About this property

Rustic, family, waterfront cottage, on a private, protected cove offers peace and quiet. This cottage has been in our family for almost 40 years providing a relaxing vacation escape for all. Wildlife abounds in this natural setting with almost daily sightings of loons, great blue herons, muskrats, woodpeckers, chipmunks and turtles. Endless hours can be spent exploring the cove by canoe or kayak. The protected cove offers a safe place for kids to try their hand at canoeing while within sight of home. There is a bunk house,or 'bunkie' about 40 feet from the main cottage where kids enjoy staying, allowing adults their own space in the evening hours.

Peaceful Getaway

Steve was great with quick communication to answer all questions that made for no surprises when we arrived. Great cottage with lots of space and lots to do - dart board and tons of games. We loved the screened in porch for late night card games and you can’t beat the view! The canoe was awesome to get out on and don’t let the weeds deter you - tons of fish! My 9 year old boys couldn’t get enough of pulling up all sorts of small fish and a large tasty largemouth bass right from the dock. Lots of big guys out in the river too! For swimming (and bridge jumping) we hit up some beaches in Washago and Franklin Park nearby. Thanks for sharing your place with our family, lots of great memories made.

Beautiful....only the view!

This cottage is Rustic with a capital R. If you don't mind ripped and thred bare furniture . You will enjoy your stay. It was realitivly clean. Mattresses had stains that mattress covers would have prevented. New pillows would be good. We thankfully brought our own. Kitchen was well supplied but we thought every time the fridge came on it would be its last. New stove though. It would be really nice to have a wheel barrel at the top of the steep hill where you park your car to load up your luggage etc.when you arrive. Saving trips up and down a very steep incline. I'm glad I had my husband's shoulder to lean on or I would be spending my holiday in the parking area. The view was lovely. Thought I would miss Television and internet but we got by without it. It would be a good idea if Mr. Horn had a matinence man come and clean the outside of the windows etc. Because there is what looked like years of bugs/pine needles around the windows. All in all we had a good week but just not our type of cottage. If you like hunting camp type of accommodation this place is right for you.

About the host

Hosted by Steve Horn

My two siblings and I grew up in Ohio. Our family purchased the cottage in the early 70's when our mother was a teacher, and we spent the summers of our youth at the cottage, swimming, fishing and boating.

Why they chose this property

We spent our summers at the cottage, but now that we live so far away, we are unable to visit as often as we'd like. It holds such cherished memories that we can't bear to sell the place, so have decided to rent it during the weeks that it would otherwise go unused.

What makes this property unique

The Severn River offers the unique opportunity to endlessly explore the river in either direction, while maintaining the overall look and feel of a lake. When you hear the word 'river' many people immediately assume there is a strong current and moving water. There of course is a current but it is only detectable in the few, narrow areas of the river. At our location the river is about a quarter mile wide with no noticeable current. Our cottage is on a protected cove which offers cover from the wind and waves of more open water locations.
