Water Front Retreat - Sunrise and Sunset Water Views - Lots of Amenities

The privacy of a waterfront home welcomes you to pause and enjoy the beauty of the Chester River. Water views from every window connects you to the flowing water and the expansive outdoors. The southern exposure welcomes spectacular sunrises and sunsets. Relaxation and inspiration is abundant in this buffer zone!

Located close to both Chestertown and Rock Hall, it is an ideal gathering space for families and friends with many activities available in the area. By boat, this energetic space is located near Comegy Byte, the Langford Creek and the Corsica River. There is a boat launch within 1/4 mile of the house and a boat slip at the house; water depth is 2.5 feet MLT. Fishing from the 70 ' dock does not require a license.

For outside gathering, there is a large deck by the water with tables for dining, a picnic table under the shade of a holly tree and a water view bistro table and pergola beside the house.

For cooking, you can enjoy our amazing chef's kitchen with single oven, dishwasher, and fully stocked with dishes and utensils, including toaster and coffee/tea bar. You can also cook outside on our gas grill or charcoal grill. If dining inside, you can entertain guests at our kitchen table/dining bar or enjoy the water views at our second dining table.

For relaxation and amenities, we have a fantastic living room and dining area with water views, full size washer and dryer, 2 TVs with Direct TV, high speed internet, books, games and more! We also have an outdoor fire pit and indoor fireplace for entertaining. Firewood is available for your use.

We provide kayaks and paddle boards for you to enjoy the water around the property. We also have bicycles for you to explore the surrounding landscape. A few crab pots are available to try your luck for the famous Maryland blue crab. Bring your own fishing gear to fish directly from our private pier!

Three large bedrooms. Entry level bedroom has a king bed with two single day beds. En suite bathroom with shower and soaking tub. Perfect for families with smaller children.

The second bedroom has a king bed and the third bedroom is a queen. Both have chairs for reading and large closets. One hall bathroom has full bath while the other contains a shower stall.

Great location!
Great location and property. Our family enjoyed the experience and fishing on the dock. We caught several cat fish and was a enjoyable experience. Some good restaurants 15 minutes away. Only thing was we couldn't check in at 4pm because cleaning wasn't completed yet, but wasn't a big deal.

Old Friends Reunion
Perfect place for our reunion of old friends- 3 couples. -Explored the river and bay cove in the kayaks provided along with paddles and life jackets. -Caught crabs in the cages and rode bicylces provided. -So much space to gather for good conversation, meals, enjoying the water activity and especially the sunsets and stars. Hope to have opportunity to visit this beautiful piece of Maryland again.

Wonderful and relaxing stay, with full of of activities
The place was clean. cozy, and well stocked for cooking and dining. We loved how the dock was set up and would have morning coffee out there, as well as dinner while watching the sunset. We took advantage of the kayaks, and at one time the kids had 5 kayaks out for a race around the nearby fishing shack and back. At night we were able to have a fire and make s'mores, followed by all the kids just laying in the dark at the end of the dock watching the stars. The home also had fun yard games stored in the garage, which we took out and played with. We tried catching crabs with our manual lines and their cages, but we didn't get any. We brought fishing poles with us and were able to fish off the dock - all the kids caught fish, though we unhooked and threw them all back since they were all smallish fish about 5 inches or so. I did snag a big fish when we went out on the kayak - alas, I was fighting for close to 10 minutes I think trying to reel it in until it snapped my line and taking my lure along with it. Maybe the next time were back, I'll meet the same fish again and have better luck.

Peaceful, Beautiful and Serene Family Vacation
We booked a short mid week stay to “get away” for a family get together and what a perfect place! Stunning views, beach house nautical themed throughout and absolutely stocked with anything you could possibly need. The attention to detail was beyond anywhere we have stayed. Comfortable beds, detailed instructions and where to go binders and Jared was responsive to all questions. The kitchen is the best stocked I have ever experienced with a rental. We loved the area - peaceful little harbor town- and the residents were so friendly. We fished off the dock, kayaked and had bonfires at night. It was a perfect trip and a much needed, serene get away for all of us. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home!

Perfect
Such a wonderful property! You can really tell that the owners put a LOT of care into making sure it’s as enjoyable as possible for their guests. House was clean and well stocked. The use of outdoor items was a serious bonus and ensured we always had something to do. We would definitely come again and highly recommend to anyone else. Side note, it’s obvious an artist lives here which made for such a beautiful setting. 😊

February Sojourn
My husband and I and our 2 dogs took a long-needed break in February. The house, amenities, location and weather were perfect. The constant calming views of the water and walks down to the Cliff City boat ramp each morning and evening were just what we all needed. The location is peaceful but provides easy access to Chestertown, Rockhall and other points.

About the host

Hosted by Jared Miller

Host profile image
I started visiting this general area over 35 years ago and was captured by the essence of a waterside community. I am a board certified holistic nurse, retreat leader, speaker and coach that embraces the concept of sea glass as a symbol of transformation ~ becoming stronger and more beautiful with winds, waves, and sand.

Why they chose this property

There is a unique aspect of the Eastern Shore of Maryland - it draws your spirit to the landscape, the water, the wildlife and the expansive sky. I love knowing that this space is literally connected to all others by the water - the Chester River connects to the Chesapeake Bay and then to the Atlantic Ocean and beyond! The Kent County area is rich with artists of all kinds, wonderful restaurants, local theater and sweet little shops. Having Washington College nearby is a joy with their educational and inspiring venues. After 30 years of ownership, I am still awed by the sunrises and sunsets from the house as well as the peace and serenity of the house.

What makes this property unique

The house is within 1/4 mile of a public launch on the Chester River. Watching or playing on the water and observing the watermen, boaters and waterfowl from the house and dock.
