Stunning Views from Waterfront Log Cabin With Fireplace On The Chesapeake Bay

LENGTH-OF-STAY CHANGE: Hi everyone! In the past, shorter stays were pretty common here, and I loved hosting all kinds of visits. These days, reservations now have a 30-day minimum. That said, if you’re curious about the change, or were hoping for something a bit shorter, feel free to reach out to the owner. Always happy to chat!

You don't have to go far to feel far away from it all. The water view is stunning, described as breathtaking and exquisite. A rustic and cozy log cabin, in the woods, with a fire place, on a cliff, on the water. A great place to relax, walk the beach or nearby hiking trails. Come walk the beach and enjoy the expansive view from the deck, admire the fall foliage, or stay inside during cozy fall or crisp winter weather with a fire going. Look for fossilized sharks teeth on the community's private beach, or watch lightly falling snow on the water and trees, while you're warm and toasty inside with a fire going. Relax, enjoy the view and be at peace in every season.

NOTE 1: Hi everyone who's been looking at my property but not yet booked a stay, please just send me a message here letting me know that you're considering staying some time. I let people know of special opportunities to stay or events in the area that they may not know about but really like. If you've reached out to me here, then I can let you know when something's coming up. Sound good?

Note 2: This property, located about 15 minutes from Exelon's Calvert Cliffs, offers a cozy home with a beautiful view and fireplace. Multi-week winter stay discounts are available, making it a great spot to stay while working nearby.

This listing contains terrific information about my cabin and what you should know to have a most enjoyable stay. I hope you'll read to the end.

On clear nights, the cabin offers a stunning stargazing experience, away from city lights, where you can marvel at the brightness of stars and possibly see the Milky Way. Sitting on the deck, you can enjoy the peacefulness of the waves and the beauty of the night sky. A full moon adds an extra touch with shimmering moonlight on the water, making for a memorable experience.

This charming log cabin, originally built in the 1930s and carefully updated over time, combines rustic appeal with modern comforts, including central air, a La-Z-Boy sofa, Smart TV, Wi-Fi, and a fully-equipped kitchen. It sleeps 5 with a king bed, twin bed, and queen sofa bed. Located just an hour from Washington DC and Annapolis, it's the perfect cozy getaway.

I value diversity. LGBTQIA travelers welcome!

Relax surrounded by nature and stunning waterfront views, or be active and walk the beach looking for shark's tooth fossils, or hike nearby nature trails. The large windows and full deck let you enjoy the view in comfort. The perfect weekend or holiday getaway place, especially with the cozy fireplace going. Located on a 65-foot cliff, it's just a short walk to a beach and a 5-minute drive to a private community beach. Stroll the beach and enjoy the excitement of searching for fossilized shark's teeth that have washed up from the Chesapeake Bay. Walk the paths in the community or the trails in the nearby American Chestnut Land Trust and enjoy the scenic natural beauty. Visit local museums and historical sites. Eat at local restaurants or prepare your own food and dine on the deck while enjoying the waterfront view.

I love my neighbors. They are the best! Together we all enjoy a very quiet and relaxed neighborhood surrounded by nature's beauty. I'm committed to finding guests who will maintain the tranquility, respect community rules, and avoid parties or events. If you enjoy nature and a calm, relaxing atmosphere, you're welcome to request a stay at the cabin.

Internet Service is generally quite reliable and speedy. Neither I nor guests have had any trouble using Zoom or doing other online video conferencing.

The main bedroom downstairs contains a king bed. There is a small, rustic, attached full bathroom, closets, and five windows offering direct views of the Chesapeake Bay.

The second bedroom upstairs is an alcove off of the dining room, so it has only 3 walls but is private from the living room. It has a twin bed surrounded by book shelves and from that bed you can see the Chesapeake Bay and have great views of the sunrise while staying cozy under the covers. There is a full bathroom upstairs and a closet for clothes.

The living room couch folds out into a queen-sized bed with an inflatable pillow top. Positioned in front of the fireplace, it offers great views of the Chesapeake Bay through the dining room.

The path from the parking area to the main floor of the cabin is step-free, making for an easy walk.

Some Terrifically-Important-But-Not-Terribly-Exciting Details About Cleaning, Linens, Pets and Babies - Please Please Read This! Babies who cannot walk or crawl are welcome, but otherwise there is a minimum age of 5 for all guests. Some pets are allowed for a pet fee, 50 lbs maximum per pet (if larger, discuss with owner for a possible waiver). Most dogs under 2 years of age or who bark frequently are not allowed. If the total weight for 1 or more pets is more than 50 lbs, then at minimum an additional (and potentially more) pet fee will be charged. At the time you book your stay, please send a message and let the owner know your pet's age, breed, weight, barking habits & degree of housebrokeness. The cabin's pet guidelines can be sent in advance to you if you'd like, and if you book a stay they'll be sent to you to confirm that you and your much loved furry pal can follow them. After you schedule a stay we'll talk live over the phone, then a customized contract (the same one VRBO makes available to you to download and read before scheduling your stay) will be sent to you for signature. Now, wasn't that all very interesting?

No events, parties, disturbing of neighbors, boats on a trailer, or double-cab pickup trucks with a long bed allowed (too long for the parking area). Instead, come for quiet relaxation, stargazing, and nature at this cozy waterfront log cabin on the Chesapeake Bay.

About the host

Hosted by Brett Raynor

Host profile image
I love Voice Acting, which I do for a living. "The Voice They'll Want to Hear" is my tag line. Doing that kind of work requires a quiet place to work, and the cabin is very suitable for that. I love the sense of peace when things are very still and quiet, especially when I'm in a beautiful area and and have it for myself for a while. When I'm at the cabin myself I love looking at the water while I work at the dining room table (warning - it can be distracting!), reading out on the deck, watching TV while there's a fire in the fire place, and auditioning downstairs in my home-made sound booth. I love hosting people who will love the peace and beauty of my cabin and the area just as much as I do. Nature lovers, peace lovers, tree/plants/wildlife lovers. Please come for a stay.

Why they chose this property

This cabin was owned by a close family friend, and I had been visiting it since I was a child. It is in a community known for it's focus on nature, quietness, wildlife, strolling the beach, easy hikes and enjoying life surrounded by nature. Over the years many July 4th and Thanksgiving holidays meals were spent there at the dining room table looking over the water, and it just became the perfect wonderful getaway place. When it was offered for sale, I purchased it because my heart is so full of warm memories of family and fun here.

What makes this property unique

Cozy. Quiet. Nature. Beauty. Water. Wildlife. Fire place. Rustic log cabin with modern amenities, on a cliff, on the water, in a forest. Family gatherings on Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, and Christmas. More memories from my childhood than I can count. Come and enjoy.
