Cottage on Cabin Creek

The cottage is the perfect place for a couple's get away. The views of Cabin Creek are stunning. You will enjoy beautiful sunrises and sunsets. You may also enjoy watching lots of water fowl, including ospreys which nest right outside the cottage. While staying at the cottage, you may use our kayaks or canoe and private pier. As you relax on the pier, you can watch the riverboats from Suicide Bridge Restaurant pass by and local watermen bringing in their catch. In the evening, you may roast marshmallows at the fire pit. The cottage is ready for company.
Please note - The cottage is suited for 1 to 2 people.

My husband and I had a wonderful, relaxing stay at this cute cottage. We wanted to get away for the night to celebrate our anniversary/my birthday. The host had great communication and even left us a bottle of wine. The view was amazing. I booked a dinner cruise at Suicide Bridge restaurant which is literally 5-6 mins away by car. I’ll definitely be back for a longer stay!!

Just beautiful. Janelle is a fantastic host. The house was super cute and clean. The property is something you don't want to miss. Osprey, purple martins, eagle, turtles. ducks, squirrels, kayak, canoe, firepit, sunrise and sunset on the pier, close restaurant and bar. Adequate kitchen supplies with all that was needed, small cooktop, refrigerator and freezer. Can't say enough.

I cannot say enough about our stay at The Cottage. The house was perfect for my Fiancé and I! The bed was super comfortable, linens provided, lounge chairs, kayaks. The kitchen was already stocked with water and coffee, and a bottle of wine to enjoy! They have a book and photos for you to see their adventure as they were renovating the house and property. Janelle was very quick to respond to all of my questions. You will not be disappointed when you book this beautiful property! Thank you once again Greg and Janelle!

A slice of heaven
The cottage was immaculate and cozy, with breathtaking views of the water and wildlife! The loft and balcony were lovely. The bed was incredibly comfortable! The welcoming wine was a nice surprise and delicious! My husband caught perch and catfish from the dock. The Suicide Bridge Restaurant (Around the corner) had freshly cooked seafood and the most awesome sunset we've seen in a long time! Can't wait to return!

The perfect cozy getaway
The Cottage on Cabin Creek was the absolute perfect place for our long weekend getaway. The cabin is beautifully designed. The location is amazing, on the water, with full-water views from everywhere, including a magical perch from the balcony outside the bedroom. We felt we had our own personal osprey family, constantly perched on the nest next to our dock. The kayaks were set up in a way that made them incredibly easy to access, launch, and dock. Janelle was wonderfully responsive. The place really was exactly as advertised (which isn't always the case on VRBO and similar sites). A couple of things to know, in case they matter to you. The cabin really is small, and would not be a fit for more than two, and could get tight for a long, extended stay. The kitchen is also small: just a two-burner range, no oven; a dorm-type refrigerator. The bed is in the loft upstairs, the only bathroom downstairs. The bugs in the area can get pretty thick in the summer, so make sure to bring spray. To be clear, none of that is intended as complaint. We loved our stay there and would happily return many times!

The cottage was really cute. The views of the water were wonderful. Lots of Osprey doing their fishing and tending the nest right outside the cottage. Very clean and well maintained property. Very peaceful place to unwind but close to things to do and to things you need.

If sunsets on the water is your thing, this is your place
This is our third time staying here because it is lovely. We took the canoe to dinner at suicide bridge restaurant, so much fun, best view for sunrise and sunset. The pier is an extended room, worth enjoying. We had great meals and shopping in Cambridge and Easton and always enjoy all the great hiking. I left my hat and Janelle sent it to me right away. Thank you, see you again!

Waterfront Escape
I booked this property as a extra long weekend trip for my Husband's birthday. I was looking for a place on the water and with access to fishing spots. The house itself has a dock we fished off of, and it’s close to other local fishing spots. The views from the house are great, there was even an Osprey family nesting right by the dock. It’s a perfect getway for 2 people. The house was clean and well stocked. Waking up with the sunrise over the water was amazing. There are a lot of windows, so if you are sensitive to light when sleeping, bring a sleep mask. Overall, I would not hesitate to stay again.

Beautiful!
This house and location was amazing! We had such a great time! We caught tons of fish and even caught crabs. If you are looking for a beautiful home on the water away from everyone this is the house. The property owner left us a bottle of wine that was amazing and so very nice of her. My husband and I got up one morning and drove to Ocean city which was only 1 hour away to visit the ocean and check out all the shops. It was nice to then come home to a quiet home. We will for sure go back.

Quiet Delight
What a beautiful cottage! It was perfect for two of us. If we weren’t kayaking or sitting on the pier, we could look out the windows and enjoy the view. The only noise we heard was from the boats going by, and even that was pleasant. If you’re looking to unplug, you’ve found the right place. Janelle was a lovely host - she provided a bottle of wine for us to enjoy on the pier and was very responsive!

Loved the house, location and views! Conveniently located to Cambridge and Black Water Wildlife Refuge, where we explored during our visit. We loved all the bird watching, and especially loved that the home came equipped with binoculars considering we meant to bring our own, but forgot.
