Checking out the fishing
Very quiet, very relaxing. Husband did some fishing. I did a lot of sleeping. If you go, make sure you take your own food. There's not a lot of shopping or eating out without driving somewhere. I do suggest eating at the hen house, it's worth the drive.

Slice of Heaven
The perfect getaway that our family needed. Time to unwind, detach from the busyness of every day life... and just be together with each other and nature. Our boys played in the river, made bows and arrows, so many hikes, it was amazing. The cabin was so cozy and just perfect. We were truly grateful to stay here.

Savage River - Brownie Cabin
We go to Savage River to Fly Fish and hang out. The location of this cabin "Brownie Cabin" is awesome. Cabin for three persons is spacious. The location to Fly Fishing areas is very good. There is even a fly shop right there. Can't wait to return again.

Disappointed Stay. NOT Worth the Money we Paid!
Disappointed Stay at the Cottage
Our stay at the Cottage was a major disappointment and not worth the money we paid. It was difficult to find the location, even with GPS, and the house was not properly updated nor cleaned. The abundance of spiderwebs throughout the house was concerning, and we found shorts near the bed in the downstairs room. Additionally, the pillows upstairs had an unpleasant smell indicating a lack of cleaning. While we understood that there was no internet access inside the house, we were disappointed to discover that the "Wi-Fi" connection advertised on the deck could not be established. When we contacted Mike, the point of contact for our stay, he was unhelpful and even rude in his response. Mike’s Response was “There is no wifi in the house. The MacDonald's in Westernport has wifi”. Despite paying for two nights, we decided to leave the next day because of the unsatisfactory conditions. We left the property as clean as possible and informed Mike of our decision, but he never responded or inquired about the reason for our departure. As frequent VRBO users, this was our first time leaving a property due to such poor conditions. We paid for two nights, and it was not worth the price. Mike's unprofessionalism was further confirmed when he failed to respond to our text message. Overall, our experience at this property was unpleasant and not what we were expecting.

About the host

Hosted by Mike Evans

Host profile image
After retiring from business in the D.C. area, I wanted a small business that allowed me to spend time doing what I love to do most, Fish! My wife, Suzanne, and I have eight grown children, and seven grandchildren, and with this property, I have room for them to visit!

Why they chose this property

There is no prettier place than the Savage River, all of the seasons offer their own special brand of beauty. The fishing is so good, I have only to walk out the back door to find it!

What makes this property unique

Fishing is number one, but there are hiking trails in the adjoining Savage River Forest, kayaking on the river during special releases, but most of the time, the Savage River Lake is calm and easy for any level of boater (non-motorized only). Biking on the Savage River Road is very popular with those who enjoy hill-climbing, not for the feint of heart!
