Loved the hot tub! The place is right on the river with a very nice view. The cottage is clean and bright with lots of windows. We visited at the turn of the season with cool temperatures at night, so we appreciated the nice electric fireplace for its heat! Hosts were terrific and very responsive. We would go back.

Quirky but clean cottage with beautiful sunsets over the Elk River. It rained much of the time we were there but we had a brief time where we enjoyed the fire pit on an early fall night. Our dog enjoyed the outdoor space as much as we did! Kitchen had everything we needed,Location is quite hidden, which is perfect if you want to get away.Only about 18 minutes to Univ. of Delaware, so a good find if you are traveling with a dog for UD events!

Perfect weekend getaway for the wife and I. The dock was excellent for some fishing and crabbing. Really cute inside perfect for 2 but easily can accommodate a family of 4. The hot tub was a great touch. Sunsets are beautiful. Would highly recommend a stay!!!

This was a perfect getaway and the cottage is exactly as described. Host was able to offer pet friendly accommodations and my dogs loved the water access. A peaceful retreat in a charming character rich cottage.

Fantastic getaway cottage!!

We had an amazing time at the cottage. It was clean, neat, well decorated, and a super comfortable place to stay. We used the hot tub, watched the sunset, took in the breathtaking views of the river. We will definitely return!

Disliked: Communication
We had high hopes for a quiet getaway, but unfortunately this stay and the process afterward fell short in several ways.A loud house party broke out at the neighboring property (the homes are very close together), complete with an outdoor DJ and loud music that continued for hours, along with yelling and screaming. It made it impossible to enjoy the outdoor space or even relax indoors. We contacted the host and were told it will be ‘over soon’. When we got back from dinner, the DJ had left, but loud music and partying continued. We felt that day was totally lost and chose to leave early.We requested a partial refund for the unused night. The response from the host took a while and when she finally replied, she confirmed the party had gone on longer than expected but declined to refund or discount the unused night. She instead offered a free night on future stay. This did not feel like a resolution and an avoidance of actually addressing what we'd already paid for and lost. When we followed up to mention we'd be leaving a review and contacting Vrbo, the host asserted that we were threatening her. We were simply informing her that we'd be sharing our experience since we hadn't reached a resolution.The property itself had some maintenance issues that added to our disappointment: bathroom, outdoor shower, and overgrowth on property. Overall, the noise disruption, the host’s lack willingness of a fair resolution, and the state of the property, we can't recommend this stay.

Beautiful cottage on the water

We loved our stay! The cottage was even better than in the photos. Jess made the check in process extremely easy and had great communication. It was exactly what we were looking for. A romantic quiet getaway with our puppy. They definitely put in the time and work to make it a great experience. The sunsets were beautiful on the river. Really enjoyed Chesapeake city which was a very close drive. 5 star experience, thank you!

Anniversary Trip

My husband and I chose this property due to proximity from our home and waterfront location. We rolled in during severe thunderstorms but still enjoyed beautiful sunset as clouds broke for a brief time. We cooked in that night due to storm and had everything we needed for cooking. We enjoyed the relaxing atmosphere as well as exploring local Chesapeake City. Started our anniversary with mass at St. Rose of Lima church, coffee and breakfast at Cafe on the Bay, and fabulous dinner at Bayard House. Jess was quick to respond to couple of questions we had. We enjoyed the hot tub, reading outside on sitting area as well an anniversary dance to our first song on the patio 31 years later! Hope to return again!

Great rental with a view!

This property is gorgeous! It was everything I could have hoped for. I was in town for a wedding in Earleville in search of a dog friendly rental. I am so happy I found this place. The cottage is down the long driveway neighboring other cottages/houses. Very cute fenced in entryway. The check-in process was very easy with the door code for entry. The cottage was super cute, plenty of space. The pups and I spent most of our time outside enjoying the view. The yard overlooking the water has a fenced in area which was nice for the pups so I could sit and relax with some peace of mind. I spent some time in the hot tub after the wedding. Overall such a relaxing getaway. I've had several friends reach out for the rental info after seeing pictures I'd posted.The owner was able to recommend some local grocery spots as well. Very responsive. Definitely would recommend.
