Place was a great place to stay! Amazing views, we got to see sunset on the lake as well as visit the beach which was a short distance away. Diana was clear on communication and very prompt. My only issue was with the ants. We couldn’t find where they were coming from but outside of that it was a great stay.

Diana is The Great Communicator. The cottage is exactly as other reviewers have said. Very clean, spacious, beautiful view and quiet. Easy directions and in close proximity to all that southern MD has to offer and to DC/Baltimore. I would definitely recommend this cottage to others that want a quiet getaway and who love art!. The paintings displayed throughout this home when I inquired, were all done by a pretty famous local artist with national acclaim and who happens to be the owners father in law. Cool.

The property is a great little getaway. It's quiet, with a gorgeous view of farmlands and the river. The cottage is tastefully decorated with thoughtful amenities throughout. The yard and pool is shared with the owners, who may be out with their unleashed, friendly dogs. Overall, it was lovely and we hope to visit again.
