Waterfront Sunsets, Fishing, Boating, and Crabs! Paxs River, Budds Creek MIR.

Blue Crab Cottage welcomes you to the scenic Wicomico River with the ‘best sunsets' in the county. Wake up to water views in front and behind the cottage. Guests enjoy access to the 3 waterfront piers. Tour the 4+ acres and see the multitude of wildlife. Our favorite are the birds, Osprey, herons and eagles abound. Sip your coffee on the front porch relaxing to the sights and sounds of the river.
Budds Creek Maryland International Raceway is 9 miles close! Easy drives open up multiple museums and historic sites showcasing Maryland's rich heritage of our founding Fathers. Saint Clements Island museum is where you can learn about the first landing in St Mary’s, St. Mary's College and historic grounds all showcasing Maryland’s oldest county. Sotterley Historic Mansion, Patuxent River Naval Air Museum, Point Lookout State Park, and our family favorite Solomon’s Island marine museum with lots of hands-on activities for your family. The unique Amish community benefits the local farmers’ markets in the area. Delectable restaurants like the Front Porch, the Rex, T&J Coves (great deal on crab cakes) and Old Towne Pub in Leonardtown, Foxy Fish in Hughesville, and best crab cake around at Scuttlebutts in Cobb Island. Go by boat! You’ll love the ambiance of the many waterfront dining choices in nearby Solomons Island. Lots to do on our grounds, Fishing and crabbing off the piers, Ping pong, practice golf net and putting mat, corn hole, and frisbee golf goals all on large open yard. Guest love dining in our large boat house over looking the water
