Quiet Eastern Shore MD
Very quiet and peaceful location but still near great places to see and eat at. Reed Creek has almost no traffic and very pretty to explore on the kayaks, canoes and paddle boards that you can borrow at the cabin. Creek is fun to swim in. Lots of farm stands around and cabin has everything you need to cook. My daughter loved walking the Lama's and there are great roads to bike on in the whole area.

The cottage was wonderful and there was plenty of space for oir group of seven people. We selected this location because of all the fabulous reviews and it did not disappoint.

Wonderful retreat
Our family had such a lovely stay at the river house/farm. The house itself is very comfortable and graciously supplied and managed - it's got everything you need, unlike many corporate rentals. The river is very quiet with very few houses nearby, a dock for swimming and kayaks for play. The surrounding towns are very charming as are the hosts and the farm. Highly recommend.

Pleasant home by river, with visiting llama
We were 5 adults whose needs fit well with this property. One guy went fishing while 3 others went kayaking. A couple of us went biking. All of us enjoyed swimming, especially with a little beach a short walk from the house. A unique feature was a visit by a llama, brought to the house by our host. There was plenty to keep us occupied for 4 days. We definitely want to go back.

wonderful property
We enjoyed meeting the hosts and their llamas and emus. The home had everything we needed for our stay, and the view of the water from the house could not be better. We watch the sunsets wherever we go, and the colors were spectacular. There were plenty of things to do, and the restaurants were a short drive away. Thank you for sharing this property with others.

This looks like a lovely property
Unfortunately, due to health and personal reasons, I had to cancel my stay at the last minute. Unfortunately it was well past the refund date, but that was not the owners fault. That said, were I to be in the area again, I would definitely consider staying here.

Relaxing Waterfront Getaway
This property is perfect for nature lovers and people trying to get away from life’s hustle and bustle. We saw bald eagles, heron, egrets & lots of jumping fish from the private dock. Sunsets were magical. We’ll definitely be back.

Lovely getaway
Cute cottage tucked back behind the llamas and emus at the main farm. More than enough space for 5 of us. Plenty of kayaks, SUPs, canoes with an easy launch area next to the dock. Just watch for the amazing huge orb weaver spiders in the evening on the dock and path down to it!

Peaceful and Comfortable
We loved our stay. Mornings on the deck sipping coffee and listening to a symphony of birds in the trees while looking out over the river were lovely. We spent a whole day enjoying the water and appreciated the life vests, sun umbrella to cover the dock benches, and variety of kayaks and canoes to use. Our six year old loved swimming in the shallow water around the dock.

This place is AMAZING
Absolutely peaceful and beautiful. Feels like a mountain setting on a Chesapeake Creek. Everything about it was great. Stores, shopping and restaurants are fairly close by. Doug was a great host. He let us borrow a fishing rod to fish off the dock. We will definitely be back in the near and far future. To understand how wonderful it is, you have to experience it yourself. You will not be disappointed. I cannot wait to return.

Quite and cozy
Just arrived home from our stay at Spring Cove Farm and I wanted to write my review while it's all fresh. This cozy home is not glitz or glamour, but you can easily find it in nearby Annapolis if that's your thing. It’s on a beautiful farm with trees, trails, fields and a llama or two. Our family is from both coasts, so we were there for the re-connection, peace, quiet and water view. It had all the amenities we wanted to live comfortably during our stay. The "innkeeper" Doug was very welcoming and accommodating and the property is absolutely beautiful. I just can't rave about it enough.

