The main town too is lovely, with two large 18th century mansions on the National Register of Historic Places, three museums which discuss the town's local heritage and the maritime industry, and many picturesque board houses. The town is particularly stunning at sunset, when the warm light envelops the town and harbor in an intense glow.

The Oysterman Cottage was absolutely delightful, just perfect for my elderly parents because both bedrooms were on the first floor, and very comfortable! Plenty of linens and extra towels, fully stocked coffee bar, and the owner was extremely responsive and very friendly. It was our first time in Rock Hall, and we found everyone in the quiet cozy community friendly and very helpful. We will definitely be back!!

Always a great stay

My friends and I stay here every year because it’s so convenient to the harbor, restaurants and a walk or shuttle to the town. The shuttle service was new this year since it shut down in 2020. I am happy this is back again! The house is always well stocked with items we need. I’d recommend bringing an extra roll of paper towels as we go through quite a bit. There are 6 ladies who stay in this house and we always manage with one bathroom! The back screened in porch is wonderful.

Wonderful cottage and location

This is my second year staying at the house. I go every year to Rock hall MD for a ladies fishing trip. The house is spacious and really has everything we need to stay comfortably. We do wish there was another bathroom or half bath but the bathroom that they have is very large and easy enough to double up while getting washed up or makeup and hair. We spent a lot of time on the back screened in porch. We also love the location because we can walk to the restaurants and the town pool and harbor.

Great Escape from DC

We wanted a change of scene for Thanksgiving this year and this cottage was perfect. The three of us cooked together in the large, well-equipped kitchen and enjoyed reading and watching movies in the comfortable living room. We all slept well and appreciated the spacious, new bathroom. At the end of the day, we were treated to the most spectacular sunsets imaginable, only a short walk from the cottage. Although the weather was unusually warm for Thanksgiving, I wished it were warmer so we could've spent more time on the large screen porch. It's a sweet cottage and I've recommended to a friend already!

Comfy cottage

This was perfect for our family. Loved the updated bathroom, very spacious, thick towels, good hot water. Beds were comfortable. Large, well-supplied kitchen. Lovely screened porch was a great space for eating and relaxing outside with the dogs. Great location, within walking distance of our 2 favorite restaurants. We had stayed here many years ago and we’re happy it was available for our trip this year.

Lovely, Peaceful Stay in Rock Hall

This is our 2nd time staying at this cottage. Each time the home was clean and well stocked and did have start-up supplies for guests. It is conveniently located and within walking distance to marina, restaurants, bay, etc. We enjoyed sitting and eating on the peaceful, screened-in back porch that overlooks a large tree shaded backyard. The host was also accommodating with a special request we had. It is also a plus that it is pet friendly and there was no evidence that any pets had been there prior to our arrival. So, if you have a pet or not, this is a lovely place to stay. Since we have family in the area, we will continue to stay here during our family visits.
