Boys Annual Fall Glamping

This house was the perfect venue for our trip- we caught fish and crabs off the backyard pier, we watched the sun rise and set off the pier, we very much enjoyed relaxing by the fire pit with the stash of fire wood right next to it. The picnic table in the yard and decks allowed us to dine alfresco. The deck grill was very helpful for us in prepping our meals.. we hope to come back again and recommend this place to anyone seeking some quiet time from the city.

Fantastic family time at this property

The owner was incredibly responsive and helpful, promptly answering all our questions before our stay. The location is serene and beautiful, offering a peaceful getaway. The provided kayaks were a fantastic amenity, and we enjoyed being out on the water every day.

Family getaway

Had a lovely stay at this Cambridge waterfront property. It is about 20 minutes outside of town in a lovely quiet neighborhood. Plenty of room for two families with children and dogs. We all had a nice time out on the kayaks and paddleboards, and spent evenings watching the sun go down and crabbing. We had quite a few mosquitoes, so plan to pack extra bug spray. The crabbing was fantastic, and the host had two large crab pots in addition to two small crab traps for our enjoyment. The kids had a great time, and we caught over 3 dozen crabs. The host was very responsive to communications and was a pleasure to work with.

Fantastic house and location

TL;DR: we had the best vacation in years here! Long Story: We were 2 families (9 in total) and stayed for a week. The house is about a 25 minute drive to Cambridge where you have food, groceries and a Walmart for supplies. The house, dock and property location were the primary reasons we chose to stay here, as its very quiet and remote but close enough to go out to dinner. One tip: as you're driving to and from Cambridge, keep your eyes open for deer as they can jump out in front of you in a pack. The house itself was great, stocked with toys, games, fishing poles, crab traps, kayaks and bikes. You'll need to bring your own bedsheets, towels and supplies like toilet paper and paper towels. The owner, Alan, is very responsive and communicates all of this in his welcome letter. We brought our own fishing gear and right off the dock you can catch dozen of Perch and Spot in the early morning and evening which can be used as live bait for larger fish in the Chesapeake. We rented a boat from Slaughter Creek Marina and they delivered and picked up the boat to the house if you rent for several days, otherwise it's about a 45 drive to them. The bedrooms are comfortable and there's air conditioning in all of them. Wifi was great and cell service was fine on ATT, Verizon and TMobile. Watching the sun rise in the morning from the dock is amazing! If you're looking for a place away from the crowds but close to a city, you can't go wrong staying here!

My family and my sister in law’s family stayed there for 3 nights. We all had a great time! Grandpa and my husband love fishing and crabbing while kids kayaking. We also watched sunrise twice in the backyard, which is beautiful. Inside the house has enough room for my group. We enjoy our staying!

Beautiful views and peaceful setting

The location on the water allowed our family to enjoy swimming, kayaking, paddle boarding, fishing and attempts at crabbing. The outdoor space provided plenty of room for the kids to play ball, run around, have water gun fights without worry of disturbing the neighbors (the house is on a cul de as). We also biked, took long walks and visited local crab shack for delicious crabs. Our host Alan was easy to contact and answered our questions timely. Overall we had a lovely vacation! Lisa (renter)

This house offered a quiet, relaxing getaway for my adult family and grandchild. It is just as pictured. Roomy and comfortable for our family of six adults, and two dogs.

Great stay in the Neck District near Cambridge, MD

Alan was a terrific and attentive host. My family and I cannot say enough good things about his place, especially the cleanliness, high level of organization/basic amenities, and a truly world class outdoor set-up with a private pier, water views on three sides, and CRAB POTS. We had an all around blast. Only small glitch (probably due to unusual rain storms) was that the internet system malfunctioned much of our stay, but Alan helped us get it working one time and is now working to replace the system. We'll definitely hope to return in the future. We've explore much of the Bay and feel the Neck District is a true gem in its own right, with easy access to other marquee highlights in the region.
