Great Stay and Great People!

Truly loved the River Villa Apartment. Helen and Peter were kind folks who were great to chat with, especially right there on the dock. They have two lovely dogs which was a plus for my dog-loving family. The bedrooms were stunning by the way! And I know in the future, I will always consider Choptank River for a getaway.

Peaceful river retreat

Calm and comfortable apartment with private entrance and beautiful views of forest and river. I loved the quiet forest setting, easy access to the river (via private dock and free kayaks), and outdoor patio with firepit and grill. The beds are comfortable, the kitchen is well-stocked, and there are lots of thoughtful touches. he owners are kind and helpful. A good base for exploring the Eastern Shore or just hanging out along this beautiful river.

Very Nice Get-Away Close to DC

The property was very nice, fitting and relaxing for our group of three. We had to spend some time indoors given the weather and work obligations: it proved cozy, even adapted to remote working with two Zoom sessions in parallel. The place is filled with light on sunny days. I'd just put a little caveat on the size of the kichen/living-room and bathroom (which is accurately described in the listing anyway). The bedrooms are very large on the other hand. You're also sharing the place with the owners upstairs. But you know all that before booking. The outdoors are great with access to the Choptank river from a private dock. The owners provide kayaks and a canoe which we enjoyed very much. The property is also conveniently located between the Delaware beaches and the Eastern shore of the Chesapeake for those who want to tour the area in half-day trips or less. Lastly, and importantly, the owners are very nice. In those Covid times, it was not a good time to mingle, but you'll get the extra attention. In our case, we received the great favor of a very, very late check-out.

Wonderful stay at this riverfront apartment!

My family of 4 had a wonderful stay at Helen & Peter's apartment! It's a private apartment that occupies the lower level of the main house, but was built in a galley-style layout that makes it feel very spacious and gives every room an amazing view. Everything was clean, and there were many welcome touches like fresh milk, eggs, butter, English muffins, cookies, and flowers waiting for us upon arrival - lots of condiments too which came in very handy for cooking!! The owners recently rebuilt the dock and in doing so added a brand new floating dock which my kids (5 & 9 years old) LOVED cannonballing off of :) The water was just the right depth for swimming and playing - my 9 year old could stand fairly easily at all times of day, and at low tide the water closest to the dock drops closer to knee-height - a perfect splashpark! We all had a great time using the included kayaks (2 adult sized + 1 slightly smaller, perfect for the average pre-teen) every day of our stay. The river is very calm with lots of nooks and crannies to explore, and Peter's advice on the tidal patterns maximized the distance we were able to kayak with minimal effort! Also, the internet service was GREAT!! We weren't sure what to expect due to the rural location, but my son was able to attend his online summer classes with no problems whatsoever! So happy to have found this gem!!! :)

Great Get Away Location

Peter and Helen are gracious owners who make you feel right at home! This is a perfect spot to relax and soak up the wonderful scenery on or off the river. Having access to the dock and kayaks was key for two boys to stay active throughout the day. We didn't know how much our dog enjoyed the water until our recent visit. It's an easy short 2 hour trip from Chester County, PA - can't wait to return. L. Smith

Beautiful experience!

Helen and Peter take pride in their rental! They make sure that everything is perfect for their guests! The extra touches such as the homemade cookies upon arrival to the breakfast foods waiting for you in the refrigerator make your stay perfect! Their rental provides you with the perfect setting to enjoy nature as well as the surrounding towns!

So wonderfully relaxing - lots to do or little to do

First, Helen & Peter are warm, welcoming people. Arrived, there were flowers (real) on the table, staples in the fridge, freshly baked cookies, it was a lovely 1st impression. The "apartment" was great for just the three of us, but the room our daughter stayed in had a lot of beds and was very roomy. Don't count on the internet all the time, but if you have Verizon, you can get it sporadically. The TV gets Netflix and other wired in channels, so if you must watch something, you can. But, go outside and take a look at the Choptank River. You can swim, canoe, kayak and even fish with a net. It's just peaceful. We went to St. Michaels our first day, went all the way to Tilghman Island and crossed the country's busiest drawbridge! The next day we went to Rehoboth, DE, so there were side trips one could make. It was the perfect get-a-way! Will be back!

