Riverfront Country House on The Sassafras River

This home has been completely restored lovingly by its owners, and sits upon an overlook of the river. Nature is all around you in this waterfront home. While this is a new listing to the market, the owner has been entertaining overnight guests in this home for many years.

The property includes the use of an additional efficiency unit above the garage. The property can sleep up to 12 guests overnight. The property includes a screened-in porch facing the waterfront view, a fire pit, kayaks and paddleboards, and a swim ladder on the dock. You can explore the shoreline or take a nap in the window seat overlooking the water.

Secluded and out-of-the-way, yet 15 minutes from major shopping.

Lovely retreat on the river
My family had a relaxing, fun weekend at the house. My 20-something children all loved the window seat where they curled up and read. We enjoyed time on the river with the kayaks and paddleboards. The beds were comfy, kitchen well stocked and overall the house is cozy. It was the perfect get-away for our family!

Birthday Getaway
What a fantastic home with an awesome view! 9 lifelong friends celebrated our 65th birthdays. We especially enjoyed the screened in porch and fire pit. The place was immaculate! Thank you for providing such a comfortable home for us to celebrate and relax.

Highly recommend this rental!!!!
I was looking last minute for a rental to host Thanksgiving this year and I stumbled across this gem. I could not believe that it was available so I was very skeptical about what I would find when I arrived. I have had a bad experience before so I was hoping that this wouldn't be a repeat. And it was not. From the very beginning, even before I booked, the host was responsive and very friendly. I was even more surprised when I arrived, the house is very comfortable and the property is breathtaking. During my stay, she was very willing to answer our questions even though I felt bad asking because it was a holiday. I appreciated everything that she did to make our visit enjoyable. I can't wait to book it again!

Wonderful venue for family reunion
This property is beautiful. Situated right on the river, it has great views. Lots of space to spread out and have kids run around. Well stocked kitchen and comfortable beds with plenty of bedding and towels. Ruth was a pleasure to deal with and quick to respond. Highly recommend this property!

Fall Weekend Getaway
Charming home in a lovely, peaceful setting on the river. Super convenient location. We walked to breakfast place. Just a three minute drive to nice restaurant on the Marina. Great starting point to visit Chestertown and spend time with family in the area. Hosts were very accessible by text for minor issues.

Wonderful Place to Stay
Our family so enjoyed staying here. There was plenty of room to spread out. It was so cozy and relaxing. It felt like home. The screened in back porch that overlooked the river was our favorite hang out place. The house was well supplied with everything you might need as well as some nice touches that you don't find at most places. The owner was always very quick to respond to any questions and went out of her way to make sure you had everything you needed. She was great! I am really hoping we have the opportunity to make a repeat visit.

We are definitely coming back!
I can't believe what a gem of a place this house is. We searched for a place near Middletown (20 min) for a quick weekend with family. We were blown away by the character and location of the house. Rita & Brian made this home so inviting. There was plenty of room for our family of 8 with space left over. The view from the screen porch was peaceful, and the property itself was well maintained. The house was well stocked and met all of our needs. We are making plans to visit again, we loved it that much!

Amazing family get together!
We had an amazing time at this house!! The property is absolutely beautiful and the owner was extremely attentive to all of our needs! This house was unbelievably stocked with all the little odds and ends that you always need and have to buy when getting together in a large family setting. It was all there for us! Well stocked kitchen with enough plates for everyone! Salt and pepper…so many times we have to go purchase shakers for another meal! Even coffee pods for the k-cup! The owner goes above and beyond to make the stay special!! We used the kayaks and had a great time. Paddle boards were provided but we aren’t coordinated enough! Beds were amazingly comfortable! TVs everywhere, but we were having family fun and didn’t have time to watch. It was great to have a master bedroom on the first floor for my mom who struggles with the steps and the apartment over the garage provided a little extra privacy for my nephew. I have recommended this facility to my friends and family and highly recommend to all who read this review!!
