Step back in time and experience the simple pleasures of life along the Potomac River in this enchanting four-bedroom cottage nestled in the charming waterfront community of Tall Timbers, Maryland.
Like stepping into a beautifully preserved time capsule from 1950's, this one-of-a-kind retreat captures the warmth, craftsmanship, and character of a bygone era. From the gleaming hardwood floors and exposed wooden beams to the abundance of original woodwork, classic farmhouse sink, and beautiful fireplace, every corner tells a story. Lovingly maintained and in pristine vintage condition, the cottage offers an authentic experience that is increasingly difficult to find.
Spend your mornings enjoying the peaceful waterfront setting, afternoons relaxing on the beautiful dock, crabbing and fishing until your heart's content, early evenings watching the most breathtaking sunsets and later evenings unwinding in the cozy, nostalgic atmosphere of this truly special home.
The cottage features four inviting bedrooms, a fully equipped kitchen, and a dining room thoughtfully stocked with the cookware, dishes, utensils, and essentials needed to prepare and enjoy meals together.
This is not a modernized imitation of a vintage cottage. It is the real thing — a remarkably preserved piece of Americana where the beauty lies in its authenticity, simplicity, and timeless appeal.
A Note About Your Stay
In keeping with the cottage’s traditional, bring-your-own approach, guests are asked to provide their own bed linens, pillows and bedding, bath and beach towels, toilet paper, paper towels, and personal toiletries. These items are not supplied by the host. There is a laundrymat just a few miles down the road. We also keep the cleaning cost low by asking guests to do a quick sweep and kitchen/bathroom wipe down prior to leaving. Our house keeper comes throughout the month to do deep cleans. But this also allows for a less expensive stay for our guests. This part is a pilot program so we will see how respectful our guests are of this!
Our nightly rates are designed to reflect this simplified offering, allowing guests to enjoy a unique and spacious waterfront getaway at an approachable price.
Come for the waterfront, stay for the nostalgia, and leave with memories of a simpler time.
Whether you’re gathering with family, escaping for a quiet long weekend, or simply longing to experience the charm of an earlier era, this Tall Timbers treasure offers something truly unforgettable.
