Waterfront Getaway with Dock

Bicyclist's and outdoorsman's dream! Neat little rancher on two waterfront acres just 4 miles from Blackwater Wildlife Refuge and Harriet Tubman National Park. 10 minute drive from downtown, the Hyatt, and the Ironman starting point as well. Ironman and Eagleman races actually pass right by! Bright, sunny, and newly renovated, it's a great place to hang your hat after a day of hunting, fishing, bicycling, or triatholon-ing! Or just take a weekend to relax on the water!

The space
House is located right on route 16- one of the most popular bicycle routes on the Shore! There is a general store just a half mile away, and a great waterfront bar/restaurant down the road as well (Palm Beach Willie's and Maryland Blue). Just 10 minutes from downtown Cambridge, you're also close enough to enjoy RAR Brewing without a hassle. If you have a wedding at the Hyatt, it's a 7 minute straight shot- you literally don't have to turn!

Enjoy a drink on the dock after a day of biking or kayaking. Lounge by the fire pit in the evening or enjoy the propane fire pit on the pier.

Hunters- feel free to use the bow targets in the yard. Plenty of room to park a boat as well.

Fishermen- catch a snakehead right out the back door! Plus the minnow trap is available and can provide a steady supply of bait.

Guest access
Guests will have access to the whole house. We have three kayaks and a canoe which guests can enjoy upon signing a release. There is a hammock set up right on the water, as well as an outdoor picnic table with lights strung overhead. There are also bow targets, pull crab traps and a minnow trap for guests use on property.

Other things to note
There is a chicken coop with chickens on the property but no rooster. Feel free to enjoy some eggs from the chickens or produce from the garden.

The stay was terrific. The place was very clean, check in was seamless. The property is on a great piece of water and the property is big itself. It was crazy hot like 93 degrees for the days we were there but the house AC kept the place cool the whole time. Chickens very cute and had an egg.Minnow trap - excellent.Caught a fish off the dock- looked like a perch.We rode our bikes up the the country store.Took our boat to Blackwater.Would highly recommend and may be back in the future. Thanks Trevor, you’re a solid host.
We brought our own bikes and it was fantastic.
Kayaks were excellent.

Loved this place

Absolutely great place, beautiful decorated house with a lot of space, very well equipped kitchen, modern washing maschine and dryer. Great site with outside table and hammock. Access to water and canoes: great for bird watching. And there are chicken, you may eat the eggs. It was the best place we stayed at for our roadtrip, the kids absolutely loved it there.

Soul enriching location

Soul enriching location. The dock, the fresh eggs, the local GBH, and night sky all contribute. Quick access to Blackwater NWR. The furnishings and kitchen accessories are adequate. The microwave door no longer closes correctly and has to be pushed until the fan stops. None of that matters because of the location.

Comfortable, convenient to great photo and historic sites around beautiful Delmarva.

Comfortable, lots of thought and effort has been put into providing a fun, convenient place to stay with access to water activities (canoeing, kayaking, etc.). Nearby, Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge and surrounding area is a wonderful place to visit ,to see and photograph a huge variety of birds, beautiful landscapes. Great dining in nearby Cambridge, as well as other close small towns. Highly recommended.

Late Fall Stay

We were very happy with the property and while our dates were "off season" for most folks, it was a great place to come back to after exhibiting all day at the Waterfowl Festival in Easton. The house was larger than we needed, but it was quiet and worked well for the two of us as well as the dogs. We would definitely book here again.

Relaxing and beautiful home

Clean and convenient location. Everyone had something to do. From crabbing, fishing, and feeding the chickens. Best relaxing vacation. Thanks for the wonderful small touches like at night with string of lights to light up yard and fresh eggs in morning. Looking forward to our next stay. Thank you.

A wonderful paddling getaway

A perfect escape from city living! Clean property, easy to access kayaks and canoe for wonderful paddling right from the dock and a great fire pit in the yard. So peaceful. The bathrooms were clean and inviting after a day on the water. The kitchen had everything needed to help enjoy a cooked meal of fresh veggies from nearby Emily’s Produce (BIG recommendation!). Thank you

Can't wait to go back!

Three of us stayed overnight on a girl's weekend visit to Blackwater. This property is beautiful! Sunrise over the water was amazing. The house was spotless, stocked with everything you need right down to shower products. The furniture is very comfortable, beds are as well. We didn't get to use the screened porch as it was too chilly, but it will be great in warmer weather. The chickens had a lot to say in the morning, so I felt obligated to stop and visit for a bit. Will definitely stay here again.

Family getaway

Loved the property. Home well-maintained and well-appointed. Clean and comfortable. The kayaks, canoe and dock were our favorites! Trevor, the homeowner was accessible for answering questions or taking care of any issues. On day 1 there was a problem with one of the major appliances and I texted Trevor, who responded immediately and solved the problem quickly. Recommend without hesitation.

Great little getaway

We had a great stay - we kayaked with a blue heron, enjoyed fresh eggs from the chickens, and loved the swing! The house is more spacious than we expected, and there is a crib and high chair for littles. A bald eagle and hummingbird made some appearances also. The screened-in porch is great if it gets buggy. Definitely recommend!

Sunrises from the dock were some of the best

Every morning I made coffee, lit the fire pit on the dock and spent at least from 30 minutes before sunrise to 30 after. Used Merlin to identify bird calls. Heard and saw bald eagles, a belted kingfisher and an eastern bluebird. Watched a great blue heron fishing. Heard many many different birds. Truly an awesome location to slow down and enjoy the moment

Great Stay!

This property was even better than the photos suggest. Private and serene. The kayakers enjoyed the open water. The non-kayakers enjoyed reading and enjoying nature from the Adirondack chairs on the dock. We also enjoyed the porch. The house was clean and modern inside. The fact that there was no ensuite worked best--both bathrooms were accessible to the six of us.

Our family of 5 stayed here for 3 nights and had a great experience. When we arrived, we were greeted by a heron on the dock. The location on the water is great, and we took advantage of the kayaks and canoe. The house was clean, spacious, and comfortable. And having fresh eggs was a perk!
