Amazing Stay

Such a beautiful property! It’s clean, peaceful, and while a little ways from town, really not that bad. We enjoyed the house a lot, caught crabs off the dock, and the host was easy to reach and super helpful. Great place to go to unplug and enjoy nature.

I can't say enough how We really enjoyed our time at this location!!, the listing and pictures don't do justice how nice everything was, from the communicative host to the clean house, the peaceful location, the games, furnishings, the activities on the water and plenty of acres to explore. Definitely recommend this listing to anyone and we hope to be back!

Tranquility

We wanted a peaceful, quiet, secluded property for a last minute getaway and Thunderstick Farm was all that and more. This lovely home has a large bank of windows in the family room overlooking the water. Great for relaxation and bird watchinge. We spent most of our time on the water in the provided canoe and kayaks. The hosts are extremely easy to reach and very helpful. Hope to go again with our entire family

A Perfect Vacation

Every aspect of this property shows the extensive thought and care the owners put into this "home" as voiced in its description. From the completely stocked "gourmet" kitchen, fully appointed living spaces and tiled baths, everything was in one word, "perfect". Our family enjoyed both the indoors and outdoors. Truly a class act. Owners were immediately responsive to our inquiries and we look forward to future stays at the Thunderstick Farm.

Family Time

Amazing property! Kitchen is so well appointed and well stocked with cleaning supplies, paper towels, cleaning products. Inside and out a wonderful place for a large or small gathering. Our family was on the go all day and night inside and out. Everything you would need for the outdoor enthusiast or anyone who just wants to unwind and rest, this property will suit. Bike's, canoes and all the other games inside and out will provide hours and hours of fun and family connection.

A True Eastern Shore Experience!

Our time at Thunderstick was a week of bliss! We are two couples and thoroughly enjoyed the set up of the house, as it includes two master bedrooms which gave us plenty of space and privacy. In addition to kayaking almost every day from Saint Johns Creek, we greatly enjoyed the sipping room, where we watched Eagles, ospreys, and herons hunting and traveling along the creek. The house is incredibly clean, well stocked, and inviting. While there were only four of us, the house could easily accommodate many more. Be ready for solitude, which is exactly what we were seeking. We appreciate the opportunity to spend time on this lovely property!

Wonderful Retreat

Beautiful home with all the amenities! Our family gathered together at this home from three states to enjoy quality time together! When we arrived, we immediately realized that this home was perfect. It had 5 large bedrooms, multiple bathrooms, a BEAUTIFUL view, large windows that provided viewing access for everyone, bikes, kayaks, and many games for all ages. The home was VERY clean and we were happy to find towels in each room and other stocked items - like paper towels and toilet paper, etc. The large kitchen and main level allowed us to eat together and do puzzles on the large table. This home truly met all of our needs across our multiple families and we are already hoping to gather there again in the future!

Beautiful home

The house is beautiful and well-maintained. Hosts have thought of everything - outdoor games and spaces, canoes and kayaks, bikes, fire pit, indoor bar and beautiful kitchen with lots of space to spread out. The view from the back of the house is fantastic. Lots of windows and natural light. You are isolated and in the middle of nature with all the creature comforts you need. You will drive 20-30 minutes back to town but it suited our family well. We had a minor issue with an A/C unit and it was handled quickly. Hosts were very responsive to all questions. We enjoyed this home and would return!

Luxurious and Secluded Refuge

This is a truly special place. The house is spacious, bright, and extremely comfortable. The views from just about every spot bring nature to you. We were in want of nothing, but for another week to enjoy. The property itself is a real treat as well. What a luxury to paddle out, or walk, or bike ride, almost endlessly, and still be in seclusion. No sirens or car sound systems for one full week! Just birds, and frogs, and cicadas, and the laughter that came from enjoying such a place. I could ramble on, and add a lot of funny stories too, but I highly recommend that you visit, and create your own. It was a privilege to stay, and many thanks to the wonderful hosts.

