Perfect Commissioning Week Getaway

Our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay! It was the perfect location for relaxing away from the busyness of our son’s USNA commissioning week. Beautiful scenery, quiet, peaceful with plenty of fun amenities. My family enjoyed the pool, kayaks, large backyard, cornhole, basketball and bicycle rides. Super close to the grocery store and Target and an easy drive to the Yard. Highly recommended!! Bonus…exceptional host who was super helpful and accommodating! P

Magnificent Stay

The property was incredible and John was a great host. We enjoyed the pool, hot tub, and boating from the house’s dock to Kent narrows many dock bars and restaurants as well as St. Michaels. My only complaint is that we didn’t stay longer, as we enjoyed every minute.
