About this property

Wonderful large family home on Harris Creek.

With 6 bedrooms and 3 full bathrooms (including master bedroom suite), this house easily sleeps 12. Broad views of the water, 250 foot pier, in ground pool and large 2.5 acre expanse of lawn make this home an amazing retreat.

Hang out by the pool, explore with the 4 complimentary kayaks, or crab and fish in the tranquil Waterhole Cove where birds and other wildlife abound. You can also bring your power/sail boat and dock it at the pier, which has full electric and water at the end as well as a fish-cleaning table with water at the shoreline. You won't run out of things to do.

Located just 10 minutes between St. Michael's and Tilghman Island, off-site activities also abound. There are great restaurants nearby, including the Lowe's Wharf restaurant and bar within walking distance - a great place to go for dinner or a drink and watch the sun set over the bay.

The living room and most bedrooms have large flatscreen TVs with cable, streaming video, blu-ray dvd players, etc., and high-speed WiFi throughout the house. Optional: Sheets and Towels provided for an additional $300.

The pool is open from Memorial Day through Labor Day, with some flexibility for 2-3 weeks on either end. Also, please note the pool is not heated.

Property is licensed for short-term rental through Talbot County and our License No. ST-779-VOG2018.

Perfect stay for all ages!

We were a group of 8, ages 4-77 — home accommodated us all with wonderful gathering areas, gorgeous views, plenty to do. We enjoyed crabbing, swimming, sitting, marshmallow roasting, meals, kayaking, games and much more — house is well equipped, comfortable, easy. Jennifer was patient in responding to early questions. Altogether, a great place for an extended family gathering.

Wonderfully comfortable home - we enjoyed our stay very much!

What an incredible property! Our party of 12 (5 adults, 4 teens, 3 kids) enjoyed the pool, kayaks, fire pit, TVs, lawn, lake, and crabbing very much! Everything is clearly labeled and user-friendly, plenty of dishes and cooking supplies. We woke early enough for sunrise one morning, and it was breath-taking. Thank you to Jennifer and your husband for hosting such a beautiful place! Highly recommended.

Relaxing Vacation

House was as stated— large to have spaces for everyone. We crabbed off the dock, took the canoes out, had S’mores at the fire, had card games on the big dining table and yummy meals too.. close to shopping and grocery store. Kitchen was labeled and had everything to cook & serve big meals. We had a great, relaxing time. Thank you Jennifer for the use of your home!

Just perfect for kids!

Wow, what an intelligently planned and beautifully maintained property. Pretty much everything you need is there, logically placed and clearly labeled. So many activities for kids that they didn't even notice until the last day that we'd "forgotten" the iPads.... There was really no need to go anywhere but the grocery store. Very friendly and responsive owners. A real gem.

Sherwood retreat

Jennifer, We had a great time at the house with family and the grand kids, swimming and crabbing, plenty of crabbing. We even got to watch the baby ospreys learn to fly, the house, is in a great secluded location. Thanks for hosting us! We hope to return next year. Jeff and Patty

Crabs, Smoors and Challenges handled

Even nicer and larger than the pictures portray. Multi-level living with multiple family rooms was ideal for our family with three sons and their wives and children. The outside area with pool, fire pit with Smoors and dock also meant that not much time was spent in the house. The only challenge we had was the washer machine started to leak in the middle of our stay and within 24 hours didn't work at all. I contacted the owner who not only immediately sent over a repair person but upon hearing of the issues immediately replaced the washer with a brand new state of the art washer, all within 24 hours. I also had several other questions which I texted to Jennifer and all were immediately and thoughtfully answered. I travel a lot and this service was far above any I had experienced before. I could not recommend this location or these owners more highly. If there were 10 stars available they would earn all 10.

Great Time on the Bay

Jennifer's house was just as described, if not better. The weather was rainy and cold the weekend we were there but we still had a great time. The dock, pool and huge yard provided plenty of activities for us all.

Exceeded our expectations

The house and it’s property is so good it’s very hard to leave even though the surrounding communities in Sherwood and St Michael’s offered a lot for our group of adults and young children to explore. The details for guests including labeled light switches and kitchen cabinets goes to show you how well guests are taken care of at this house. A+ propert without a doubt

The view is spectacular and peaceful.

It was a 50 minute ride to Cambridge for the Ironman race, but the getaway retreat was worth every second of those car rides. It was a terrific Vrbo for our family with lasting good memories. Thanks.

Perfect House for Us

We had family from various states gathered for my daughter's wedding at Perry Cabin, and this house served us perfectly. We loved the combination of 6 bedrooms and generous social spaces. We made good use of the wide yard, fire pit, dock, kayaks, and screened veranda, and we enjoyed the sounds of water fowl against the quiet and peaceful background of Waterhole Cove. The perfect retreat for us!

The perfect place for water lovers

If you are into water activities this place is for you. The house is very close to the water for easy access. The dock is large with plenty of room for your boat and still have plenty of room for fishing and crabbing. The water depth at the end of the dock was at least 4.5 feet at low tide. I had lots of traps for the kids to crab with and boy did they catch crabs and have a ball. They had topless traps from one end of the dock to the other and were out there checking them from morning to dark. I think I went through about 20 pounds of chicken necks. The pool was nice and clean for that afternoon cool down. The younger grandkids spent most of their time in the pool. The house itself was great , it had a nice open living area. We put the kids in the lower level bedrooms where a nice big family room is located. They had their own flat screen to watch and games to play. Got them out of our hair for a nice break once in a while. The house was nice and clean and everything worked as it should. Did not have any problems at all with the property. We have rented several properties on the bay and this one by far was our favorite. Hopefully we can get our kids and grandkids together again for next year. We will definitely be going back to this place if the stars align and the owners will have us again. Thanks Jenifer, the Smith's and Beiler's

This was our first trip to the St. Michael's area. We had such a wonderful time, we can't wait to go back again! The house was perfect, lots of room for everyone and the view was amazing. Even though it was only Memorial Day weekend, we were still able to enjoy the pool. The whole process was perfect! Thank you for a great weekend with our family!

Perfect long weekend with friends

Our recent stay was perfect on all counts. The proximity to water, views, wild birds and nature was breathtaking. The rental experience was accommodating and smooth from start to finish. Six bedrooms allowed privacy and naps. Appliances were modern and the decor was charming. Many gathering places allowed our group of friends to socialize and relax. Highly recommend.

Great view and accommodations

The house was perfect and offered a great view. Well kept and very comfortable with plenty of room for our party. The area has some really good restaurants (Chesapeake Landing and Carpenter Street Saloon) and plenty of activities between Tilghman and St. Micheals. I would definitely recommend this house to friends and family visiting the area. Owners were very responsive, helpful and easy to work with. It's in a good location with a private drive and the perfect secluded setting which was considerably better than any hotel would have been in the area. Overall a great place to stay and we hope to be back.

Outstanding House on a Breathtaking Waterfront Property!

We had a terrific time here and definitely recommend this house to anyone interested in a very well-kept and clean house in a very private setting having tremendous water views, and activities to suit all interests! We enjoyed great crabbing and fishing from the very long pier, swimming both off the pier and in the pool, kayaking to see lots of interesting places and wildlife, very relaxing evenings around the large fire pit overlooking the water, and list goes on! The location of the house also lends itself to nice bike rides on flat roads with VERY wide shoulders used as biking lanes into St. Michael's or to Tilghman Island, depending on what you're in the mood for. I can't say enough good things about this place, and highly recommend it!
