Family get-away chill time
Best VRBO or ABNB we've ever stayed at! Spotlessly clean and so organized to make everything easy for us to enjoy. The shed full of water craft is wonderful. Also, we didn't know the area at all and found Lewisburg to be great for dinners. I highly recommend this property

Artistic, Thoughtful BEAUTIFUL
This corner of the St Clements Bay is magical. My husband and I escaped to this peaceful, clean, beautifully arranged home. Each piece of furniture was artfully selected and had a special design detail. There was beautiful artwork all around the house , some even by the host! We spent our time in the back sunroom and pier with the water, wildlife, sunrise, moonrise, sailboats, speedboats and classic Maryland waterman’s boats as our scenery. The hosts labeled everything and many personal touches made us feel at home. We are appreciative to have had the opportunity to stay here. Can’t wait to book again.

Perfect Getaway
Enjoyed our stay. House was clean. View lovely. Only challenges were discovering after our first night that most of the windows in the sunroom were unlocked... and I wasn't thrilled with having to strip the beds before we departed.

serene escape from the Beltway
wanted a little get away from some of the chaos of the Beltway- could not have found a more enchanting cottage that made all the noise and stress of the beltway melt away within minutes of arriving. was a wonderful time just enjoying the passtime of watching ospreys, herons and kayaking out on St. Clements. thank you for the chance to get away

So peaceful!
We enjoyed out stay very much in February. It was so quiet and nice. Very very clean! Three generations of family came and loved. The sunroom with the view of the water was amazing and nice and toasty for our winter getaway. Thank you Diane and Harold for being so helpful, all the extra nice touches you added, and sharing your lovely cottage with us! We would love to visit again.

Beautiful and peaceful getaway
The property was beautiful and the location is peaceful, secluded, and relaxing. We loved the sun porch with a beautiful waterfront view of the bay. Perfect place for a quiet and relaxing stay while enjoying beautiful views and nature. We would definitely stay here again. House was spotless and lovely decor. Very comfortable and hosts provided lots of amenities and information about nearby restaurants and shops in town.

Delicious breezes and two river views
We wanted (needed) peace and quiet and got that and more. The owners are pros and the house was a perfect “red cottage by the river”. Oh, and the adolescent Ospreys in their nest being cared for by their two parents was the riveting attraction.

Wonderfully peaceful
Our stay was absolutely beautiful. The home is perfectly organized, clean and so very well thought out. Diane and Harold have thought out everything you would want or need during your stay including lovely extra touches like fresh flowers and snacks. We used their kayaks and fire pit and loved reading in the sunroom. We hope to come back again!

Friends Weekend
I spent the weekend here with my high school friends for our annual weekend to hang out and reconnect. The setting was perfect and we remarked that the house looked even better in person than in the pictures. Wonderful place for a low-key relaxing weekend. We used one of the kayaks, the fire pit, and caught some crabs off the pier. Definitely thinking of returning some time.

Perfect Get Away
We loved, beyond belief, your home! It exceeded our expectations. It was so clean, beautifully decorated, comfortable beds and anything we needed was there. We were greeted with fresh flowers and a charcuterie board. Nice touch. This was my first time using Vrbo - we sure found a gem of a cottage! The property is beautifully landscaped. We enjoyed sitting outside looking at the water. Unfortunately, we didn’t have enough time to use the canoe or kayaks that were made available to us. Maybe next time. Diane and Harold were fantastic hosts. We enjoyed ourselves so much that we extended our stay for an extra day. We will definitely recommend your property to anyone coming to this area. Thanks again for a memorable time. Looking forward to future stays, God willing. 🙏💕

Everything you need to relax
This was a great property. It was very clean, and it’s set up with pretty much everything you could need for the week. We’ve stayed in a bunch of rentals and this one was the most thoughtfully done. It made for a very relaxing week. The sunrises are beautiful and the view over St. Clements Bay is gorgeous.
