Multi-Generational Waterfront Retreat with Pool. No cleaning fees! 2024 will be our seventh year that we have invited guests to rent summer weeks at our home. We think it is a very special spot and hope you do too. Feel the stresses of your daily life melt away as you roll down the quarter mile driveway running past rich eastern shore farmland and a 210 year old sycamore tree. When you spot the big red barn and swaying willows, you know you've arrived. Come unwind in a beautifully restored stone home with all of the modern amenities on 4 acres. When you step through the front door, you will be greeted by a panoramic view of Fishing Creek through a full expanse of floor to ceiling windows. Guests will especially enjoy the evening breeze out on the screened in porch. The great room encompasses a beautiful modern kitchen, custom cherry dining island, large family style dinner table and enough comfy couch seating for your whole group. There are 2 bedrooms and one large bathroom on the ground level. The B&O Railroad Room has a queen bed. The Chesapeake Room features one king bed and a trundle bed with two twins.Upstairs you'll make your way to two large complete suites with full baths, walk-in closets, and doors that close to the hallway. The Captain's Quarters has a king-sized bed. The Pineapple Room has a queen size bed. Each room upstairs has a roll-away twin bed available in the walk-in closet.For those seeking outdoor adventure, there is plenty to do near or on the water.
