Great stay for triathlon

We were in town for the local triathlon and had a great stay! My kids (3&4) and I were able to walk to the finish line from the location. The house was clean and large enough that we were all comfortable. If you have kids, it’s across the street from a cool boat playground. Diane was very responsive to my questions and provided plenty of towels, blankets, etc. Overall, a great stay!

Amazing house and community

We were there for the local triathlon weekend. This property was centrally located within easy walking distance to the water, race site, and restaurants. We didn't get much of a chance to explore downtown but still had a great time relaxing and talking to the locals!

Just about perfect.

The home decor and furnishings, location, and town were just what we needed. We did have to collect and bag up all the scented products during our short stay. We assumed the cottage had not been used recently and the various scents were strong. When we finally figured out how to set the mini split heating and cooling system, we were comfortable. Views of the lush lanscaping and birds through the windows was a highlight for us.

Wedding

The place was very easy to find. Located very close to the wedding venue. Despite the nasty weather, we still enjoyed our stay. If I were to plan an East Coast getaway I would definitely stay here. We weren’t in the house much as we had so many wedding activities. But it has everything that would make a long term summer visit wonderful.

Rock Hall getaway

We stayed here for our anniversary. It is a lovely cottage with seascape decor throughout. We really felt at home and relaxed. Everything was clean, so pretty, and left us wanting to stay longer. We will definitely come back.

Just the Perfect Spot

This was our first time visiting the area, wanted something close to the water and also walkable to what the town has to offer. This property fit the bill perfectly! We brought our own kayaks and were able to walk them across the street to the marina and put right in. Walking to town or the other end of the town to see the sunsets was nice too. The house itself was very thoughtfully laid out and comfortable. Would love to stay again!

Bay Haven Cottage. Fall Adventure Weekending !

This property is well maintained and the amenities make it a shining star. We enjoyed the subtle coastal decor and the convenience of having many amenities even if we did not cook our meals here. The location for us was a winner. We spent our time in Chestertown for the Downrigging Event but also lots of fun in Rock Hall a friendly coastal community. Breakfast at a local spot “Java Rock” But they serve lunch as well. Great Menu and hours…. We hope to return in the future. Visited the Eastern Neck Park Where we saw eagles and a beautiful butterfly garden. The landscaping a Plus as well at The Bay Haven Cottage. Note: Master bedroom bedroom so pretty/ restful and comfy mattress
