The property is a great little getaway. It's quiet, with a gorgeous view of farmlands and the river. The cottage is tastefully decorated with thoughtful amenities throughout. The yard and pool is shared with the owners, who may be out with their unleashed, friendly dogs. Overall, it was lovely and we hope to visit again.

We enjoyed our stay in this cozy cottage. It was well equipped with essentials and Dee was quick to respond if we had questions. Other than having to wait to check in because it was not ready, we had no problems and felt welcomed and quite comfortable. Planning to return soon!

Overnight for Wedding

This was a lovely property with plenty of amenities for a longer stay. It was clean and had plenty of room for our party. We had a last minute addition and it worked out perfectly. Only wish the listing didn't say Owings in the address because we thought we were closer to the event we were attending. The extra 10 min. didn't hurt. I would recommend this quiet, pretty location.

Weekend Stay

It was a pleasant nice environment in surroundings. The house is very nice, cute & clean. However, it is very uncomfortable, seems like someone is watching us every time we come in & out of the house. Not a good thing.

Great Vacation Base

We used this wonderful cottage as our vacation base to explore DC from. While we did have a daily commute into the city, it was worth it to have the amenities of home when we got back. Set in a beautiful rural area, the cottage is quiet and offers access to a personal pool which my children loved. In addition, the host was very friendly and helpful and chatted with us a few times. She had tons of extras left out around the cottage to make it warm and inviting. If we choose to head back to Maryland this would easily be my first choice to book again.