Cozy Spot on the River

We just returned from a lovely stay at the Moot Point Farm River House. The property was exactly as advertised: a cozy retreat on the river, away from the hustle and bustle of urban life. We are from the mid-west and this was the last stop on a two-week east coast lacrosse tournament tour. We found the apartment to be a welcoming resting spot at the end of a busy day. We loved watching the ospreys on the river tending their nests. We also loved the dog friendly accommodations and found some near-by restaurants dog friendly as well – a definite plus when traveling with pets! The owners, Peter and Helen, live upstairs and, while not obtrusive in any way, were highly available for any of our needs. They seem to truly love sharing their home with others and took a genuine interest in the comfort of our stay and our lacrosse activities. Truly a unique property!

Awesome and amazing!!

This place is a gem and the proprietors are wonderful. If you want a relaxing and quiet getaway, this is it. You can hang out on the dock and read, jump into the river and swim, explore the river by kayak, or just sit and watch the ospreys and other birds. Helen and Peter are conscientious hosts who make sure their guests have everything they need. We'll definitely be back!

Special Get Away

Thank you Helen and Peter!!! We enjoyed our 5 night stay and great recommendations for the area. We were in town for the Golden Retriever National Specialty and it was great to have our own special place to relax after a busy day. It sure does beat a hotel room. :) Thank you also for the special treats for us and our boys. And special thanks to Sophia for sharing her home.

What a treat!

I spent a long weekend with my dogs at this lovely place. The property is beautiful, the lake is amazing. Waking up in the morning with my coffee sitting on the deck was a great treat. The house is very comfortable, the beds have nice mattresses. The kitchen has everything I needed to cook, etc. The porch of the house looking at the lake is fantastic. So calm and relaxing. The best part of all was actually the hosts Pete and Helen. Truly nice and genuinely lovely couple. They made sure I felt comfortable and at home in their property, yet were never invasive of my space and privacy. I am certainly becoming a regular renter of this beautiful place I was there this summer, and can't wait to see it in all four seasons. Thank you Pete and Helen! Nico

About the host

Hosted by Helen M Spinelli & Peter D. Taillie

Host profile image
We created a wonderful apartment to share with travelers seeking a comfortable place to rest and have an adventure. Avid runner, cyclist, skier and yoga teacher who enjoys travel, meeting new people and experiencing exciting places. Especially like entertaining friends and family at our home and sharing camp fires and paddling on the Choptank River on the Eastern Shore of Maryland. My husband and I have often traveled without knowing exactly where we would end up or stay for the night which has added to our experiences with our sons. Really like our home's rural setting but close to Annapolis, MD Washington D. C. and Baltimore MD and just 4 hours from my hometown of New York City.

Why they chose this property

My husband Peter chose this property and then created Moot Point Farm and custom built our solar envelope house. The Choptank River, a major tributary to the Chesapeake Bay, is fresh water at our upper river location which provides seasonal swimming for the whole family. Additionally, there is outstanding fishing and abundant wildlife watching since there is very little development near our part of the river. The apartment is 20 feet from the stairs to the dock.

What makes this property unique

Having been called 'a tree house on the river' by many guests since there is a oneness with nature which is afforded by the design of our home. Only removing the trees necessary for the footprint of the house and having almost three walls of glass gives you a very real sense of being outside when you are in our home. The ever changing view of the river is always enchanting as is the ebb and flow of the tide. Having raised our two sons (now 22 & 23) on the banks of the Choptank in our unique home has been a rare joy and provided a wonderful appreciation of nature in our children.
