Waterfront Living One of the best parts of staying here is stepping outside to enjoy the peaceful millpond.
Guests are welcome to:
• Fish from the property (Maryland fishing license required) • Bring a kayak or small non-motorized boat • Watch abundant local wildlife • Enjoy beautiful sunsets over the water • Relax among mature pine trees and peaceful surroundings
You’ll frequently see ducks, Canada geese, turtles, herons, songbirds, and other native wildlife throughout the year.
Please note that the pond is intended for fishing and boating rather than swimming.
Great Location Perfectly situated for exploring the Delmarva Peninsula.
Approximately:
• 5 minutes to Sharptown Cherry Beach (swimming, boat launch, jet skis, and fishing) • 1 hour to Ocean City, MD • 1 hour to Rehoboth Beach, DE • 1 hour to Bethany Beach, DE
Whether you’re planning beach days, antique shopping, hiking, kayaking, or simply relaxing, you’ll have plenty to enjoy nearby.
Pet Friendly We know pets are family! Well-behaved dogs are welcome with approval. Because the property is unfenced and surrounded by wildlife, dogs must remain leashed whenever outdoors.
Important Information This property uses private well water, which is very common in this rural area.
Due to naturally occurring iron in the groundwater, the water may occasionally have a light brown or orange tint, particularly after periods of heavy rain or changes in groundwater conditions. While the water is safe for bathing and household use, we provide complimentary bottled drinking water for every guest for the duration of their stay for your convenience.
You may also notice occasional iron staining in toilets or sinks—this is simply a natural characteristic of the local well water and not a cleanliness issue.
As this is a waterfront property, nature is part of the experience. Seasonal algae levels in the pond may vary throughout the year, and ducks and geese frequently visit the shoreline. While we do our best to keep the property looking beautiful, wildlife doesn’t always follow the rules—and that’s part of what makes this peaceful setting so special.
We Can’t Wait to Host You Whether you’re planning a romantic escape, a fishing weekend, a remote work retreat, or simply a chance to slow down and reconnect with nature, we’d love to welcome you to our little lakeside cottage.
Come experience peaceful mornings, star-filled nights, and the quiet charm of Maryland’s Eastern Shore.
