Quaint and Quiet

Located on a dead-end road, the property is situated on a quiet spot where you can relax and listen to the birds sing on the side deck. The property is a convenient drive to Annapolis, Washington DC, and northern Virginia.The house was very clean and comfortable. The hosts were very good about communicating and answering questions. Two of the biggest beds are only double sized, so plan accordingly. Overall we were very happy with our stay and would stay here again.

Beautiful home!

Absolutely gorgeous home! Highly recommend this property! The pictures do not do it justice. The house was impeccably clean. The two downstairs bedrooms were quite large and the loft was perfect for my teenage daughter and her friend. The property was very peaceful and quiet. The road was practically private. Owners of the property were highly responsive and checked on us during our stay. Again, highly recommend.
