About this property

Fossil Hunting. Beaches. Hiking nearby. 10 minutes to Solomons Island Boardwalk.

Experience a piece of Southern Maryland history. Bancroft Manor was among the first homes along St Leonard Creek. Every square foot of this house was renovated in 2019 - but the unique Tidewater Maryland architecture remains.

The Manor resides on 3 secluded acres. Close to everything Southern Maryland has to offer, yet feels a million miles away.

Your suite is appointed in absolute luxury! Not a detail has been missed in making this your new favorite get away spot.

The kitchen has a full fridge, cooktop and large single basin sink. As well as everything you need to prepare and enjoy a meal. The kitchen also has a microwave, coffee maker and dishwasher.

You'll find the basic pantry staples like salt and pepper, spices, sugar/sugar substitute packets and creamer for coffee.

Your living room is appointed with a 32 inch smart TV. Login to your Netflix, Hulu or Prime TV account and watch your favorite movie or show.

WIFI is available.

Your bedroom has a comfortable plush queen bed that you may never want to leave. But the idea of sitting out on your terrace with a cup of coffee listening to the birds and taking in the view may just be what you need to get you up in the morning. You'll have an nightstand and lamp on your bedside table and easy reach for device charging.

The bathroom has a tiled stand up shower and large pedestal sink. You'll also find premium shampoo, conditioner and body wash should you need it. Space in the bathroom has been maximized and designed with clean lines and ease-of-use in mind, so everything you need is within reach.

Enjoy your evenings on the terrace with a glass of wine. Grab some local meat/produce just up the road at The Chesapeake's Bounty and fire up the grill. Or take a 5 minute stroll just down the road for a drink and dinner on the water at Vera's Beach Club.

While this property is not directly on the water, the water is all around us and our property has seasonal views. You can take a 5 minute walk down the road to Vera's and be right on the water for lunch/dinner and water fun.

Whatever you're looking for in a relaxing get away - you'll find it here in Solomons/Lusby! Launch a kayak, stand up paddle board, ride a jet ski, take a hike...or bring a book and just relax and enjoy a picnic on the property.

Solomons boardwalk is a 10-15 minute drive down the road with the best seafood this area has to offer. Drive (or take an Uber if you want throw back a couple cocktails) to Solomons and enjoy the best sunset you've seen in a long time.

We are incredibly grateful to be your hosts. Please reach out with any questions.

Wonderful Place to Stay!

The place is exactly as described. It's cozy and well appointed. Everything you could possibly need to make yourself comfortable is there. Julie's recommendations of places to visit and dine are on point as well. I would love to stay there again if I ever find myself back in the east coast. Thank you for such a lovely stay!

Quiet place to relax

I have stayed here in October 23 and loved then. I needed to come back to the area for some sad family matter. When i was done for the day with that business i could return to this relaxing space. It is close to so many activities and interesting parks.

Perfect Anniversary Getaway

This property was just as described. The location was secluded and although others were staying there we felt like we had our own private retreat. The space was perfect for a couple and was exactly what we were looking for in terms of having a private, cozy, and romantic getaway for a couple of days. Julie was a great host, she was accommodating, very responsive, and provided great ideas for activities and restaurants. Check-in was seamless. We are hoping to stay here again in the future.

A Little Piece of Heaven

The cozy apartment was perfect for the two of us. Cleanliness, amenities and atmosphere were wonderful. A quiet, peaceful retreat even in the winter. Site easily accessible to local attractions, but felt secluded as well. Host was so responsive to my questions. I would only recommend that a floor lamp be added to the main room to add to the ambiance. DEFINITELY would request this property again for another visit.

Wonderful birthday retreat

This property was just as advertised. It was cozy and had everything we needed for the two of us. Proximity to things-to-do was perfect. The area was quiet (we heard nothing when indoors and very little while outside- just the occasional car or walker). Communication with Julie was ideal! She checked on us via the app, offered suggestions in advance- just wonderful. Thank you Julie for allowing us to stay and we’re looking for reasons to return!

Lovely Getaway in Calvert County

My husband and I needed a break and have a tight budget. Our only objective was to be able to relieve some stress by looking at a large body of water. We picked Julie's place because of the rate and the photos, and we weren't disappointed. It is a lovely suite, quiet, comfortable, and very conveniently located to all the state parks, Solomons, and historical areas. We got to experience the Bay, the Potomac and the Patuxent and felt refreshed. We greatly enjoyed our visit and hope we can return! Thank you, Julie and Jason!

Peaceful and Elegant

My stay at this property was both quiet and comfortable. Beyond all of my expectations. I was close to Solomons and while resting couldn’t have been happier with my accommodations. Best nights sleep in a most decadent bed. Truly a hidden paradise. As night descended, a gorgeous display of perfect light lit my path as a took an evening stroll. I was able to prepare meals with ease. I highly recommend this spot to detach from the hectic pace of the everyday!

Lovely property!

This property was spotlessly clean and appeared just as advertised. Lovely quiet patio with table & chairs and grill. Totally private. Entry so easy with a coded door lock--no key to keep track of. Architecture and decor is a charming mix of modern and antique. Very bright with large windows in living area, pleasant, and relaxing. Note: renters with physical limitations should be capable of managing the gravel path from the parking area, steps up to the patio, and the three steps from inside living area to bedroom/bath.

About the host

Hosted by Julie

Host profile image
Hey, I'm Julie! My husband Jason and I are real estate investors in Southern Maryland. We are just two Libras trying to make the world a more beautiful place one renovation at a time.

Why they chose this property

I specifically remember the first time I saw this house shortly after relocating to Southern Maryland. I was incredibly intrigued by it and wondered what it even was - it was so mysterious. Just my style. Little did I know that a few years later we would get to turn it into our dream home.

When we saw the house for sale, despite being in pretty bad shape, we knew it had to be ours. The complete restoration/ renovation took over a year to complete.

I immediately had a vision for what I wanted to create, in that I knew this property was meant to be shared. With friends, with family and anyone else who wants to experience it's majestic beauty. It really is quite a magical place. The home and the property has a personality of it's own. And as I dreamed up the renovation, I fully listened to what this house and this land wanted to be again, and that's exactly what we created. And we hope and pray we did it justice.

It was definitely the biggest project of our lives. But now we are grateful to sit back and enjoy this as our full time home and share it with others as they pass through.
