The home is clean, comfortable, and has a gorgeous outdoor living space right on the water. We even had my son's wedding day party prep photos taken here. We would definitely stay here again.
We just finished a great three day stay at this property. The place was spotless and the location to the towns of the eastern shore was perfect. Wonderful to look out and see the river lazily roll by. The
Steven was accommodating and very nice, and the location is stunning. The beds are comfortable, the decor is on point and we had everything we needed for our visiting friends. Thank you, Steven!
This place is a gem. The lake view is fantastic and the house had everything we needed. Would recommend staying here if you want a nice peaceful getaway. Steven was a great and accommodating host.
A very nice house, right on the Choptank River. Everything was very clean and well stocked. The beds were very comfortable. Easy access to Easton and St. Michaels. Would love to stay at the property again in the future!
The house was very clean, and we appreciated the stocked pantry with paper towels, kitchen supplies and spices. Although we didn't have children with us, the house is child-friendly with cute kids' games and water toys. The beds are very comfortable, and the owner is responsive and helpful. We appreciated the access to the kayak during our stay. The checkout process was easy and reasonable. Would definitely recommend staying at this property.
We enjoyed this beautiful river home over the weekend with our adult children and their spouses as we were attending a wedding in Easton. It was about a 20 minute ride through cornfields and Eastern Shore countryside. The house was clean and well appointed. We enjoyed the peaceful Choptank River. We would definitely like to stay again
Our family had a great vacation on the choptank! House was very clean and nicely decorated. Beds were very comfortable and kitchen had all we needed. Saw some beautiful sunsets and had a great time on the river. Thank you!!
I felt so relaxed here. This place is a birder's paradise. Every morning i would wake up to an Osprey in a tree in the backyard. It is a very quiet area. I would definitely come back.
Our stay at the river house was great! Although we didn’t spend a lot of time on the river, the house was fantastic-very clean, comfortable and provided a gorgeous view of the Choptank. The neighborhood was very quiet! Steven was very prompt in returning my messages. We hope to come back soon!
This was our second stay at the River House and it was great. Everything was as listed and expected. We took day trips to Assateague Island, Annapolis and St. Michaels. Our boys loved being able to fish in the backyard as well as at the wharf one house over. It is a very peaceful and quiet neighborhood with beautiful views. The owner is very responsive and everything from check-in to check-out went smoothly.
The stay here was just how I envisioned. The home was beautiful, clean and peaceful. It was a little chilly during the stay so we couldn’t experience any water activities but that didn’t stop the fun by a long shot. My husband was able to fish as much as he wanted with no interruptions and he caught a nice amount of fish also. 10/10 definitely recommend this home for a nice relaxing weekend. And the host was super helpful and super nice.
My group and I chose this house as a retreat. It was a perfect place for rest, reconnection, and relaxation. This house was very clean, including the linens. Beds were comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked, and there was even a spice cabinet to use. We used the kayak and the outdoor firepit which was a lovely addition to the weekend. We had two issues: lack of an outdoor trashcan which according to the property manager is supposed to be resolved and a wonky bathroom door that hung sideways and didn't shut which made it awkward for people using the bathroom. Thank goodness we were close friends. Fortunately, these didn't interfere with our enjoyment of the property and the weekend.
This property is exactly the same as the photos and it is in a beautiful, quiet location. Each morning you wake up to the view of the Choptank River and various birds. The house has a large yard as well as a small tidal beach, which our grandson loved, even in winter. Communication with the owner was prompt and the self-entry makes it very convenient. The house was extremely clean and well stocked. Every detail has been thought through as well as lovely decorations. The house is spacious and the internet works well. Everything you would need can be found in the town of Easton and St Michaels is a charming historical town. We visited Blackwater Reserve as well as Annapolis. Our Christmas vacation was a great balance between exploring the area and relaxation. Thank you Steven for opening up this wonderful home for others to enjoy.
