Ideal retreat!

We absolutely loved our stay at Combsberry! It was the perfect mix of classic comfort and fulfilling adventure. We enjoyed the living areas which brought three generations together every morning and evening, relaxed by the pool and walked the grounds, and explored the beautiful bay. The property is beautiful and welcoming, and the host was very helpful and responsive. Unique find for creating special memories!

The Old Combsberry Inn was a great find

What a dreamy place to enjoy a long holiday weekend with children and young grandchild! Old colonial house with modern wings accommodated three couples and a toddler effortlessly, and could easily have held more. The location is not to be believed, big lawn with a lovely pool looking out over Island Creek (which flows into the Choptank). Extremely quiet and private. Huge, well apppointed kitchen with a table that sat 10 was our main indoor congregating area. There was also a lot of privacy as the three main sleeping areas were quite far apart, on either end of the more modern wings and on the third floor. We couldn't believe what a great venue this was!!

Great retreat

Our extended family stayed for a long weekend to celebrate our retirement and birthdays. We used the pool, set up games in the large back yard, shared meals in the kitchen overlooking the water, and retired to the library for drinks in the evening. It was a nice getaway, but close to Oxford and St. Michaels. The host, Jennifer, was responsive and helpful.

perfect getaway for our group of 9

The house was very spacious, the multiple communal rooms gave us great space for different activities each day. The kitchen is incredibly spacious and you never felt like you were crowding others. The formal dining room was perfect for our private chef dinner. The pool was wonderful and the grounds are immaculate. Jennifer was great at pre and during stay communication. This home is an absolute gem.

My wife and I, our two sons, and our grandchildren loved every moment of our week at Combsberry. The downstairs rooms were great. The kitchen was spacious, practical and it had just about everything that anyone would ever need. The dining room, the sitting room, and the library were all very comfy and spacious plus they all had great views of the dock and the water. Upstairs the bedrooms and bathrooms were all different but each was practical and comfortable. The grounds are beautiful and accented with majestic black walnut and magnolia trees, and the lawn was beautifully maintained. We kept the swimming pool in constant use, loving every minute. The house has every convenience, lots of room, great comfort and style. The grounds were sublime. As we were leaving every one of us announced, "Let's come back here again."

Memorable Memorial Weekend

The Inn is located on a tributary to the Chesapeake, offering tranquil and picturesque views that allow you to disconnect from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. The kitchen had ample space for our family to engage in communal food preparation that also featured a comfortable dining area. One evening we spent enjoying steamed crabs at the outdoor picnic table. A favorite activity was exploring the waterways on the tandem kayak. Kayaking permitted a nice tour of the magnificent houses all along the coast. We ventured into Oxford a couple of times, including having an excellent dining experience at Doc's Sunset Grille in Oxford. The food was delicious, and the ambiance was welcoming and true to the restaurant’s name. We also indulged our sweet tooth at the Scottish Highland Creamery - their ice cream was rich and flavorful, a treat we highly recommend. Shoppers in our group enjoyed exploring the Treasure Chest. The golfers in our group were impressed by River Marsh, which was just a short distance away in Cambridge, MD. The course was beautiful and well-kept, making for a wonderful afternoon of play. Throughout our stay, we appreciated the attentiveness and quick response from Jennifer, who was always ready to assist with any inquiries we had. Our stay at the Combsberry Inn was relaxing and thoroughly enjoyable. We wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone seeking a peaceful getaway filled with beautiful landscapes and comfortable lodging.

Beautiful, historic home on the water

We (myself, husband, our 16-year-old son, our brother and sister-in-law and their 3 and 6-year-old sons, and my husband's parents) stayed in July. Gorgeous, large home with big kitchen, two kayaks (we rented two more from Dockside Boat Rentals in Oxford, who delivered them), and lovely pool. Air conditioning worked great - even on the third floor. 7 minutes from town. Kitchen well-equipped. Plenty of lawn for the kids to run around. We enjoyed fishing on the dock. We would absolutely stay here again. Did I mention that this place is gorgeous??? A couple nit-picks: the grill really should be replaced and located somewhere in the shade. Clear instructions for the pool cover would be a huge plus for both peace of mind with small children and for keeping the heat in at night. Also, the alarm went off unexpectedly and we had no idea how to turn it off. It eventually did so on its own. Stairs to the upper floors may be an issue with older people who struggle with mobility, but it wasn't a problem for us. We really loved Combsberry; it is beautifully furnished and decorated to reflect its history, as it was built in 1730. Very peaceful location, perfect for exploring on kayaks. Jennifer was quick to respond with any questions. Great week and a lovely family vacation!

Spacious and Private

Writing this review is conflicting because I want to keep this place a secret. Our family of 9 adults enjoyed our stay Immensely! This historic home did not disappoint. The lovely tree-lined drive to the home was reminiscent of southern/plantation-like charm. The large common areas and private bed/baths gave everyone ample space to congregate and peaceful rest when so desired. The house was very clean and well stocked with toilet paper. Other basics included paper towels, dish detergent, trash bags and kitchen seasonings. The beds were comfortable and linens were hotel quality. Modern kitchen amenities made cooking easy, and the large kitchen allowed for multiple chefs. The coffee nook was a treat with options for K cups and fresh brew with filters provided. The pool was refreshing and there was plenty of patio furniture for the group. The river was peaceful for kayaking and fishing . We so enjoyed wildlife like herron, deer (including the young ones prancing around), fox, and the oriole birds who fed off the vine outside the kitchen. The magnolia trees were spectacular! There was plenty of shade and sun. We got crabs from Gay’s and were thankful for the mallets in the kitchen. We ate at Doc’s Sunset Grill. Food was fresh and good. Highly recommend the crab and avocado gazpacho. We played pickle-ball every day at Causeway park a few miles toward town (six portable nets on the courts along with several tennis nets.) We will return! Thank you, Jennifer!

A Combsberry Idyll

Combsberry provides a wonderful, romantic trip back to another time. The 300-year-old manor house is grand - elegant but comfortable - with modern conveniences that make it easy to straddle both eras. The property, with its spectacular water view, could not be more beautiful. Our family loved hunting for crabs off the dock, swimming in the pool, kayaking, reading in the library, and gathering around the huge kitchen table at mealtimes. And Jennifer, the property manager is a true gem, responding to our questions almost as soon as we asked them. (I never met anyone who answers texts so quickly.) Combsberry was a lovely experience for all of us.

Classic Country Beauty with Water Views

Beautiful older home with lovely property and water views. Plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms for all, and we especially liked the cozy den and fireplace. Cooking in the oversized kitchen was fun because of the view and close to outdoor grill. A wonderful weekend in the country but less than 10 minutes to all the restaurants in Oxford. The best of both worlds!! Property Manager extremely responsive and helpful.
