This was by far the best vacation we have ever had. We have been to St. Michaels several times and this house was a treasure. Each room was charming and full of history. Being right on the water made it even more magical. The weather was perfect and being able to sit in that beautiful back yard was so relaxing. Cannot wait to get back. Our host was wonderful.

We had a lovely long weekend stay with our family, and greatly enjoyed the gorgeous historical house. The location is perfect: convenient to shops and restaurants and the maritime museum, picturesque, spacious with nooks for reading and relaxing, and near a park where our children could run and throw a football. Tom was a terrific host with bespoke tips for activities and dining. We look forward to coming again someday.

Really nice place for the family reunion! Loved it. If you’ve ever been to St Michael’s, it’s the house on the water that you’ve always wanted to stay in. Lovely!

This house is in the perfect location for a stay in St. Michaels. It is a short walk through a beautiful historic neighborhood to the main street with all its shops and restaurants. And, it is also on the water near the town docks and museum. The home itself, built in 1795, has been carefully restored, you feel like you have taken a trip back in time while still having all the modern conveniences. The host was very polite and responsive. I highly recommend this home and this host!

Lovely, unbeatable location!!

This was our second Easter spent at the Thomas Harrison house and walking in the door felt like coming home again. There is plenty of space inside and out and plenty of cosy nooks. Town is steps away--enjoy shopping and yummy meals. Views of the lake from certain rooms in the house are the icing on th cake. Can't wait for next year!!

Great location! Huge House!

The house was exactly what we needed. It had a great location. The view was incredible and it was just a couple blocks from the main drag. It is an old house; so you need to be gentle, and there were a few cosmetic issues, but other than that, it was great.

Wonderful location.

Very accommodating home, really enjoyed the large kitchen table. Disappointed that neither fireplace was in working order.

Glad you enjoyed the home. Confused by your comment re the fireplaces. There are requirements that must be followed in using fireplace for guest safety and to protect the property.

Lovely home on the harbor in St Michaels. Walking distance to dozens of shops and restaurants but secluded enough to enjoy peace and quiet. Plenty of room for our group of three couples (room to spare!). Host was friendly and easy to contact. Will stay again on our next visit to St. Michaels.

Very historic with a beautiful view of the Marina. Weather was a little too cold to be able to enjoy the grounds but we were able to walks into Town on Saturday. Would definitely recommend the rental.

Glad you enjoyed the 18th and 19th century historic structure and unbeatable location of house. Wish you had contacted me re any cleaning issue so my team could have addressed it. Cleaners are excellent as can be see from comments made in other reviews.

Wedding

We were 8 family members attending a family wedding. The accommodations were perfect … everyone felt very much “at home” and enjoyed staying in a wonderful historic house. The location next to water ,park, restaurants, church, wedding reception were all 5-10 minute walk away …perfect
