We enjoyed our stay visiting family in Talbot and Dorchester Counties. The house provides a beautiful view of the river. We enjoyed visiting the Harriet Tubman Museum during our stay. We appreciate that staple items such as trash bags, dishwasher soap and paper towels were provided. We would love to stay again when in the area.

Peaceful River House

We enjoyed this beautiful river home over the weekend with our adult children and their spouses as we were attending a wedding in Easton. It was about a 20 minute ride through cornfields and Eastern Shore countryside. The house was clean and well appointed. We enjoyed the peaceful Choptank River. We would definitely like to stay again

Beautiful place on the water

We were pleasantly surprised when we walked in the house and saw the beautiful water view. The house was immaculate, very nicely decorated and comfortable. The host was very responsive with us regarding any questions we had. Short drive into the town of Easton but worth the drive. Would stay there again.

Mothers Day Weekend

The stay here was just how I envisioned. The home was beautiful, clean and peaceful. It was a little chilly during the stay so we couldn’t experience any water activities but that didn’t stop the fun by a long shot. My husband was able to fish as much as he wanted with no interruptions and he caught a nice amount of fish also. 10/10 definitely recommend this home for a nice relaxing weekend. And the host was super helpful and super nice.

River Getaway near Family

We selected this home to stay near family in Easton and have more space. The house was even nicer in person! The kids loved running around the yard and using the kayak. The owners thought of so many details for their guests! They also responded to my messages within minutes. We found the kitchen very well stocked with cookware which we enjoyed to cook family meals. The sunsets on the river were beautiful! We enjoyed walks in the morning through the neighborhood and found the neighbors very friendly! We definitely are considering booking again in the future! We highly recommend this property!

Very Nice

The property was nice and clean. The host was very good with communication.. Would definitely recommend! The only very small problem was that towels were provided but no washcloths. On the listing it says towels are provided and I assumed that meant both. I guess that was my bad but I never heard of anything like that before.

The house was very clean, and we appreciated the stocked pantry with paper towels, kitchen supplies and spices. Although we didn't have children with us, the house is child-friendly with cute kids' games and water toys. The beds are very comfortable, and the owner is responsive and helpful. We appreciated the access to the kayak during our stay. The checkout process was easy and reasonable. Would definitely recommend staying at this property.

Beautiful location, relaxing atmosphere

My group and I chose this house as a retreat. It was a perfect place for rest, reconnection, and relaxation. This house was very clean, including the linens. Beds were comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked, and there was even a spice cabinet to use. We used the kayak and the outdoor firepit which was a lovely addition to the weekend. We had two issues: lack of an outdoor trashcan which according to the property manager is supposed to be resolved and a wonky bathroom door that hung sideways and didn't shut which made it awkward for people using the bathroom. Thank goodness we were close friends. Fortunately, these didn't interfere with our enjoyment of the property and the weekend.

Calming Maryland Scenic River Stay

Although we did not stay on property long and also it rained the entire time, our family enjoyed the stay and the very serene atmosphere. There was more than enough space for the 5 of us. If planning to stay here, make sure you bring groceries if you don’t plan to leave. The closest stores are over 25 minutes away. If you drink coffee, there is only a Keurig and not a percolator. Our only real caution is we had some ants on the kitchen counters,

Another great stay at the River House

This was our second stay at the River House and it was great. Everything was as listed and expected. We took day trips to Assateague Island, Annapolis and St. Michaels. Our boys loved being able to fish in the backyard as well as at the wharf one house over. It is a very peaceful and quiet neighborhood with beautiful views. The owner is very responsive and everything from check-in to check-out went smoothly.

Amazing Christmas vacation

This property is exactly the same as the photos and it is in a beautiful, quiet location. Each morning you wake up to the view of the Choptank River and various birds. The house has a large yard as well as a small tidal beach, which our grandson loved, even in winter. Communication with the owner was prompt and the self-entry makes it very convenient. The house was extremely clean and well stocked. Every detail has been thought through as well as lovely decorations. The house is spacious and the internet works well. Everything you would need can be found in the town of Easton and St Michaels is a charming historical town. We visited Blackwater Reserve as well as Annapolis. Our Christmas vacation was a great balance between exploring the area and relaxation. Thank you Steven for opening up this wonderful home for others to enjoy.
