Our guests did their best to encourage the finned population to enjoy squid and bloodworms, but the big catfish and redfish report that they will bring their game when our wonderful guests return this summer. Hurry back.

Ken is a genuinely kind and gracious man. My wife and I can tell he has a passion for hosting. He gave us a tour of the property, taught us how to set the crab traps, and made us feel right at home. The property is cozy and has all the amenities you need, the private dock is wonderful too. Would highly recommend.

Our first time staying in the area. Sure didn’t disappoint. Had a little town feeling with everything from grocery stores to ice cream shops with beautiful parks on the water all within a 15 minute drive. The cottage isn’t fancy but,well taken care of and clean with a homey feeling with charm and warmth. The views are unbelievable from the water to the boats and have to mention the ducks waddling past the yard to the frogs croaking at night.Last but not least Ken what a true gentleman. He in my opinion goes beyond. His attention to detail is incredible and his hospitality and generosity was very appreciated. We will definitely be back before summer ends.

Our guests were wonderful and enjoyed the bounty of the river, and were dedicated to fishing and crabbing. Thanks for choosing our humble place on the Potomac, and please return. There are a few trophy redfish that swam by after you left, perhaps taunting you and daring you to return.

When your guests bring gifts, this of genuine New Hampshire Maple Syrup, the benefit of their visit is just getting started. The crabs were the first of the season and the fish just hadn't gotten out of the last days of their school, hopefully, Malissa and Pete will return again to teach the Croakers how to sing. Great guests.

Quick Stay

Property was adorable and cozy. Wish we were staying longer because it felt like home. Host made so many things available to us. Host was a selling point. He was like a tour guide, giving us info on places to eat, shop and helped us out with crabbing. Came over to say goodbye on checkout day. We would highly recommend host and Toneys Landing to anyone.

Toney, Toney, Toney's Landing

Loved this place right on the Potomac River...all the comforts of home! Next time I hope I can bring my boat and dock on the pier. Very secluded, but not far from good restauraunts and Leonardtown business district. Ken was an excellent host and made sure we had everything we need and was very responsive. We will be back later in the summer when the crabs are more plentyful. Nautical decor with very cool folk art pieces, local artwork and maps through out the house.

My husband and grandson fished from morning to night. We just fell in love with the place. First time when it was time to leave we wanted to stay. The owners were more than accommodating. The nicest person you could ever want to meet. He could not do enough to make your stay relaxing. We definitely will be coming back.

Perfect weather for our perfect guests was enjoyable to know that many fine-finned denizens of the deep arrived to entertain them with continuous reel fun. Looking forward to having this family return again and explore more of our local authentic restaurants that feature seafood brought in by boats, not by trucks. Thanks for having a great time and hurry back.

Over The Top!

I've stayed at quite a few VRBO properties but this experience was by far the best! Our host was very active in making sure we had everything we could possibly need for an enjoyable stay and the amenities were above and beyond what any of our needs might have been. The only downside? Not enough crabs wanted to get caught! I'll gladly return here again and again and won't hesitate recommending this property for a pleasant, relaxing vacation!!

Perfection

Toney's Landing was everything we had hoped for and then some! The property was exactly as pictured! There were so many personal touches and extra little things that it felt more like staying at a relatives home rather than a vacation rental. The atmosphere was so peaceful! Fishing and crabbing were amazing! We ate our daily catches nightly for dinner! Our host Ken was most accommodating and it was hard to leave because conversation just flowed so nicely with him! If you are looking for a wonderful place to just relax and escape reality for a bit, this is the perfect place to do so! While it was our first visit to Toney's Landing, it certainly will not be the last!

Every host should hope that Lisa and Jim book with them as they enjoyed the bounty of the river from dawn to dusk and were the perfect guests in every way. They left the cottage better than they found it with great adjustments to decor and tasteful touches. Consideration and courtesy mark this fine couple and we look forward to their return, though the fish and crabs might not be as enthusiastic.

Great week of R & R

Quaint little house along the Bay. Quiet area and filled with essentials. Our host had a welcoming stocked house for us. Bottled water, coffee, seasonings, snacks, linens, towels, toiletries too numerous to mention. Very thoughtful of the individuals renting the house. When we arrived it was raining and our host was waiting with an umbrella to welcome us. Ken (our host) lived next door. A wealth of knowledge, suggestions about the area and restaurants to eat. He showed me how to set up and empty the crab traps. Great choice. Thanks Ken for the hospitality

Fishing and Crabbing Paradise...it's true!

Had an excellent week at the property. Ken/Donna, the owners, are fantastic. House was stocked with snacks, spices, and everything you need for a crab feast. Location is away from the mainstream but easy to find and WELL WORTH IT! Figured out the Wi-Fi TV with Ken's help and will be looking to dump FIOS/cable for good at my home. We had the most relaxing time here and will consider returning next year. You get your own private fishing pier with 2 crab pots provided. This was an awesome stay, completely relaxing, and the Eagles, Ospreys, and Herons are visible and very close every day. Absolutely amazing bonus! Thank you for everything Ken & Donna. Glad you liked Paula's brownies!

It is a pleasure to see such great folks enjoy Toney's Landing with the million-dollar view across five miles to Virginia, be serenaded by a continuous flyover of fascinating waterfowl, and soak in a good amount of life on the Potomac in God's Country.

Everything as described

This maintained, quaint 1950s waterfront cottage was equipped as described. The owners lived next-door and Ken was very friendly offering local and surrounding history as well as ideas/reviews of places to visit and see. Although we did not catch any fish, there were fishing poles there for us to use. In addition, two crab pod‘s were available for crabbing. The neighborhood was very quiet offering as much solitude and restful sleep. The house, even though it was a two bedroom and one bath, suited us nicely for all of our needs. We are hoping at some point to return to this area and if this property is available we would rent again. Thank you to the owners for helping us feel welcomed.
