Elkton, Maryland
This 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom home is the perfect place to get away from it all while remaining convenient to all the best that Maryland, Delaware, and Pennsylvania have to offer. Minutes from Fair Hill Natural Resource Management Area for the horseback riders, mountain bikers, hikers, and nature enthusiasts. University of Delaware is a quick 10 minute ride away to catch a football game, celebrate commencement, or enjoy the perks of downtown Newark. Other local attractions abound, including orchards, vineyards, breweries, boating, and fishing. Just an hour from Baltimore or Philadelphia and not far from major highways, which makes for the perfect getaway with minimal traffic.
The house is situated on 4 beautifully wooded acres, with a path down to a peaceful creek at the back of the property. It includes all the major amenities of a home away from home, including fully outfitted kitchen, washer and dryer, spacious bedrooms, comfortable living room, and sleeping arrangements for a group of up to 6 people.
We had a very good stay in a very comfortable and pleasantly decorated house for Christmas. We were able to cook French-style festive meals because the kitchen was very well equipped. We took advantage of the calm of the environment but the house was a good starting point for many visits. Thanks to Sharon first allowed our family to get together to celebrate Christmas!
Ideal private getaway with all the comforts and convenience you can ask for. This is a charming squeaky clean home meticulously prepared by a premier host.Thank you Sharon again and again:)
A great home away from home! Clean, comfortable with all the amenities needed. The owner, Sharon was so easy to work with, as it was our first VRBO experience. We look forward to future stays here.
We were 3 seniors visiting for a horse show at Fair Hill. The location couldn't have been more convenient, and so much nicer than a chain hotel. Extremely well stocked kitchen, we felt like we were home. Host was easy to reach and extremely easy to work with.
Sharon is extremely responsive and our stay at Appleton. Retreat was awesome as usual. It’s like our home away from home. Enjoyed being able to hit blackberry and blueberry picking close by. Can’t wait to return!
The house was just as pictured and the proximity to U-Del was awesome!
This surpassed our expectations! The home itself was super clean, ready for check in for our family of 4. The location was perfect for our adventures. The creek out back was perfect for our kids, ages 4 and 2 1/2! Will definitely be staying for any returning adventures!!
This is our second trip to the Appleton retreat. We were here from Fri-Sun for a sports weekend at fields nearby. Sharon thinks of everything to make our stay super comfortable, including games for the kids, swings and hammocks and comfy Adirondack chairs on the front and side patios. Appreciated the stocked kitchen to cook breakfast and dinner for the group, as well as the washer and dryer. Thank you for your responsive communication and look forward to returning!
We could not be happier with our stay. Beautiful property, lovely home, and a perfect distance to UD. I would suggest staying here over any hotel in Newark! Thank you!
In Elkton for the horse trials at Fair Hill. Super cute, well appointed home, very close (like 6 minutes) from the barns. Would absolutely stay here again in the future!
From check-in to check-out, the host was helpful, communicative, and supportive of our conference schedule. The house was clean, spacious, and perfect for hosting my mixed-sex group of undergraduate students and me. Further, the property contains many beautiful large-diameter trees and space for a refreshing walk in the woods. Thanks!
We came to watch our daughter play. It was a wonderful stay clean and comfortable.
We rented Sharon’s home while we were visiting family, and it was lovely! Very comfortable, had everything we needed. Comfortable king sized bed (so nice to have a good mattress to sleep on when you’re traveling!), thoughtfully stocked kitchen. Kids loved exploring the woods and creek at the back of the property.
Our stay was excellent! The house was kept up very well—clean and very comfortable. Access and leaving procedures were simple to follow, and we enjoyed using it as a base to come and go from as we explored the area. I would recommend this property, and look to rent it again in the future.
The house was beautiful, very clean, and stocked with whatever we needed. There was a nice sitting area in the back yard with a fire pit that we enjoyed. The wooded area in the back is really big, nice walk to the creek. We were looking for a nice, quiet place for a family vacation and this house was perfect!
We found the same high standard on our second visit to this property. Communication with the owner is easy and very pleasant. Many thanks!
My family and I stayed for a long weekend (Fri-Sun). While there were only 3 of us during this stay, it would be plenty roomy for my family of 5 if we came here. The instructions and communications for checking in were very clear and Sharon was very responsive. The house was very clean and exactly as shown in the description. All of the amenities were updated (kitchen all with new appliances), and blankets and ceiling fans were readily available if we were chilly or warm. We played a few games of Uno (card games available) for some old school fun. I sat on the front porch in the morning and evenings with a drink. There's lots of green space, birds chirping, and deer wandering in and out of the property. The house is right off of a busy road, so there is some road noise, but nothing that kept us up at night. The location is great as it's super easy to get to and from I-95 and to other places. We hit Milburn Orchards (within a few minutes from the house) for some blackberry picking. My daughter loved the canopy chair swing. When we're back in the area, we'll make sure we book here again!
Exactly as advertised, clean, nice place. Two thumbs up.
From the moment we pulled up to the home you feel welcome. The yard is huge and inviting with a comfy covered sitting area and also another area with a fire pit. During our stay we took the short wooded walk to the babbling brook. Very picturesque. If I could describe the indoors it would be “outstanding.” Everything was so clean and pretty. The decor and color choices are lovely. But the best part was how well this home is stocked with anything you could possibly need. The kitchen was a dream to cook in. The owners are extremely responsive. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and highly recommend this experience to others.
My family had a wonderful stay here! Very clean, well equipped, and plenty of space for everyone! I really appreciated the beds being so comfortable and also having blackout curtains- which helped us all sleep really well! Location is easy to get to. Will be back!!
This home has everything you could ask for and more! The host communicates quickly if you have any questions. This home was spotless ( and I truly appreciate this )! I look forward to my next stay.
Appleton Retreat was the perfect place to reconnect with family! The location was ideal and the house was perfect for 6 adults. The home is beautifully decorated and provided a much needed retreat. Loved the firepit and trail walk to the creek. perfect communication, check-in, and impeccably clean. Excellent stay.
