About this property

Nancy’s Touch, named after the amazing woman who developed and maintained the beautiful gardens, is situated in one of the best locations available on the northern end of the Chesapeake. From sunrise to sunset, the view of the juncture of the three rivers (the North East, Susquehanna, and Elk) that merge to create the Chesapeake Bay commands your attention. Soaring osprey, bald eagles, great blue heron and other waterfowl delight as well.

A Gem in North East, MD

Just stayed here for an extended birthday weekend with family. Our first trip to this area and already looking forward to returning. What a beautiful property and charming cottage! Betsy was terrific to work with. Right on the water with beautiful sunset views, large fenced area and gated deck for our pups. Well stocked kitchen, and other amenities you’d need. Very close to the town of North East, Charlestown, and hiking at Elk Neck State Park. Quite a few bald eagle sightings!

This is the Place to Stay

Nancy’s Touch is the best accommodation in Cecil County. We have stayed at many other places over the years and nothing compares to this one. The home and garden are gorgeous, the area is so private and serene with amazing water views. This house and property is like a home away from home. Everything you could possibly need is provided. My husband and I stay four times a year and love it more with each visit.

Another lovely stay

Nancy’s Touch is our home away from home when traveling to the area to visit with family. Everything you could need to enjoy some downtime admiring the water views and basking in the nature that surrounds this lovely home. The owners are wonderful and quickly responsive to any questions/needs that may arise. Would highly recommend!!

Fun with long term friends

We have a lovely stay at the very last week of October. The home was very comfortable and was spectacularly located on the water in a beautiful area. Top notch hosts!

About the host

Hosted by Betsy Wendt

We are two sisters (Betsy and Barbara) whose family has owned this property since the 1920's. As a result we spent weekends and summers here throughout our childhoods, and love the memories we have of growing up there. When my parents retired they built the home you will be staying in. The house may have changed, but the magic of the place for us never has.

Why they chose this property

Our mother (Nancy) expressed the specific desire that we keep the property in the family, that we name it Nancy's Touch, and make it into a business that would allow others to enjoy the beauty of the property. Her touch is indeed throughout: from the beautiful gardens, to her artwork, to the antiques she and our dad collected over the years.
The special benefit of the plan is that we and our families can also continue to enjoy it at various times throughout the year, hopefully for many generations to come!

What makes this property unique

The home and property are the epitome of peace and quiet, with unequaled views - enough that many of you may not even feel motivated enough to explore the easily accessed town of North East with its charming shops and wonderful restaurants. If you do venture out you will find elsewhere on this site a long list of sights and activities within about an hour's drive.
