Spacious and Private

Writing this review is conflicting because I want to keep this place a secret. Our family of 9 adults enjoyed our stay Immensely! This historic home did not disappoint. The lovely tree-lined drive to the home was reminiscent of southern/plantation-like charm. The large common areas and private bed/baths gave everyone ample space to congregate and peaceful rest when so desired. The house was very clean and well stocked with toilet paper. Other basics included paper towels, dish detergent, trash bags and kitchen seasonings. The beds were comfortable and linens were hotel quality. Modern kitchen amenities made cooking easy, and the large kitchen allowed for multiple chefs. The coffee nook was a treat with options for K cups and fresh brew with filters provided. The pool was refreshing and there was plenty of patio furniture for the group. The river was peaceful for kayaking and fishing . We so enjoyed wildlife like herron, deer (including the young ones prancing around), fox, and the oriole birds who fed off the vine outside the kitchen. The magnolia trees were spectacular! There was plenty of shade and sun. We got crabs from Gay’s and were thankful for the mallets in the kitchen. We ate at Doc’s Sunset Grill. Food was fresh and good. Highly recommend the crab and avocado gazpacho. We played pickle-ball every day at Causeway park a few miles toward town (six portable nets on the courts along with several tennis nets.) We will return! Thank you, Jennifer!

Memorable Memorial Weekend

The Inn is located on a tributary to the Chesapeake, offering tranquil and picturesque views that allow you to disconnect from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. The kitchen had ample space for our family to engage in communal food preparation that also featured a comfortable dining area. One evening we spent enjoying steamed crabs at the outdoor picnic table. A favorite activity was exploring the waterways on the tandem kayak. Kayaking permitted a nice tour of the magnificent houses all along the coast. We ventured into Oxford a couple of times, including having an excellent dining experience at Doc's Sunset Grille in Oxford. The food was delicious, and the ambiance was welcoming and true to the restaurant’s name. We also indulged our sweet tooth at the Scottish Highland Creamery - their ice cream was rich and flavorful, a treat we highly recommend. Shoppers in our group enjoyed exploring the Treasure Chest. The golfers in our group were impressed by River Marsh, which was just a short distance away in Cambridge, MD. The course was beautiful and well-kept, making for a wonderful afternoon of play. Throughout our stay, we appreciated the attentiveness and quick response from Jennifer, who was always ready to assist with any inquiries we had. Our stay at the Combsberry Inn was relaxing and thoroughly enjoyable. We wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone seeking a peaceful getaway filled with beautiful landscapes and comfortable lodging.
