Great Stay on the East River!!

We really enjoyed our stay in this cottage. Right on the river with kayaks and paddleboards available. Brand new BBQ ready for use. Everything was clean and the kitchen was nicely appointed. Town of Mathews is just a short jaunt down the road. Our family had a great time!! Five stars!

Amazing Chesapeake Getaway

We had an amazing stay—so much fun, and the host was absolutely wonderful! Highly recommend this spot if you’re looking for a quiet, private getaway near the Bay.The host, who lives next door, was incredibly warm and welcoming. She helped us get settled, offered great local recommendations, and made sure everything was perfect throughout our stay. Any questions we had were quickly and kindly addressed.She also generously shared her kayaks, paddle boards, and crabbing equipment, which made it easy for us to enjoy all the outdoor activities without a worry. The private pier with Adirondack chairs was a perfect place to relax, watch the sunset, and take in the local wildlife.We would definitely come back and stay here again!

Wonderful and so relaxing!

This cottage is exactly how it is described. It was very clean! The host was so nice and so accommodating. She assured us that we could walk all over the property and I certainly did. There were deck chairs on the dock and it was just so peaceful. We definitely want to come back.
