About this property

Cozy cottage on the Chesapeake Bay

Quiet peaceful home by the Chesapeake Bay. Wooded area with Loblolly pines and oak trees. Beautiful walking areas. Bird watchers dream...Bald eagles, Osprey, bluebirds, martins, buntings, woodpeckers, swans, geese, ducks, and migratory birds. Incredible views of the Chesapeake Bay at the mouth of the Pianktank.

Wake up to the sun rising along the bay and relax watching the sunset on the bay. Can go fishing off the dock. A small grill is available for cooking near the picnic table. The area is full of mariner history back to Captain John Smith visiting Gywn's Island. The charming area still thrives from oysters and crab watermen. Water activities nearby. Be sure not to miss the local markets and seafood festivals

Fully equipped kitchen, 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms.

The house is not fancy but is clean, comfortable and wonderful! The view - waterfront is amazing! We spent most of our time on the dock, reading, bird watching (there is an osprey nest right there and was so much fun to watch), happy hour, etc.! The sunrises and sunsets were incredible! You can see both from the dock! We had good late lunches on Gwens Island, in Mathews, and in Deltaville! Ate some great raw oysters!! Wish I could live here!!!

Enjoyed a relaxing anniversary weekend. Did some window shopping in Kilmarnock and enjoyed great seafood at a number of area spots. The house was a comfortable home base for our excursions and a great place to watch the wind/rain on a lazy Sunday afternoon.

Great Stay!

Second time we’ve stayed. My niece has stayed here before, too. Thoroughly enjoyed our time here, even though we spent most of it away from the house with family nearby. We did get to see the spectacular sunset one night though. It was amazing!

About the host

Hosted by Glenda L Siegrist

Host profile image
Glenda and her husband Loren have spent the last 25 years working internationally, with most of their time in East and North Africa, Russia, Romania, and Ecuador. They have four adult daughters who all grew up overseas. Glenda is a Nurse Practitioner and Loren owns a small fair trade vanilla business using vanilla from small-scale farmers in the Amazon. They both love traveling, hiking, and camping. Loren remodeled the bay house and built all the kitchen cabinets and door trim out of cherry wood.

Why they chose this property

We love this property due to the closeness to the water and the woods behind the house. Provides us with a lovely place to relax after a busy week.

What makes this property unique

You'll understand why we love it so much when you wake up and see the beautiful views of the water. Or when you are watching a storm cross through the bay ...it is beautiful to see the sky colors change from all shades of blues and greys.
