Our group of 9 loved the water view, kayaks, the large dining and deck table that seated 9-10 folks. The whole house was very well stocked for a VRBO and we really appreciated that. We enjoyed sitting in the swing right by the water. George was fantastic to work with in the rental process.

A beautiful house located just 30 minutes outside the main core of Baltimore. If you're looking for a place to relax, unwind, and get away from it all while still making sure you have food, drinks, and a major city nearby, you can't do much better than this. The house is also spacious, even with five bedrooms and room to sleep over 15 people, and has a gorgeous view of the river, with both a deck and patio perfect for admiring the scene.

Awesome house!

What a beautiful piece of property! The house was newly renovated and had everything we needed. We loved the deck where we stepped out for a magnificent sunrise and went right back to sleep. We often laid on the hammock, and used the fishing poles left for us (we caught a catfish!) We also took the four kayaks out and ventured under the railroad tracks to a quiet spot among the reeds. The home is very close to an Amtrak railroad. Luckily that was not an issue for our family as we loved the whistles and rumbles. Absolutely would stay there again! Everyone loved it.

Fabulous house

My family and I were gathering to celebrate our dear aunts 80th birthday. This house was the perfect location for all the festivities this weekend. There was plenty of space for the 12 people that stayed overnight as well as the extra people we hosted at the house for dinner on Friday and Saturday night. The views of the bay are impeccable. It is an older house, but the inside touches were so clean and comfortabe. The main level is just so great for hanging out with the large group of people and you can spread out and just really have plenty of room to sit down and hang with each other The deck was great to hang out on with the lights. Down in the backyard you had plenty of kayaks, which my son enjoy kayaking throughout the weekend. The fire pit was awesome. It was just an overall amazing stay and we can’t wait to rent this property again.
