Great Vacation Spot

House is very comfortable, a lot of room to move around in. Very clean, peaceful and quiet location. Bonfire pit with firewood and arranged for us to use. Comfortable and clean outdoor furniture. We used the kayaks and also fished from the dock. I liked the convenience of hangers in the closets and hooks to hang stuff. Kitchen was well stocked. Board games and books available. We loved our stay and would return.

Winter Get Away

I love the house, the host, and the nearby area. We come here every year during Christmas to see winter and watch the ships going up and down the St. Mary's River. While you can see the ships, they're further away and off at an Eastern angle than we would like. However, a bonus we partook in was a trail that leads from the driveway and goes South through the woods along the coast that we snowshoed several times. Even with the mediocre view of the ships, I would happily come up here again in the winter.

Home away from home.

My stay was with my wife and daughter. My family loved the home. It was immaculate. I have never experienced a home with everything supplied, such as toiletries, games, bedding, and all cleaning accessories. The home was so clean and comfortable. The home was warm and cozy on our arrival. It was like you were going to your own home. It was very well prepped for our late fall stay. The view out of the picture window of the freighters and surrounding islands and bays was priceless. I highly recommend this beautiful home and quiet surroundings. I will return again.

Wonderful, private getaway!

This property is well-kept, up to date, and secluded! Great for bird watching! Great beds and bathrooms! Kitchen and outside grill are marvelous! Glorious views! The privacy and quiet is wonderful!! The only negative thing is a neighbor's shop that can be loud. But, you can't see it! And only during the day. We love this home and are thankful for it being shared with vacationers!

Peaceful days on the bay

I love this place! A friend and I stayed for only two nights, but we would have loved to stay longer! It unfortunately rained the entire time we were there, so we did not get to enjoy the kayaks on the bay, but the house was so thoughtfully stocked with cooking utensils, games and puzzles that we had everything we needed to enjoy our time, despite the weather. The view of the bay is incredible! There was a bit of an issue with the internet connection, but the host was very helpful. The only suggestion would be if there is any way to better control ants (we ran into quite a few in the kitchen) and other bugs - but, given the location of the house, it is somewhat to be expected. I definitely hope to be back!

Worth Every Penny!

Our stay at Raber Bay was nothing short of amazing. The property exceeded our expectations in just about every way possible. Clean, well stocked kitchen, plenty of seating options, quiet with an abundance of wildlife and breathtaking views. Communication with Don and Missy was also top-notch. Our only regret is we didn’t book more time. We’d love to come back next year if we’re lucky enough… I can see this place getting booked up in no time!
