Description

Summary:

Blake House represents one of the oldest colonial homes in Maryland, built by British settler, Charles Blake, of London, England, in 1691. The house is nestled within 12 acres of manicured gardens, boasting an abundance of indigenous and foreign flora, and surrounded by direct water access. But the most unique feature of this property is the Crown and Anchor Inn (circa. 1735), originally located in Southern Baltimore and moved to the estate in 1941.

The Space:<br>
The estate boasts limitless amenities to ensure guests of all ages, sensibilities and sizes are entertained for days and days. Blake House offers an open plan living experience with expansive water views. Blake House has four ensuite bedrooms (one on the first floor). The grounds offer a 100ft pier, outdoor corn hole and bocce ball courts, multiple outdoor dining areas, orchid potting shed, sauna house, fire-pits, lookouts, Kayaks, canoe and nature trails. The Crown and Anchor Inn has a bar, seating, wood burning fireplace, billiards table, foose ball, and mini dance floor. The Inn has two bedrooms, a full bathroom, and a viewing platform on the second floor.

We loved our stay at the house and are still talking about how lovely the house was. The hosts have the home stocked with everything you could need. We had a memorable holiday and the house was magnificent. Great hosts, we can’t thank them enough. The game room was an added bonus for everyone too. Lastly, the dinner prepared and presented by Chef Erica was incredible!!!

I highly recommend! The property was stunning, full of thoughtful amenities, and very clean. A group of nine 40-something friends spent the week simply enjoying the house, grounds, pool, fire pit, kayaks, etc. We had no reason nor desire to leave! We saw osprey, bald eagles, and blue herons among other wild life.The owners were completely accessible to us the entire time for anything we needed, although everything was easy, even down to labeled light switches. So thoughtful! Also, we had Chef Erica (arranged by our hosts) cook an amazing dinner for us. Also, highly recommend her! I only have one note: The main house/master suite was amazing! Clearly it was renovated with older and/or disabled guests in mind. However, accessibility to the pool was more challenging than expected due to some uneven brick and loose gravel paths not conducive to mobility aids or anything that rolls. And the pool is not directly off of the main house, so it was slightly further than anticipated. While this is likely a non-issue for most people, I did want to mention it since one of the appeals of the property was the disability-friendly master bedroom. So others with disabled or older guests may want to be aware. This did not impact my score, which is a 10/10, because this is a very specific issue for someone with specific mobility needs.Overall, it was a luxurious and unforgettable experience. The grounds and river views were breathtaking!

We had such an amazing 5 nights at Blake House. Such a beautiful historic home and incredible setting sitting on a lovely bluff overlooking the Corsica River. We loved the beautiful pool- which was surrounded by the most colorful hydrangeas. We kayaked and saw many osprey, herons, and a bald eagle that fit our 4th of July get together! The beds were very comfortable, the kitchen gorgeous and well stocked - the fire pit on the bluff a perfect spot to enjoy the stars at night. We had a one mile walk in the morning to the cutest coffee shop in Centerville. Great way to start the day - or the house had drip coffee, a Keurig or a French press. The hosts were so easy to reach and incredibly helpful. We hope to come back soon!

We had a wonderful time at Blake House with our extended family. Lots of room for everyone and we all loved the property, pool and offerings. The elevated welcome package, yoga session (for 11 of us!) and Chef Erica and team dinner were such incredible experiences. It was a perfect vacation. Highly recommend!!

Everything about the property was as advertised and more. We had a range of children, parents and grandchildren, everyone agreed that we must return. Home is comfortable, hosts are communicative and welcoming, the property is beautiful and peaceful. Pool and kayaking were great. Wonderful views for outdoor dining. A very special place.

We held a family celebration over a long weekend at the Blake House and there isn’t enough space to describe how amazing this property is. The owners are truly professionals who care about your visit and we can’t thank them enough for helping us pull off our event, and more importantly our four-day stay on the property, which kept all ages entertained from dawn to dusk everyday.
