If my 6 words didnât summarize my stay, allow me elaborate. I had a wonderful time at the Manor. I traveled by myself so the room was perfect! It looks exactly like the posted pictures. Julie did a great job thinking of everything someone would need. My stay was rainy but it didnât stop me from venturing out. I enjoyed being greeted by the chickens and I was able to get some beautiful pictures of cardinals on the property.
The manor is perfect situated off the side road of a main road. You canât miss it! Which makes it easy to navigate. Also, Julie gave the best directions and is a top notch host. While visiting, I went to a few places she suggested and had a blast! Ruddy Duck for crabcakes and The Tiki Bar for drinks and laughs with the locals. On my last night visiting I took pictures of the river and enjoyed the tranquillity of my stay. I look forward to returning.
I had a great experience staying here. The place was clean, nice and as expected. It was close to Calvert Cliffs State Park, along with many other attractions. The host was very helpful in providing recommendations. I would definitely go back.
This is the second year in a row I have stayed at the cottage. I absolutely love the solitude and quiet, as well as easy access to the beautiful locations nearby. I look forward to staying there again!
Stayed with Julie for a quick get away weekend late in October. The leaves were just beginning to turn, so we missed it by about a week or two. Regardless, the area had lot of other thing to offer including a nice hike down to the Calvert Cliffs Beach.
Upon our arrival, we found the unit to be very clean, but a bit on the small side. The decorum more then made up for it though by giving off a very cozy comforting, peaceful feeling. Not ideal for a long term stay, but certainly functional for a nice quiet weekend get away or a few days. We truly enjoyed our short stay and our host Julie was very responsive and available at all times if you needed her. This is a place I can see us going back to in the future.
Had a really nice stay at the manor , the place was decorated beautifully and I was able to work from the apartment/ rest well after visiting with family in the area. Julie is also such a great host, there were many added touches to the space that made it so welcoming. Would highly recommend staying here!!
My stay at the Bancroft Cottage was perfect. The studio was beautifully decorated, impeccably clean and the bed was so comfortable I slept almost 12 hours in a row. The studio is secure and private, ideal for a couple or for a single person. It proved to be the perfect starting point for several excursions into Solomon's Island, Saint Leonard and the Flag Pond hiking trail. I highly recommend!
This very private property is absolutely beautiful and peaceful. The studio has everything you would need for a comfortable stay, including all must-have amenities like a Keurig and fridge. Julie has mastered small space living with this studio rental. It has a perfect balance of space and provided amenities. The studio was very clean and beautifully decorated. Check-in was a breeze and the provided area recommendations were great.
The accommodations were perfect. Quiet, clean and wonderfully appointed, it was exactly what I neede
I wanted to fossil hunt in the area before going to Washington for a few days. It takes a few days to decompress and slip into vacation mode. These accommodations were the perfect place to do this.
This quaint studio was beyond amazing! I was searching of somewhere near the water, but secluded and safe. I got all that and more! Julie was so kind and even provided me a list of restaurants and beaches nearby. The place was clean and designed beautifully. The bedsheet were soft and the mattress was comfortable. I spent the weekend reading and sipping tea. After 1 weekend here, I started planning for me next trip to my new getaway spot. :)
With a comfortable bed and excellent amenities such as Meyers toiletries and high quality linens, we felt pampered during our short stay. Julie was in close contact, especially when a snowstorm threatened. The studio and courtyard are tiny but beautifully decorated. Knowing there is only a full-size bed, and my husband being 6'4", we brought an air bed and slept fine. We saw the Christmas light display at Annmarie Sculpture Gardens, hiked at Greenway State Park and Calvert Cliffs State Park, dined out and ate in--had very full days and restful nights. It was a near-perfect getaway.
This place is a real gem. I have never seen such perfect layout and finishing in a VRBO property. Every element of this space was selected thoughtfully. We had everything we needed for our stay. The photos are the real deal. Julie was lovely to work with. We will recommend and return.
Believe your eyes, this wonderful little place is every bit as thoughtfully designed and lovingly maintained as the pictures say. Clearly, Julie takes pride in making her guests feel welcome, from the moment they enter and discover the snacks in the foyer. I loved the buttery soft sheets, and the massage-like feel of the natural polished stones in the shower. A frequent traveller learns to seek out, and to savor, a place where one can step out and get a taste of its own, particular uniqueness. Having that very private little courtyard was a real bonus! If you are lucky, Julie will be out collecting eggs or feeding the chickens, and she will fill you in on the little dramas of the flock. Historically, this is a place of welcome and comfort. I can't wait to learn more about the entertaining that was done here in centuries past. And can't wait to return!
We came in town over a weekend for a wedding. We had never been to MD so we knew nothing of the area. Julie sent us a list of recommended places to eat and visit during our stay. The room was gorgeous! It had everything we needed for the weekend. And the bed was so comfortable! (I usually hate sleeping away from mine!) This was a wonderful place to stay for a getaway!
A small but cozy property, close to lots of good food and drinks. Julie recommended a lot of places to visit and it was a good weekend trip to relax and getaway.
