Quiet Cottage

This cottage is very lovely. Clean and so quiet. The setting is beautiful. Host provides so many things. I just had to bring my clothes, makeup and hairbrush. She provided all the rest. This is my 3rd time back. I will go back again. Host was very responsive when an issue came up. Thank you for such a lovely experience.

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!

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.

Nous avons passé un excellent séjour. La maison est confortable, et très bien équipée. La piscine a été très agréable, notamment en fin de journée à nos retours de visites. L'environnement est très calme. La situation de la maison nous a permis de visiter Baltimore, Annapolis et Washington DC. Nous avons facilement communiqué avec Diana avec la messagerie d'Abritel.

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.

Cute little cottage

while renovating our home, my husband and I had to leave while repairs were being made. The cottage was very clean and neat and stocked well with toiletries. The location was very easy to find. There was a very nice swimming pool on the property and play area for small kids. I highly recommend this property for an enjoyable vacation.

New grandson getaway

Monday to Monday, last week of April 2024. Commuted to Waldorf daily to visit family. Loved the peace and quiet. Loved it was close enough to Harris Teeter and other major stores to get everything I personally needed easily. Beautiful view of the river! Diana was friendly, helpful but never intrusive. Great that the owners are on property. Convenient, easy highway drives to nearby sites but secluded enough to feel very safe and private.

Our stay was beautiful. Small house but perfect for our overnight stay. Immaculately clean. Though we did not need anything during our stay, the home is on owner’s property and she was very nice in our brief interaction. Check out procedure was easy. Would absolutely book again.
