About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Serene spot, West River dock, sunsets, the Bay, only 40 min from Alexandria, DC.

A perfect getaway spot, on a peninsula on the West River just across from Galesville. Houses on the point are mostly waterfront and neighbors are friendly and quiet. Say hi or just enjoy the sunset from the porch or the dock. Kitchen is fine for cooking, though nearby restaurants in Deale and Galesville are tempting and Annapolis is only 20 minutes away. If you are a boater, the Bay awaits! Galesville is even closer by water and you can kayak to dinner. I love going to this peaceful place, and I hope you will too.

The house is available at reduced rates during the colder months, a perfect spot for a sabbatical or writing that book. It's cozy in winter with baseboard heat, and the fireplace works.
The cottage is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and space to spread out with a separate bedroom. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a sofa bed.
