Secluded Weekend Getaway

Hudson Manor was the perfect place for a private weekend getaway with friends. There was plenty of space for us all and the grounds and house were in excellent condition. We will definitely be considering this home again for a stay in the future!

The house was good but there were so many things about the house that could have easily been fixed! example my daughter and my niece were sleeping in one of the blue beds, the was 6 if i’m not mistaken, and they could not sleep because it was SUPER cold, they could hear the wind from outside blowing!! it was VERY disturbing! Don’t get me wrong from the outside the house looks amazing! but when you go inside it doesn’t look as great! also

Family Getaway

We had a lovely vacation! The view is spectacular! There are two refrigerators which is great and ample dining space! The covered space around the pool is an added bonus. The pool lounge chairs are uncomfortable! The porch is very nice and we all enjoyed playing volleyball! However, the kayaks don’t have backs, so if you own kayaks, bring your own! And the house could use some updates. For example, the wicker table and chairs outside are falling apart. Finally, it seems that the house has been expanded over the years and so there are many step up and downs throughout the house. These are tricky to navigate for older individuals, such as myself! All in all, we had a wonderful time!

Beautiful location but the property needs a lot of TLC

We chose this house for a few reasons: A central location for us and our 19 guests, the number of bedrooms and bathrooms, a well equipped kitchen, dog friendly, outdoor space on the water and a pool. This was the only house that checked all of the boxes. The property is beautiful and the house was okay. The house and property are neglected and need maintenance. (One reason why it only got 3 stars.) I did send the rental company a punch list and I hope they correct all of the issues before renting it again. We did enjoy the billiards room, the pool, the dock, the fire pit and even the cemetery. Yes, the cemetery was cool. The beds were comfy and the bathrooms were clean with good water pressure. There was plenty of seating indoors and out and additional dining space was in the screened in porch. We did use the kayaks, but just know there weren't enough proper kayak paddles. The house was only a short ride to restaurants and to shopping. Finally, as Kyde S. said in his review, the host fees are very high. They added an additional 1/3 of the rental price to the cost, which makes the reasonable nightly cost a lot less reasonable. There was also a VRBO service fee. That was the other reason why it only got 3 stars. Again, we rented it because it was the only house/property that checked all of the boxes for a weekend trip.

Not worth it

It’s an expensive rental and with all the additional fees tacked on the total bill was crazy high for the property. The property manager was unresponsive through VRBO and a call was not returned. I had better luck via email but still seemed like I was putting them out. I was told there were kayaks although there was only 1 paddle and nowhere to launch the kayaks from. The house is a bit dingy and no seating area suitable for a party of 5 adults. Most glaring was the lack of privacy. There is a neighbor immediately next door with no fence or plantings between the two properties. There’s internet but not enough signal to reach the TV so no Netflix etc on a rainy day. Pool cleaners came without any notice to us. The setting is nice, right on the water, but that wasn’t enough to overcome the shortcomings at such a high price. Wouldn’t return.

Most beautiful view and setting for annual family vacation.

We had a wonderful family vacation at Hudson Manor. Loved that it had bedding for so many people as well as seating for meals. Very well equipped with 2 refrigerators and grills. It was great to have so many bathrooms. Most bedrooms had amazing views. Favorite thing about it was the covered patio area around the pool which was perfect for babies. I would’ve expected some of the maintenance issues to be nonexistent at that price point. Examples are a few broken fans, lightbulbs out, cobwebs on upper level, broken gate lock around pool, exterior needs power washed and majority of the beds were lumpy, way cluttered kitchen cabinets, broken grills still on patio, cooling system did not get as cool as we would have liked. Nothing that can’t be fixed. With all that said, the good outweighed the nuisances and we would go back. One bigger thing that we missed having was a great room with a lot of seating for movie/game nights. Otherwise perfect for our family of 15.

Gorgeous Waterfront Home for a Family Gathering

Hudson Manor is a gorgeous property. It's the perfect spot for a get-away with family and friends in all seasons. The interior is beautifully maintained with bedrooms for everyone and lots of common areas for playing games, pool, reading, or simply enjoying the breath-taking views. We enjoyed cooking a big dinner in the kitchen and then fit our whole crew around the large dining room table to enjoy our feast. While this particular visit was snowy, one of my favorite activities in warmer weather is using the pool by day and gathering around the campfire by night. The sunsets, spectacular starry skies, and views from the dock have been gorgeous in all seasons. I've enjoyed coming a couple of times already and look forward to returning again soon!

Fantastic House on the Water

My extended family stayed in this enormous complex in Cambridge, MD and we absolutely loved it! We had a family reunion, and the house provided ample entertainment for those of all ages (pool table for the adults and playground for the kiddos, and then an outdoor fire pit for all ages). The location was also perfect for my husband, a bird enthusiast, who saw an eagle perched on the post, and there a ton of geese migrating through and landing in the waters. The view of the river on the dock is amazing and we enjoyed sitting there and watching the birds go by. It was unfortunately too early in the year when we came so the pool is not open but we will definitely book again in future years during the pool season so that our grandkids can splash in the water.

Beautiful Location, Not a Rental for Winter

The grounds of Hudson Manor are spectacular. The view is amazing and I can imagine that in the summer, this would be an incredible house to host a party. This house is not, however, one I would recommend for the winter. Our group lost use of two bedrooms due to improper heating, all upstairs toilets were not usable because of frozen pipers, and a third bedroom was not usable because there were mice droppings in the pull out bed, likely due to a mouse seeking heat in a warm place. The rental company managing the property was nice to work with and attempted to care of issues when alerted. They were very prompt about the heating problems (which took place over a holiday weekend) and sent someone to manage them right away. As the heat wasn't broken, just insufficient, they reimbursed us for space heaters and gave us a refund for a portion of our stay.

Heaven on the Choptank

Hudson Manor is a beautiful and historic property that enchants its guests with contemporary conveniences. For instance, I was pleasantly surprised to find fully updated kitchen and bathroom facilities. It was obvious to me that the proprietors take pride in the cleanliness of the place and the comfort of their guests. Hudson Manor is also a true four seasons resort. To help keep cool in summer, the pool area features shade provided by the permanent canopy. As the interior is warm and inviting, it would be the perfect place to curl up with a book or talk by the fireplace during the cooler months.

Stunning Property on the Eastern Shore

I was absolutely blown away by the sheer beauty of this property the minute we stepped out of our car. The photos don't do it justice - you must see it for yourself. The house is very large and would easily accommodate extended families. The grounds are stunning - from the beautiful pool to the cozy fire pit to the dock overlooking the Chesapeake Bay, it was an incredible experience. I can't wait to go back!

A Perfect Getaway

This house is a perfect getaway from the city! It's a relatively short drive away from DC or Baltimore, but feels like you're a million miles away. The house is big enough to accommodate large family get-togethers, with plenty to do - billiards table indoors, a screened-in porch, a barbecue grill, fenced-in pool outside, a beach volleyball court, a fire pit, dock, and some kayaks to take out on the water. Downtown Cambridge is nearby where you can enjoy a nice dinner at several quality restaurants, or a walk around the pier.

Beautiful waterfront property on the Chesapeake Bay

What a beautiful property. The waterfront setting is stunning: the house is set on the mouth of the Choptank, with broad water views. The lawn is gorgeous, and the grounds are very well kept. Even the driveway is exceptional: it is a classic manor house in every sense. We spent our days by the pool, and the evenings around the fire pit. I'd get up early to watch the sunrise from the dock. We caught several crabs while there. The house is well-appointed and comfortable inside. We were thrilled with every aspect of our stay. I can't recommend it enough!
