Family and Pet-Friendly, Waterfront with Pier

There are two houses on the property. In June of 2015 we completed a full and total re-build of the carriage house and are back up and running on VRBO. Since retiring in 2014, Clarissa and I are living full time in the house and you may see us from time to time, but the carriage house 'cottage' has been designed to be a get-away that is comfortable, elegant, private, cozy and memory making. It is perfect for families, couples, and or friends just wanting to spend some time together. It is far enough away from civilization to enjoy the water, sky, trees and wildlife, without being entirely out of touch. You are in short driving distance to Cambridge, Easton, St. Michaels, and Salisbury, or Ocean City for lots of day-trip entertainment. For nature lovers, we are near the Blackwater Refuge for kayaks or canoes. For hunters, this is an area sought after by those interested in ducks, geese, deer, turkey and others. For golfers, there is one nearby golf course and plenty of varied and highly-rated local restaurants.

If you’d rather just stay on the property in a quiet, secluded natural arena, you can enjoy boating, kayaking, fishing, crabbing (right from the pier), swimming, walking, biking, sitting with your favorite folks, or holding down the hammock with a good book. In cool or rainy weather, there are games, books, internet and TV. The house is designed for entertaining, with a brand new kitchen equipped with plenty of cooking paraphernalia, and the living space is conducive to easy conversation and lots of comfortable seating.

There are two different areas for dining, inside or under the pergola, all in view of the Brooks Creek/Choptank vista. It is perfect for a family to get reacquainted or a romantic getaway. We provide the ambiance, you provide the fun!

Living room with 42' flat screen TV, dining room, bathroom and kitchen, two with queen beds and a third with a full size bed, and a loft with two twin-sized beds. separate 15 x 12 pergola with slate flooring, adirondacks, fireplace and dining seating for four. The pier can handle motorboats, canoes, or rowboats. Four kayaks are available. Linens and paperware provided along with all kitchen equipment and dining ware.

Beautiful sunsets
Rob, the owner, was friendly and offered good advice, such as getting groceries before checking in, as the house is about 20 minutes (one way) from Cambridge. The house was clean and well-equipped. Best part was being right on the water and the beautiful sunsets. Kayaks were out and ready but unfortunately it was a little too cold to use them. We enjoyed our weekend stay.

Weekend Family Getaway
Beautiful spot, our kids loved swinging right near the water, playing in the club house and hanging out on the dock. Great dock/deck with stairs so our dog loved swimming and easily being able to get in and out of the water! Overall great experience.

Lovely place with lovely views
My In-laws met my spouse and I here for a few days to enjoy a little time together away from the city. It was rainy and cloudy most of the time, so only one person went kayaking for a little while. Regardless of the weather, it was a great time on this property. It's a cute little place renovated above the garage and it's so peaceful in the woods by the water. Rob is very responsive!

Spectacular weekend
It will be hard to praise this rental highly enough. Everything was just wonderful: hosts, rental unit, location, view, waterfront space. Two eight year old girls loved the loft, the playhouse, the boat ride and making s'mores. We look forward to returning on future trips to the Chesapeake Bay.

My family had a very enjoyable stay over Labor Day weekend! The hosts Rob and Clarissa were very friendly and welcoming. The property is absolutely gorgeous with the water, sunsets, forest, and serenity. My husband even got to dabble in some crabbing attempts!

An athlete's paradise
This is the perfect location for the weekend warrior to either get some serious adventure, training, or relaxation while enjoying the views and the comfort of this amazing cottage. Rob and Clarissa were fabulous hosts, from before checkin through the stay. We had a hiccup over the weekend- one of our dogs locked us out of the cottage, and the owners took care of us immediately. We'd happily stay there again!

Wonderful getaway!
Really loved the place! It was great for restorative relaxation, and also for gearing up for a biking weekend. The upstairs deck was just lovely to wile away some hours sipping coffee or wine and chatting. The kitchen was well-furnished and we could make breakfast and dinner with ease. Would definitely stay again. Minor note that the single beds in the loft won't accommodate tall folks and are probably best for kids (we had a few short guests in the group fortunately!)

Peaceful
The property and area was extremely peaceful and well taken care of!! The owners are very nice and willing to help out with any concerns or needs. They also have a ton of outdoor activities, kayaks, paddle boards, paddle boat, bikes, and outdoor games, available for use! The only small complaint, were the mosquitoes but just be sure to bring plenty of bug spray!

Lovely stay with our dog
We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to Brooks Creek. Being able to look out at the water is soothing and being able to be on the water is rejuvenating. The carriage house was clean and well stocked with everything we needed. The beds were comfortable. But best of all, Rob and Clarissa's willingness to share their property with us was wonderful. This property allowed us to have our dog along which helped us learn more about her and us.

Quick Family Get Away
Needed to have a quick family get away during Spring Break for Mom, Dad and four teenagers. Just what we needed. Great waterfront property with kayaks, firepit, dock and lounge areas. Kids were able to put down the phones, enjoy the property and relax. Clarissa and Robert were great hosts and made sure we had everything we needed. Don't miss the sunsets!

Lovely property
Rob and Clarissa have a wonderful a wonderful property right on the water. It is secluded and very tranquil. We could open the door and our dogs were able to swim without us having to worry about bothering neighbors. The house has everything you could want and there are kayaks and bicycles. It is beautifully decorated and the bedding was really high quality which made me very happy. We will definitely be back.

Family Birthday Celebration
This was an excellent spot to enjoy a memorable weekend. The weather could not have been better and all 8 of us and 2 little dogs enjoyed all the property offerings. Only two minor critical reviews; In reviewing the property photos, I hadn't been aware that there were many steps to get up to the living space. That was difficult for my husband and limited his comings and goings. Had I known in advance, I may not have chosen this particular spot. Additionally, and absolutely nothing the hosts can control, the mosquitoes and ticks were quite problematic. Autumn there must be idyllic! We made some wonderful memories and thoroughly enjoyed this lovely spot in Cambridge. The hosts are such warm and accommodating people and loved having them show us around.

Great waterfront rental
My family enjoyed our stay! The hosts are very friendly and welcoming. The house is comfortable with plenty of space. It is a beautiful waterfront location with an expansive yard. We brought our 16 foot skiff and docked it on property. We spent days fishing on the boat and fishing/crabbing on the dock which was well furnished with adirondack chairs, a bench and an umbrella. My son enjoyed the paddle board and kayak. We grilled in the yard a few times and enjoyed a fire for smores. We had one clear night which was perfect for star gazing from the dock. If you want a peaceful place to relax with your family, this is the place to be!
