About this property

Waterfront Cabin with Million Dollar View and Luxury Bath! Find Shark's Teeth!

Comfortable Chesapeake Bay Waterfront Historic Log Cabin in Exclusive Private Community where you can enjoy swimming, tennis, beachcombing, fossil hunting, hiking, and relaxing. Bald Eagles cruise past your front yard.

What's Unique? The best view on the Bay, yet only an hour’s drive from Washington DC, and 25 minutes north of Solomon's Island. Relax under a virgin tree canopy while gazing at the indigo Chesapeake from our Cliffside chairs!

Please ask us about shorter stays to accommodate your needs.

Guests rave about the glowing Sunrises over the Bay, and the dark night sky which you'll find perfect for stargazing while watching illuminated freighters ply the Bay.

Charming, well maintained spacious cottage perched high on the Calvert Cliffs of the Western Shore of the Bay with a 180 degree view! Watch bald eagles soaring by the cliff while ocean freighters and crab boats ply the waters of the Bay. This unique log home includes all the modern and tech conveniences, yet retaining a whimsical atmosphere, decorated with world treasures, antiques and Miocene Era shark’s teeth.

Note for Power Plant Outage staffers: we have a special place for you; we've enjoyed your stays for 15 years.

Enjoy an expansive upscale bathroom with glass door shower/tub, marble tile surround, quartz vanity top. New Sony Smart TV, and high speed dependable wireless service to connect you. A cherished family home for many years, it includes a fully stocked kitchen, unlike your typical rentals. Children enjoy the level back and front yards for play, board games, and the loft.

You will find yourself nestled under a tall canopy of trees in a private country-club-like setting with one mile of white sand beach and fabulous recreational amenities. The 300 acre private community with its private paved roads, pristeen outdoor swimming pool, two excellent tennis/pickleball courts, boat ramp, and 5 hiking trails will engage your family in complete relaxation, all without leaving this protected and peaceful community.

The mile long sand beach (with tidal fluctuations) offers some of the best fossil hunting opportunities on the East Coast. Here you can stroll the beach and find Prehistoric shark’s teeth and fossils. Families love the gentle surf and ravine fed streams where children love to build sand castles, and splash in the Bay’s sand bars, just a short 10-15 minute walk from the house. In addition, enjoy the community’s expansive South Beach within a 5 minute drive, where one finds picnic tables, parking, boat ramp, port-a-potty and foot bath. Bring your kayaks and canoes; there are wonderful opportunities to explore Parker’s Creek Nature Preserve just a short paddle north.

The open floor plan with cathedral ceiling living room has superb Bay views, comfortable seating and a computer table and plug in. The adjoining dining porch with screened Andersen windows seats 8 at table, and also offers a lovely conversation area where you can enjoy the constantly-changing water views or cozy up with a book or laptop.

Two comfortable bedrooms, one with 12" memory foam queen, one with Euro-top full mattress, each with dresser and large closet, a pleasant sleeping loft with an upgraded double bed for children, and a narrow twin bed in the living room provide many sleeping options; accommodates 5.

Recently upgraded kitchen includes newer Cerantop range, large refrigerator with robust ice maker, newer countertops, Blanco sink, and microwave. Cooks appreciate the vast selection of spices, condiments, staples, cooking tools, pans, baking dishes, as well as table service for 8. A full size gas grill is convenient.

Entertainment features robust WiFi, Roku with Sling TV with many channels, internet TV with your Netflix or Amazon account, BluRay for music and DVDs, radio, music speaker, and local telephone service. A sizeable collection of books and games await you.

Cooled by central air conditioning, and warmed by central oil-fired heat, you can be assured you will always be comfortable in this year-round non-smoking home. We do have a minimum age for our guests, children are welcome, and we ask that our guests board their family pets. Welcome to Stone’s Throw!

This is the third year in a row we’ve stayed at this property. We absolutely love it! Watching the sunrise, drinking coffee, combing the beaches even at night is amazing! There’s so much to do and not far away. The hosts are wonderful about communicating and everything was easy to handle with check-in and out. Highly recommend!

all the charm of an old log cabin, all the amenities and modern comforts you could need. The main town (with an abundance of food and shopping options) is only a 5 minute drive. Lots of parks (if you even want to venture out of this beautiful community) are also within a short drive.

Scientists Cliff stay May 2025

This was a wonderful stay. It is very, very quiet and peaceful and the view of the Bay is amazing. The home was as advertised. There is a tiny beach within easy walking distance. I've still not tried the nearby trails, but my friend ran them a bit and loved them. We are already talking about when we can return.

Perfect long weekend get away!

The property was exactly as described and imaged on the listing. The welcome pack sent by Ginny was so helpful and answered every question we had and more. I loved watchin the beautiful sunrise every morning that rose directly in front of the house. My favorite was the access to the private community beaches. We found tons of fossils and shark teeth. Already trying to figure out when I can come back. Everything was perfect and we had the best time. Thank you for sharing your home and community with us.

This cabin is so cozy with a lot of homey touches. You can tell the owners love this property and take great care of it. We loved going down to the water looking for sharks teeth and found a bunch. We will definitely be returning here.

What a VIEW!

What a VIEW! Sunrises and Moonrises over the Chesapeake Bay - wow. Watch eagles and ospreys soar by at eye level. Walk the beaches an find fossil shark teeth and shells. Hike the woods and ravines in the community or next door at the American Chestnut Land Trust. Great for the nature enthusiast. The cabin is very cozy with wood everywhere, a loft and a stone fireplace. Very comfortable. Can sit at the table on the enclosed porch and view the Bay through the wall of windows. Fantastic place to stay.

Great Escape with all the comforts

This trip was flawless (other than me forgetting an important bag and having to go back home to get it!). Checkin was a breeze and the cabin was super clean with a well equipped kitchen. The decor has so many interesting things to look at but is not overdone or cluttered - I felt at home right away. Nothing compares to the view and seclusion. Since it was cold and wintery I spent lots of time sitting in the cozy porch chairs reading an excellent book. A true gem of a place!!!

About the host

Hosted by Ginny

Host profile image
We are very fortunate to be the conservators of a waterfront home perched high on the cliffs of the Bay which our parents acquired in 1949. Our parents loved this magical place. We have extended their legacy by constantly maintaining and upgrading the comfortable log cabin. While the 1947 log cabin is original and authentic, it is warmed by oil heat, cooled by central air, and filled with modern tech conveniences. Since 2009 when we opened our doors to guests, visitors have enjoyed vacations and shared their stories of relaxing experiences at the cabin, on the beach, in the forested community. We look forward to providing a happy home for your family's next vacation.

Why they chose this property

We both spent our summers here while we were growing up. It is a unique environment. The beach and the ever-changing Bay always beckon us.

What makes this property unique

Stone's Throw is a unique home situated on a high cliff over the Bay where one can enjoy one of the best views on the ever-changing Bay and relax under the canopy of a virgin forest.
