The whole place, and the whole creek, yours.

Hi, I’m Mike. We rebuilt this old waterfront house from the bones up so it could be the kind of place you don’t want to leave — wake to mist on the water, crab off the pier, gather fifteen around the table for a steamed-crab feast. A deep dock for the boat, kayaks at the slip, a hot tub for the evening, a fire pit for after. No town, no traffic, no crowd. Just the tide and whoever you brought with you.

Deep private pier

Bring your boat, or fish and crab right off the dock. Public ramp 10 min away at Savage Point.

Crab-feast tables & fire pit

Sixteen feet of waterfront picnic tables for a proper Chesapeake crab feast, then s’mores by the fire.

6-person hot tub

Warm and waiting when you arrive, with water views and quiet evenings.

3 kayaks + kayak slip

Launch straight from your own slip onto calm tributary water at sunrise.

Sleeps fifteen

Five bedrooms, room for the whole family or crew — reunions, getaways, celebrations.

Dog-friendly & easy

Bring the dog. Self check-in, EV charger, full kitchen, and room to spread out.

Great place for a quiet and relaxing stay in a beautiful area of the bay. The views from the house and yard are amazing. The pier is great for boating and launching kayaks as well as crabbing and fishing. The yard is very large and although there are neighbors it still feels very private.

This place is spectacular! The dogs enjoyed the spacious house and yard immediately. This is the definition of a relaxing getaway. We were lucky to have beautiful weather to kayak. Enjoying the hot tub was an obvious highlight, and making delicious meals in the kitchen.

I cannot say enough great things about this location and host! The house was gorgeous and the view was even better. Between the abundance of blankets, towels, and the most amazing kitchen — this is the epitome of the “perfect escape.” You’ll feel right at home the moment you walk in the door.

Ways to stay

Come for a plain getaway, or let us shape the trip — a wellness reset, an artists’ week, a crab-feast reunion. The quiet season is the secret.

The Chesapeake at dusk

Curated for you

A day with a waterman. Oysters off the float. Eagles at dawn.

The beauty is the draw — and we line up the rest. Charters, crab feasts, dock yoga, Blackwater Refuge, the Harriet Tubman byway, race week for IRONMAN.
