We spent a long weekend at this beautiful home. We loved the view and had crabs twice during our stay. Home was clean. I can only imagine how much fun it would be during the spring and summer months with all the options to take advantage of the water. Would love to return.

Location was perfect for attending a wedding at Rousby Hall. The house was very clean and provided so many amenities. We did not have enough time to spend outdoors. The view was wonderful and we all loved the windows. I also like that you have luggage stands/racks available in the rooms.

Great southern Maryland getaway!

I spent my summers with my grandparents in southern Maryland catching crabs and enjoying the water. This rental did not disappoint. The pictures and description are true to the property. We loved hanging out on the pier while the girls tried to catch crabs, paddle boarding down to Solomons and past my grandparents' old house, and eating breakfast with the most beautiful view. Thank you and we will be back!

Beautiful house set on a beautiful property. The house has everything you will need to enjoy your stay. Our kids enjoyed crabbing/ fishing on the dock and the downstairs bedroom was the perfect area for all of them to relax at night. Also plenty of paddle boards and kayaks to enjoy on the water. A nice quiet area just to sit back and relax.

Boathouse on Mill Creek is a Gem!

The Boathouse on Mill Creek is top notch. We appreciated all of the design details and the very well equipped kitchen. Our group of 4 adults enjoyed paddling, sitting on the dock reading and watching all the activity on the water, cooking, and relaxing with great water views out the windows. Dee was immediately responsive and very helpful with local recommendations. Lots of activity options near by, but you won’t be in any hurry to leave this beautiful spot.

Boat House on Mill Creek

A beautiful house and extremely comfortable! The views are amazing! We even went crabbing and everyone had a blast checking on the cages and eating them. We; unfortunately, had rain the first 3 days, but there was a great play place for the grands. And of course a great time to fish is in the rain. We had a fantastic family vaca. I can not recommend this place enough! My family wants to come back next year

Wonderful Family Vacation - Lovely Home!

My family had a wonderful stay relaxing, fishing and crabbing off the dock, paddle boarding and enjoying beautiful sunsets from this well appointed home. We didn’t have to bring much from home as there were many thoughtful items provided including sunsceeen and shampoo, first aid kits, and even bait. A memorable trip for my family - highly recommend and we would definitely love to stay here again!

Relaxing on the water

Host was quick to respond and very informative. We utilized the dock for fishing and crabbing. Host provided everything you would need to enjoy the time by the water.

Awesome Stay

My family and I loved our stay at the Boathouse! The private dock access to the water for swimming, fishing, crabbing, kayaking, and paddle boarding made for endless fun for the kids and adults too. The home was in excellent condition with comfortable living spaces and outstanding views of the water from the main floor. Being a short ride to grocery stores and restaurants was a plus too! Dee Dee was also very helpful through the process and our stay and was responsive anytime we reached out to connect - which wasn’t often since everything was in great shape and well explained. We highly recommend the Boathouse and definitely hope to be back for another stay!

Spring Break Getaway

We loved everything about this charming house. The sunset views are really spectacular and the home was very clean, cozy and tastefully decorated. Spending time in the living space feels like being in a water side treehouse! It was conveniently located to markets, Solomons Island and several parks and trails. Our group ranged in age from our youngest son (11)to my parents in their 70s and everyone was happy. I especially appreciated the provided linens in all white, they were comfortable and I didn't worry about cleanliness. We would love to return!

Absolutely beautiful!

This home is absolutely beautiful…inside and out. The view from the house was beyond amazing and the sunsets were even better. The house was spotless and had everything you would need made available to you (except for food). The pictures don’t do it justice. We spent hours on the dock relaxing, fishing, crabbing and enjoying the breeze and the sun! Enjoyed using the kayaks and touring the area from the water. Loved every minute we were there and were sad to see our week go by so quickly. A gem of a find! You will not be disappointed!!!!
