Beautiful location and house was so nice and relaxing. Firepit was so great and the view of the water was perfect. The house was clean and had everything you need for your stay!

Thank you, Sara! We're so glad you enjoyed yourselves! We sure hope you'll come back and visit us when you can take full advantage of our waterfront property!
Thank you, Catherine! We were delighted to host you and your family! We think It's a special spot too! Please come again for another visit; maybe in the Spring or Summer? Our area offers so many fun, outdoor activities for the whole family!
The house is in a terrific location adjacent to the Miles River Yacht Club and just a short drive to the center of St. Michaels. The dock has plenty of depth for a mid sized power boat and is only a short walk from the house. This property is a perfect location for relaxing and enjoying the water.
We had a wonderful second year staying at the cottage while our kids attended CBMM camp. The house provided plenty of space and activities both indoor and outdoor. We especially loved swimming and kayaking this year!
Every part of this stay was perfect. Great property/land, and fantastic cottage. We'd love to stay here again and have recommended to friends and family. The pictures don't do it justice.
We never thought it could beat the first trip there, but the weather was spectacular. We love the place so much, getting schedule together for number 3!
This cottage is a perfect venue for a personal or small group retreat. The setting is lovey and evocative, beautiful even when it rains. the cottage has many areas to escape to and is well appointed.

Many thanks for sharing your experience at Long Haul Acres!
We strive to provide a relaxing, enjoyable and comfortable experience for our guests!
We were delighted to host you and certainly hope that you will come back again in another Season, as each Season has it own special offerings.
You can’t beat the view! Lovely! The house was very clean and comfortable. The master room bed and the towels were cushy and comfortable. I wish there had been darkening shades in the bedroom but otherwise it was a great place to stay
We enjoyed staying at this home. It was close to town but quieter than being in town. The floor plan was convenient. The home was well decorated. The manager was very accessible.
Welcoming home. Cozy and comfortable. Lovely and peaceful moments from screened in porch and dock. Well appointed kitchen. Easy trip into town. House as advertised but note bath towels provided but no hand towels or wash cloths. I would have planned for that, had I known.

Thanks so much, Paula. We're so glad you enjoyed your stay. Also, thanks for the heads up about the wash cloths and hand towels. We have replenished both with plenty to spare!
We sure hope you'll visit us again!
It was a Big Chill weekend of old friends. We had such a lovely time catching up in the comforts of your beautiful house. Thank you for a great time. (More details: lots of towels, comfortable beds, beautiful views, quiet neighborhood, spacious gathering space and a fun town to explore. This house has it all!)

We super enjoyed having Alison and her friends stay at lovely Long Haul Acres. We hope they'll choose us again when booking their next visit to the Eastern Shore!
Our family of four had a wonderful stay at this cottage on the river. The home was well stocked, and had a lot of games for the kids. There are numerous outdoor activities provided and the view out the back of the house is stunning. Check-in, check-out, and communication with the host we're all seemless. We will be back next summer, thank you!

Thank you so much for booking with us, Nicola. We really enjoyed hosting you and your family and are delighted to know that you plan to book Long Haul Acres again next Summer!
This adorable cottage is certainly a hit with everyone who books it and we try to go above and beyond to accommodate our guests.
We try to get down to the area every year and rent a VRBO on the water somewhere and while we always enjoy our time at the bay, THIS weekend was perfect! The home was absolutely wonderful, beautiful, comfortable, quiet. The beds were great and sheets/towels were soft. Someone had returned some dirty pans to the cupboard but that’s wasn’t a big deal at all and everything else was truly spotless. The kayaks were in great shape and the property outdoor areas are also very well maintained. This home is definitely loved and well cared for. We didn’t bring our dog but there was no evidence of pet hair or anything at all from previous renters. We had 3 teen-adult kids upstairs and they all enjoyed their space. The proximity to town was great for walking or biking. Thank you for sharing your home! We look forward to returning next year!
