About this property
Nancy’s Touch, A Waterfront Paradise!
Nancy’s Touch, named after the amazing woman who developed and maintained the beautiful gardens, is situated in one of the best locations available on the northern end of the Chesapeake. From sunrise to sunset, the view of the juncture of the three rivers (the North East, Susquehanna, and Elk) that merge to create the Chesapeake Bay commands your attention. Soaring osprey, bald eagles, great blue heron and other waterfowl delight as well.

This is such a beautiful home and property. It was a perfect spot for family games surrounded by an incredible view. The home is so well stocked, and the hosts are wonderful to interact with. We can’t wait to return in the summer when we can access the water!
We had a wonderful time at the house! The gardens and property location were amazing and in such a quiet location. The only sounds we heard were the water and local birds. It was quite relaxing. The outside weather was hotter than expected, but we enjoyed the lovely views of the water from inside the house. I had great communication with the hosts. They were extremely polite and quick in responding. The house was stocked full of amenities and lovely personal touches. It was clean and we felt welcome. The fenced yard was great and convenient for the dog at night when we didn't want to do a full walk.
The property was nicely appointed with very comfortable rooms and a wonderful ambiance. The kitchen was well stocked, which made it a pleasure to cook. All around it was a very lovely respite from the daily responsibilities of “real life”.
This was our 2nd stay at Nancy's Touch and it was perfect. Although the weather wasn't great there are so many things to do at the house and in the area. The house has everything you need and is so comfortable and the views are amazing!! Already looking to book next year!
The cottage is beautiful, full of unique charm and character. It is clean, welcoming and very comfortable. The waterfront setting is amazing. You wouldn’t want to leave!
Fully stocked. Clean. Well maintained B-U-TEE-FULL property. Great, quite, private location close to anything you may need. The views are amazing. The hosts are great...
This is the third time our family has stayed at Nancy's touch & as usual is was a great trip. We did a lot of relaxing, playing games, & kayaking. We love the house, property, & view. We also visited the town of North East a few times.
This was the second time that we had a family vacation at Nancy’s Touch. We really like the house and location. The view is great. It's a great place to relax & watch the wildlife(ospreys, Bald eagles, herons, etc) and do some paddling.
We have a lovely stay at the very last week of October. The home was very comfortable and was spectacularly located on the water in a beautiful area. Top notch hosts!
Nancy’s Touch is our home away from home when traveling to the area to visit with family. Everything you could need to enjoy some downtime admiring the water views and basking in the nature that surrounds this lovely home. The owners are wonderful and quickly responsive to any questions/needs that may arise.
Would highly recommend!!
Our stay at this VRBO was exceeding. Very cozy, quiet and relaxing. The view was breathtaking and to see all the wildlife was so exciting. The owners provided everything we needed. It certainly was a great stay. Hope to come back another time.
We had a wonderful relaxing vacation at Nancy's Touch. The house is equipped with everything you need for a comfortable stay and the grounds and gardens are beautiful and private. It's also a "wildlife wonderland" which we loved! Thank you for sharing this very special property and equipping it so nicely!
Stunning property. Always a pleasure to come here and be surrounded by wildlife, plants, flowers, and of course the water. Very relaxing. High speed internet is a huge bonus!
Highly recommend A++
Nancy's Touch was just as wonderful on this trip as it has been in the past. The perfect spot to relax and catch up with friends. It could not have been better - and we were so pleased to find that the access to the water had been renovated.
We have never been on a more relaxing getaway than the times we spend at the beautiful and idyllic Nancy’s Touch. We try to get back there at least once a year, and it is lovely in every season. Our dog Jax loves the freedom of the spacious fenced in yard.

We spent 10 days here, and it was a relaxing and restful vacation. We visited nearby towns but also were happy to just stay and enjoy sitting by the bay or watching from the river room. The weather was not great - dreary and no sunsets - but we still had a good time! The house had everything we needed and just felt like home. Would definitely return and hope for sunshine!
Nancy’s Touch is the best accommodation in Cecil County. We have stayed at many other places over the years and nothing compares to this one. The home and garden are gorgeous, the area is so private and serene with amazing water views.
This house and property is like a home away from home. Everything you could possibly need is provided. My husband and I stay four times a year and love it more with each visit.
The house is as exactly as seen in the pictures. Right on the water with beautiful views and even late in the fall the gardens were awesome. The house had everything we needed to have a family get together and we’re able to have my 90 year old parents come and enjoy it as well. The fenced yard for the dogs to play in was a very nice treat.
We had another wonderful stay during our third visit to this lovely property. We took our teenage niece and nephew this time, and had fun playing games, paddle boarding and crabbing. As always, the dogs loved swimming every day and playing in their own private, fenced yard. We completed our visit with a takeout seafood dinner from Woody’s. We can’t wait to come back again next year!
My family of 4 plus my sister and brother in law made this our home base for UD drop off, coming from IL. It was the most perfect place to relax and enjoy the Chesapeake Bay. So spacious and had everything we could possibly need. North East is a cute town for shopping and eating. Would love to stay again. Thank you!
Just stayed here for an extended birthday weekend with family. Our first trip to this area and already looking forward to returning. What a beautiful property and charming cottage! Betsy was terrific to work with. Right on the water with beautiful sunset views, large fenced area and gated deck for our pups. Well stocked kitchen, and other amenities you’d need. Very close to the town of North East, Charlestown, and hiking at Elk Neck State Park. Quite a few bald eagle sightings!
