About this property

We hope you will visit our family-friendly vacation home on Maryland's Eastern Shore of the Chesapeake Bay. The home includes a private dock on the magnificent Wye River, with access to all of the many activities it affords, including water skiing, crabbing, and fishing. Situated on a peaceful 3/4 of an acre in a quiet neighborhood with easy access from Baltimore, Washington and Annapolis, this is a wonderful place to get away.

Looking for things to do? Play golf at nearby Queenstown Harbor, shoot some sporting clays at Pintail Point, or shop at the Queenstown Outlets. If you have access to a boat, take a ride down to Wye Island Natural Resource Management area for hiking and swimming. Read a book in the hammock, or sip a cocktail on the dock.

Have a boat? Bring it along and tie up! The low tide water depth is 2.5 feet though, so larger boats are better off anchoring in the deeper cove across the river.

The house sleeps 11, but with only two full bathrooms it is best suited for groups of up to six adults plus children.

Wonderful home with a great owner

We were in town for a wedding. Nine adults. The house was beautiful, spacious and comfortable. The owner John was very responsive. I had a few questions and he answered them right away to our complete satisfaction. We will be back.

Great spot

Thoroughly enjoyed this house. Beautiful location for inlet. It did look like there were a LOT of jellyfish in the water off the dock but that may not be a regular occurrence. Regardless we didn't let that stop us from sitting on the seats of the dock and relaxing with the beautiful view across the water. Really comfortable and well appointed house. Would love to come back.

Perfect for Family

Gorgeous house for nature lovers! We so enjoyed the screened-in porch and dock for coffee, and the beautiful neighborhood for morning walks. Nearby shopping, kayak adventures, and restaurants made this ideal for hanging with teens/ college kids before everyone dispersed back to school. This house offered so much we could not possibly have taken advantage of all of it! The extra room upstairs would be ideal for kids to hang without grownups. The house had everything you could possibly need plus relaxed vibe. Thanks for sharing your beautiful place!

About the host

Hosted by John Hardie

We are a family of five that live in the Washington DC area. We all love the water. John grew up in Maryland and spent much of his youth boating on the Severn River. Karen's family lived on a bayou in Louisiana, where she learned to sail, ski and fish.

Why they chose this property

Before the children arrived, Karen and John owned a boat and spent many weekends exploring the rivers of the Chesapeake Bay. We always preferred the quiet waters of the Bay's Eastern shore, and without question the Wye River was always our favorite. Its natural beauty is breathtaking, and the smooth water is ideal for skiing and tubing.

When we decided to look for a vacation property, we both knew it had to be on the Wye. We wanted a home that was not fancy or elaborate, but comfortable and clean. And most importantly, we wanted a home with ample room for our friends and our children's friends. We are delighted with our choice.

What makes this property unique

The large shaded back yard provides a wonderful respite from the summer heat.

Our close proximity to Washington, Baltimore and Annapolis make for a easy day trips.
