Be persuaded to experience this vintage cottage by the Sassa

Gregg Neck Cottage is a single family home with four bedrooms, a spacious living area, screened-in porch, fully equipped kitchen, dining room, two full baths and two decks. The cottage has graced this area since the 1960’s. This property boasts welcoming updates turning this sleepy location into a vibrant space for guests! It has been newly painted, carpeted and has all new window coverings. It is positioned on a double lot providing green space shaded by mature maple trees for family yard games and private parking. With river access you may share a boat house deck and dock for your pleasure and experience with beautiful sunsets over the river. Multiple seating areas overlooking the river provide privacy for reflection. Please inquire about boat docking privilege for an additional fee. Bicycles are available for the even terrain. Kayaks and access to a 5 ft. fire pit/seating are outdoor river amenities shared with guests in our smaller cottage, Sassafras Cottage (1596624)—a few steps away and a VRBO veteran!
What makes this rental unique is the availability of TWO properties for special large family get-away just steps away. Gregg Neck Cottage is a welcomed addition to our properties on the Sassafras River. Hope you will give us a try!

Beyond our expectations!
We had one of the best vacations ever. Our 9 and 7 year old grandchildren wanted to live there forever! We had a beautiful house and access to the outdoor spaces including a dock for gishing, crabbing and swimming. We were able to make smores over a great fire pit and enjoyed phenominal sunsets from a sitting area overlooking the river. Gene and Suzie, the hosts were on-site and so warm and welcoming. Our every need was met immediately. We will definitely be vacationing at Gregg Neck Cottage again!

Great Hosts/Quiet Getaway
We planned a 40th birthday get a way for a friend - three couples total stayed at this wonderful home. There was plenty of space for everyone, room to hang out and a great table to playing card games. At first, we were concerned about the shared dock - but there is more than enough room for everyone out there and what a beautiful space it is. We floated in the water each day and prepared meals each night. The kitchen is very well stocked. The house was extremely clean and the hosts are so sweet. They checked with us the first night to make sure we didn't have any questions or concerns and they were available the whole weekend in case we needed something.

The pictures show that there is a deck at the house on the river.. It’s actually at a second rental about 100 yds away. The house was well stocked except there were no utensils for eating hard shell crabs. Two drawers full of knives though. There was plenty of living room furniture and it was comfy. Strange tv placement. Turning lights on and off by remote was not convenient. Good amount of towels and blankets. House could use some updating. Overall B-

Comfortable home on the Sassafras River
Our group of Masters competitive rowers appreciated coming back to this comfortable home after a hot day racing at Diamond States Masters Regatta in Middletown, DE. The lot is shady and the river view wonderful, and we were able to grill a lovely dinner on the riverside deck, after a long day of competing. Then we had a great night's sleep on comfortable beds and we were off again for a second day of races. The owner was very welcoming and we appreciated his hospitality. Generous parking for our group on the lot, and a short drive to local towns, restaurants and amenities. We also learned there is another home adjacent if we have a bigger group in the future (I'm already planning ahead for next year's regatta). It was a very nice weekend and we will definitely consider staying again. Thank you for sharing your lovely home, Loreen

We had a great time during our stay. The people we were visiting kept a boat on the river, so we rented this house to be able to stay close by. The house was clean, the host was very responsive, and was great for our party of 8. The only thing I would say is that the description states the house is waterfront but it’s really across the street. The whole property backs up to the water but the cottage is blocked by one of the houses. You do still have access to the water, docks, yard and boathouse but it is not waterfront.

Awesome time!
We had amazing time during our weekend stay! Gene and Suzanne were amazing hosts and very accommodating. The house was clean, spacious, and comfortable. Gene and Suzanne were even sweet enough to put out kayaks and inflatables so we could enjoy the lake.
