Premier St. Michaels Cottage - T. Blades House - Walk to Everything in Town

The truly special and recently restored historic Thomas Blades House is centrally located in the Historic District of St. Michaels, a few steps from the Town Park with magnificent waterviews. It is a 2 bedroom, 1.5 bathroom vacation cottage. Rates vary by season, and whether stay is weeknight or weekend. Stays of a week or longer are discounted, as are "last minute" bookings.

Museums, shops (including grocery stores and a drug store), restaurants, churches, parks, tennis courts, Town pool. library, the weekly farmer's market, and other attractions are within walking distance of the house!

The house is very comfortable and beautifully decorated with period and reproduction furniture. Perfectly suited for a small family or one or two couples. The house is also an ideal romantic getaway for a couple. The large family room and big back porch create an ideal environment for relaxing!

The house was built around 1850 by Thomas Blades, a young sailor.

The first floor of the original portion of the Blades House includes a LIVING ROOM and a DINING ROOM. To the rear of the original house on the first floor is a KITCHEN area connected to a large wood paneled FAMILY ROOM. There is a half bath off of the family room.The rear of the family room opens up by French doors to a large outdoor PORCH with ceiling fan and dining area. There is a deck to the rear of the porch for outdoor grilling.

The second floor of the original portion of the Blades house includes a large BEDROOM with a queen size bed and an antique child's bed (cot size). The second floor to the rear of the house contains the large MASTER BEDROOM with a king size bed. Off of a hall between the two bedrooms is the master bathroom.

An additional cottage and large waterfront house are also available for rent.

We loved this house, it was perfect for exploring town and as a base for things further afield. Comfortable, thoughtfully and well stocked with lots of charm.

The T. Blades house was the perfect choice for a two day quick getaway for my husband and I. The house is not only filled with period charm and character, but has been lovingly and perfectly restored to make it a very comfortable stay. Immaculately clean and furnished. The location is a 5 star, as well. One block to the main street with shops and restaurants, and two blocks in the other direction to the water. Can't wait to go back. Kathleen and John

We loved our weekend at T. Blades House. We parked the car and walked everywhere - to breakfast, the parks, marina, all the shops on Talbot Street, and met so many nice neighbors (and their canine companions) strolling the quaint little streets! The house was cozy as can be, with all the charm of a historic home plus modern conveniences. Gorgeous original heart pine floors, beams, and period hardware & furnishings — with nice comfortable beds to end your day! We would love to return next year!

The house looked better than the pictures. It was very cozy and had everything we needed. It’s probably the best location for walking around town. Water pressure in the shower was decent, and the beds were comfortable.

We enjoyed the stay. Beautiful place. Right near the harbor because we came in by boat so only a short walk was very convenient.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. It was just a short walk to the water and to all of the shops & restaurants in town. Theo's and Limoncello are fantastic. We love historic homes and this one was absolutely beautiful.

Great location and a lovely place to stay. It lacks a bit in terms of cooking, no oil or spices, but that is about the only problem that I found. Water pressure is fine, the beds are comfortable, the house is cozy and the communication is easy. This is a great option when staying in St M.

Thoroughly enjoyed our two night stay in St Michael’s. Clean and well appointed house. We only have two concerns: mattresses need to be replaced and second bedroom needs window coverings. You cannot beat the location.

We enjoyed our a long weekend in this historic cottage.it is located on a street that we have frequently walked over the past 15 years - we’ve always been curious about this row of homes. We loved all of the antiques and decor. We enjoyed sitting on the shaded screened in porch during the hot days, along with our Boston Terrier and another set of friends. The location is perfect, 1 block from the Main Street and about 1/2 block from the harbor and park.. We received the perfect amount of communication from the owner. We would book with them again.

Really liked the house. Great amenities and comfortable. Would suggest a Twin or trundle bed in fron/kids bedroom. My son ended up on downstairs couch which was fine. Double bed was fine for my daughter. I would go back to property.