Eastern Shore Relaxation
This is my 2nd visit to Doug’s place with friends and family. This secluded and beautiful property in person is better than advertised. The pictures can’t capture the true beauty of the property. The mornings and evenings especially are so tranquil and relaxing. The mist on the morning water is incredible. The views from the deck are like an advertisement for why people love the Eastern Shore. There is plenty of wildlife to add to the beauty of the farm and the waterfront. There are plenty of canoes and kayaks for enjoying the creek, which is wide and tranquil. Doug went out of his way to help us with a place to launch our boat. He was very attentive and available for anything we needed. The house is clean and is the right size for 6-8 guests. Although it is hard for me to spend much time inside with such wonderful scenery waiting outside. It truly looks like a storybook scene as you walk down to the pier as the mature trees provide the perfect canopy for your short journey to the water. We saw wild turkeys in the field and on the tree lined road of the farm, Great Blue Herons and Bald Eagles as well as Blue Crabs and many species of fish. This property does the Eastern Shore of Maryland proud and Doug is as good of a host as you will ever encounter. He is there to help but never in the way. I have been to many places but when it comes to the beauty of nature and the serenity of this waterfront property along with a gracious and helpful host, this one tops my list. If your looking for a quiet family and or friends retreat and recharge, this is your place. There are great waterfront restaurants only a few minutes away but I prefer to eat at the house as it gives me more time to enjoy the beautiful views and enjoy nature. I will keep coming back.

Lovely waterfront cottage
We had a great time on our weekend getaway! The house was clean and comfortable. Douglas was a wonderful host and made sure we had everything we needed. The visit with the llama was a highlight of the weekend! The house is in a very quiet area full of nature sightings but not far from shopping and restaurants (Doc's Riverside Grille in Centerville has fantastic crab dip!) There were enough kayaks available for our group of 6 to all go out together (just check them for critters before using). Would highly recommend as a great place to gather with family or friends!

Waterfront, country-cottage charm
We were in the heart of nature with tree frogs, Katydids, Imperial moths, and other winged creatures who clung to the glass patio doors at night for perfect viewing from inside! We were fascinated! A Barred Owl swept down to the welcome mat for the purpose of capturing a fat and juicy cicada! The neighborly 4-H girls came to the cottage with two llamas and invited us to walk with them to give the llamas a dip in the creek - comical! The llamas were adorable and well-behaved when we helped farmer Doug transfer (walk) them to another location due to the impending heat index. We fished off the pier/dock, catching/releasing several catfish and others. While fishing, we would see occasional sea nettles (jellyfish) so we knew to swim in the afternoons. The warm water is shallow and smooth-bottomed, and ok to splash around in. Low tide presents a beach! Doug has a shed filled with fishing poles, kayaks, beach chairs, tubes, and more, for your use. We were invited to pick any produce we would find. The house was very climate-controlled comfortable with its two-zone air conditioners and ceiling fans in the living room and dining room. The king bed and linens were cozy. The library has a trundle bed, perfect for lounging and perusing some very old books handed down by his family! The kitchen boasts a pantry filled with spices, food wraps, and other typical items you might need to make meals. The sink base cabinet is stocked with household cleaning products you might need to use during your stay. The washer and dryer area has shelves upon which you will find laundry detergent, extra paper towel rolls, bath tissue, etc. Suggestion: if you consume an item, please replace it for the next family. We did :) Picturesque in natural simplicity, yet only minutes from grocery stores, McDonald's, Family Dollar, Dunkin, Queenstown Outlets, thrift and consignment shops, etc., this was our home-away-from-home for a glorious week! We enjoyed being a part of Doug's homestead and would visit again!

Peaceful week on the water
This is an isolated house on a farm, overlooking the water of Reed Creek, Maryland. The house was perfect for our family of 7 and a small dog. The view and the dock for our boat were great. We did not expect to have access to canoes and kayaks which we took full advantage of. One downer was the sea nettles, (jelly fish) In the water. They can be a problem in the hot dry weather of July. Our 10 year old got stung, which made us stay out of the water for the rest of the week. If you want to swim, don’t go at this time of the year. We spent a lot of time on the deck which was shaded most of the time. The private dock is a short walk around a small creek. There are mowed trails nearby for walking. The house was well furnished and had everything we needed. As for cleanliness, it was dusty. We had to vacuum to keep our crawling baby from finding dust bunnies. Other than that the kitchen, bathroom and bedrooms were clean enough with fresh linens, towels on each bed and fresh flowers on the table. Our host, Doug lives on the property and was attentive without being intrusive. Overall, it was a good week.
