Peaceful and panoramic water views

This cozy cottage has wonderful water views from every room. The screened in veranda afforded up-close wildlife observations and lazy afternoon naps. Later, the firepit near the dock under the stars was a great ending to the day.

Peaceful & serene

We had a wonderful time at the Heron Cove property. The house was clean and had great amenities including the dock, firepit and screened in porch. My kids had a blast fishing and crabbing from the dock and we had multiple crab feasts. Nearby farm stands and activities such as kayaking made this a perfect balance of relaxation and action.

Why they chose this property

The Cottage at Heron Cove sits on a point of land on Gary Creek once used as a lookout by Native Americans. Enjoy scenic views of a private nature preserve and a historical homestead dating back to the mid 1600's. From the porch you can see down to the Little Choptank River or up to the living history museum at Spocott Windmill A short seven miles drive into Cambridge finds one with a vast array of amenities to include golf, shops, museums, spas, fine dining, marinas, antiques, an airport, and just about anything else one would want on your vacation getaway. For your sightseeing pleasure you are approximately one and one half hours away from Ocean City and Assateague Island as well as 40 minutes from Easton and Oxford. A quick drive finds you at the Blackwater wildlife refuge; although, it is not uncommon to see eagles, geese, egrets, herons or the nesting osprey from your porch at "The Cottage". In spring and fall come and enjoy the cry of the loons as they rest on Gary Creek during their migration.
