You can whip up your favorite meal in the chef’s kitchen, which has an Italian Verona electric range with dual ovens - cook your dinner in one, dessert in the other.

Just 24 miles south of the White House, Charles County, Maryland was listed by Conde Naste Traveler as one of best places to go in the U.S. in 2023. The scenic area is home to astonishing historic lore (go kayaking around shipwrecks dating from the Revolutionary War at Mallows Bay, a newly dedicated National Marine Sanctuary), nesting bald eagles and other bird watching, and a robust farm- and river-to-table dining scene along the Potomac.
There are many things to do in Port Tobacco, including various hiking trails, boating, fishing, golfing, kayaking, paintballing, historical sightseeing and more! The Charles County, MD visitors page is full of activities and recommendations for your time in Port Tobacco - https://www.explorecharlescounty.com/
The best way to get around is with a car. The house has a carport, a long driveway and gravel parking by the road. In total you can comfortably park about 7-8 cars.
Upon booking, you'll receive a confirmation email from Cheerful Stays - this is our company name.
🧻 Sensitive Septic System
The house is on a septic system and well water system. We ask guests to please not flush any items other than toilet paper to avoid any issues/fines.
🐞 Wildlife/Bugs
Expect to encounter wildlife. We regularly see deer in the neighborhood, ducks swimming in the river and many squirrels. There will be bugs! A cost of being in the woods and close to water. Consider packing bug spray. We make every effort to minimize their impact on our guests and proactively treat. Mosquitoes, flies, bugs, and rodents are a natural part of MD and cannot be completely eradicated. Guests should keep doors and windows closed to prevent pest entry. The sighting of pests does not constitute or warrant a refund of any kind. In the rare event of a pest sighting inside our home, guests must notify us and allow a reasonable amount of time and access to inspect and address them
🚙 Parking
The house has a long driveway, carport and front gravel parking area. It can accommodate up to 7-8 vehicles.
🛶 Dock / Water Access
We live in a tidal water area, which means there are typically 2 high tides and 2 low tides per day. During low tides, there may not be enough water in the canal to use the canoes.
🦮 Pet limitations
We are unable to accommodate animals other than dogs at this time.
• any and all pets must be pre-approved by owner prior to booking • up to 3 dogs allowed ($75/dog) • must be housebroken and up-to-date on vaccines • permitted on furniture only if covered • may not be left in backyard unattended at any time • back gate must be left closed when not in use • must be leashed in front yard • must comply with all local leash laws.
