Great Place for a Girls Weekend
Nestled right along the flowing river, this spacious house proved to be an absolutely fantastic setting for our ten-woman getaway! From the moment we arrived, we were struck by the sheer size of the property – plenty of room for everyone to spread out and feel comfortable without ever feeling cramped.The common areas were perfect for our group. We spent hours in the generously sized living room, catching up on comfy couches. The dining area easily accommodated all of us for meals, and the well-equipped kitchen made preparing our feasts a breeze. We especially appreciated having ample counter space and all the necessary cookware.The bedrooms were a dream! Each offered a cozy and private retreat, and we loved that there were enough bathrooms to avoid any morning rush. But the real highlight was the outdoor space. The proximity to the river was incredible. We spent our morning and afternoons lounging on the back porch by the water, simply enjoying the peaceful ambiance. Evenings were magical as we gathered around the firepit, sharing stories under the stars with the river gently flowing nearby.While the house itself was stunning, the location truly elevated our experience. Being right on the river offered a sense of serenity and connection with nature that we all cherished. It felt secluded and private, yet it was still conveniently located enough for us to explore the charming town nearby.If you're looking for a large house that can comfortably accommodate a big group, es

Wonderful stay at Governor's Mansion
This large property - inside and outside - was perfect for our family get together. We were a total of 7 adults, 3 children and an infant and there were plenty of bedrooms, bathrooms, dining room space and other areas to hang out in. The pool and fire pit were great for kids and adults, and some of the family enjoyed kayaking. The property adjoining the Choptank River was private and peaceful. The property manager - Julie - went above and beyond to provide us what we needed for a great mini-vacation. We would love to go back again in the future.

Unforgettable Stay at a Beautiful Historic Home!
Our recent stay at Betty and Lawrence’s historic home on Pealiquor Road was exceptional. From the moment we arrived, we loved the house’s elegance and thoughtful decor, and historic charm.
The property offered everything we needed. We enjoyed playing pool in the game room, fishing and kayaking on the river, and of course the beautiful pool. The fact that the property is pet-friendly was a major highlight—our dog, Maui, had an absolute blast..
We were also impressed by the progress Betty and Lawrence have made with the property. We were thrilled to see the careful updates and preservation efforts that enhanced the home’s character.
A heartfelt thank you to our hosts for their hospitality and for sharing their stunning home with us. We wish them all the best with their ongoing projects and look forward to the possibility of returning next year.
