Relaxing stay at the Chesapeake Bay

Blissful Retreat is a wonderfully appointed, lovely cottage just outside of Rock Hall. The host anticipated our every need. We spent time exploring the area; reading on the front porch facing the water; and birding right outside the cottage. We hope to return.

The name says it all. We made full use of the front porch for morning coffee and evening glasses of wine. We biked all over town to the different marinas (Definitely go to the Shanty!). We each took a turn in the glorious tub and steam shower. We saw deer, rabbits, herons, osprey, frogs, salamanders, turtles and many many birds. We fell in love with the neighboring town of Chestertown and it's farmer's market. It was only a three day stay but I feel as if I've been away for weeks!
Sunset at the end of the street
Another sunset, can you really have enough?
We biked every day and then enjoyed the shady porch on our return.

Peaceful, idyllic, luxurious

Charming house with privacy and woods/water views. Very relaxing from first arrival and the house is beautifully appointed and comfortable. Tiny kitchen but room in the freezer and oven for the 12" pizza we happened to bring. Pool table was an unusual and welcome addition! All the luxury comforts including robes and slippers in the spa bathroom. Kind hosts have lots of info about local places, which was especially useful for weekday visits, Highly recommend and will return!

Amazing stay

Blissful Retreat is one of the most tranquil places we know of. The property is so quiet, the water view is amazing & then the wildlife is spectacular! We saw at least 6 eagles soaring overhead right from the front yard. Just breathtaking! And the cottage is so beautiful. Barbi thinks of everything to enhance your stay. Looking forward to our next visit

Blissful Indeed

The blissful retreat had so many wonderful little extra details that just made the stay so relaxing and enjoyable. It was a very relaxing and refreshing stay unplugged. We will definitely return to this property. If I had ti change one thing it would be that the windows would have shades or darker curtains. I struggle to sleep if it is not dark and neither bedroom was. That said though, w no curtains, the view is beautiful.

The property is just lovely, quiet and peaceful, and the cottage was charming. Kind of remote, several miles from the small town of Rock Hall, which we appreciated. The views from the cottage were also wonderful. It has a kitchenette, so you can't do much cooking, but that was fine with us. It was a fully stocked kitchenette nonetheless. We ate at the Osprey Inn, just 3 miles away, which was a very nice restaurant. We drove into Chestertown, a half hour way, and that was a fun outing. We could see a bald eagle sitting atop a pole just across the road from the house!

We had a wonderful stay at the Blissful Retreat. The home is absolutely beautiful, situated in a quaint and peaceful location. It was exceptionally clean and tastefully decorated, creating a welcoming and comfortable atmosphere.The only clarification I would offer is regarding the kitchen amenities. While the listing notes a “kitchen,” the property actually has a kitchenette. The space is well-suited for preparing light meals, but it is not equipped for more extensive cooking. Be sure to click on "details" to ensure the kitchen amenities are conducive to your stay. But overall, our experience was excellent, and we thoroughly enjoyed our time in Rock Hall.

The accommodations exceeded our expectations. Clean, roomy, beautifully decorated and the beds were great. Lots of great little details from robes and a steam shower to little snacks and a coffee and tea selection that was really nice.

Weekend at the Dollhouse

Dollhouse paradise... Private,Quiet, Tranquil, ...Simply Blissful!!!Highly Recommend! Location is convenient to local grocery store and quaint town. The Flying Decoy restaurant is a must! So many added personal touches including personalized Blissful umbrellas which came in handy! The view from the loft upstairs bedroom is serene. Love love love the layout and pool table. We also loved walking in to Yacht Rock Radio playing in the background. We plan to come back for another getaway again