Peaceful and beautiful

Home is beautiful, location is quiet and peaceful. It is really a beautiful and comfortable home. Lots of room to be private or for a group to be together. Only complaint, there are NO blinds/curtains on one side of the house, making sleep difficult and the light at the dining room table made it impossible to sit and eat with the sun in our eyes. The beds were comfortable, the grounds are well cared for, but there is no outside space to really lounge and enjoy. The dock is beautiful, sunsets were amazing to watch from there. Had fun with the canoe and the kayaks. No crab pots, but we brought fishing rods and enjoyed fishing. Saw a ground hog, wild turkeys, lots of eagles and white cranes. We never did see a dear.

Thank you for the five-star review Carron. I am glad your group had a good time. I do want to respond to your concerns to be clear for future renters. It is correct we do not have blinds on the riverside of the home, this is to allow full view of the river and property. The windows on the 1st floor are ceiling to floor for maximum viewing of the river and wildlife. There is no one around to be able to see in the windows. Looking outside from the windows without blinds there is only river, marsh, and woods to see, and the sun comes up on the opposite side of the house so it's not in full sun in the morning. Both of the rooms without shades have an on-suite with no windows for changing. One of my favorite things about the house is waking up to that view from our bedroom. There are a total of 4 bedrooms on the second floor, two of which have blinds facing the front of the house and no windows to the back, so they are completely private and great for people who like to sleep in. As for no outside space for lounging? We have a fire pit area with six large adirondack chairs and eight more plastic adirondack chairs for larger crews. Two full-sized picnic tables that seat at least 12, all in the back on the riverside. Out front there is a covered porch 36 by 15 with six rocking chairs. The property is 158 acres with two acres in lawn around the house and over 800 yards of waterfront. The dock you mentioned has two more adirondack chairs on it. I'm glad you were able to see a lot of wildlife and sorry no deer! We hope to have you back in the future.

Beautiful secluded and relaxing

This newly-built home has a lot going for it. Lots of land with water front views and activities. The host provided canoes and kayaks, bikes, and outdoor games. We used the fire pit and lounged “over the water” at the end of a long dock. Renee is a great communicator and answered any questions we had. The area is far afield but interesting with a National Park, a museum honoring Harriet Tubman and the Underground Railway and one very good restaurant. Stop at Walmart on the way and stock up. Once you are there you won’t want to head back into Cambridge! The only downsides - manageable insects and a nearby neighbor with a rifle shooting range (and the desire to use up endless ammo until 1 a.m.). Overall, we loved it and recommend it for families that want to get away from the crowds (total population [we think] on Taylor’s Island probably <100). Enjoy!

Everything about the house was top class, from theWhat an amazing house! everything about the house and grounds was spotlessly clean. The decor must have come from Saks 5th Ave...gorgeous! All the furniture was crafted with the highest degree of craftmenship to the point of notched wood inside the dresser drawers. The kitchen was beautiful and spacious with the most up-to-date appliances, Overlooking the lake, the view is spectacular, and you can even put out crab pots at the end of the dock.; we caught a few and cooked them - yum! The freshest of crabs! Most of all, Renee and Dave were the most welcoming hostess and host. They were available at a moment's notice and readily responded to any concerns. If you want to get away for a secluded, romantic stay book this Airbnb! It's only a little more than one hour from Ocean City Beach, 20 mins away from the town of Cambridge (which has cute shops and has everything you need.) Dave and Renee are the best!12

East Coast Paradise

This property exceeded our expectations. The house itself has recently been renovated and everything inside was pristine. The layout of the home, decor, and cleanliness were all top notch. The kitchen was fully outfitted with everything we needed to prepare all our meals at home including a big grill outside. We utilized just about all of the activities -- ax throwing, kayaking, hiking, bike riding, cornhole, fishing and crabbing. The property is absolutely beautiful and large and there is plenty of room for the kids to run around and play. The kids especially loved seeing all the wildlife -- tiny frogs, sika deer, turtles, turkeys, ducks, crabs, and fish. Our favorite part of the home was the upstairs sitting room -- we sat there and had coffee in the morning and cocktails in the evening -- it provides the perfect view of the sunset over the water. Lastly, Renee, the host was wonderful. She was so communicative via email and the VRBO app and left a little welcome basket for us upon arrival. While we used this property as a family vacation home, I can see how all types of visitors would love this space including outdoorsman, friends' trips, or family trips with folks of all ages.
