Pet-Friendly Pond Cottage • Nature Escape Near Beaches

Welcome to your peaceful lakeside retreat.

Escape the crowds and unwind in this charming waterfront cottage nestled among the pines on Maryland’s beautiful Eastern Shore. Whether you’re looking for a romantic getaway, a quiet work retreat, a weekend of fishing, or a relaxing place to reconnect with nature, this cozy studio cabin offers the perfect balance of comfort, privacy, and natural beauty.

Wake each morning to peaceful lake views, the sounds of birds and wildlife, and spectacular sunrises over the water. Spend your afternoons kayaking, fishing for bass, watching families of ducks and Canada geese glide across the pond, or simply relaxing with a cup of coffee while enjoying the tranquil surroundings.

Although you’ll feel tucked away in nature, you’re still conveniently located within an hour of Maryland and Delaware’s most popular beaches, making this the perfect home base for exploring the Eastern Shore.

The Space
The cottage features an open-concept studio layout with soaring vaulted ceilings, exposed wooden beams, and abundant natural light that creates a spacious yet cozy atmosphere.

Inside you’ll find:

• Comfortable Queen bed with quality linens
• Futon for additional sleeping space
• Full bathroom with shower
• Fully equipped kitchen with full-size appliances
• Dining area
• Smart TV
• Dedicated workspace with desk
• High-speed Wi-Fi
• Coffee station stocked with complimentary coffee
• Fresh towels and linens
• Air conditioning and heating

Whether you’re staying for a weekend or an extended visit, you’ll have everything needed to feel at home.

Waterfront Living
One of the best parts of staying here is stepping outside to enjoy the peaceful millpond.

Guests are welcome to:

• Fish from the property (Maryland fishing license required)
• Bring a kayak or small non-motorized boat
• Watch abundant local wildlife
• Enjoy beautiful sunsets over the water
• Relax among mature pine trees and peaceful surroundings

You’ll frequently see ducks, Canada geese, turtles, herons, songbirds, and other native wildlife throughout the year.

Please note that the pond is intended for fishing and boating rather than swimming.

Great Location
Perfectly situated for exploring the Delmarva Peninsula.

Approximately:

• 5 minutes to Sharptown Cherry Beach (swimming, boat launch, jet skis, and fishing)
• 1 hour to Ocean City, MD
• 1 hour to Rehoboth Beach, DE
• 1 hour to Bethany Beach, DE

Whether you’re planning beach days, antique shopping, hiking, kayaking, or simply relaxing, you’ll have plenty to enjoy nearby.

Pet Friendly
We know pets are family! Well-behaved dogs are welcome with approval. Because the property is unfenced and surrounded by wildlife, dogs must remain leashed whenever outdoors.

Important Information
This property uses private well water, which is very common in this rural area.

Due to naturally occurring iron in the groundwater, the water may occasionally have a light brown or orange tint, particularly after periods of heavy rain or changes in groundwater conditions. While the water is safe for bathing and household use, we provide complimentary bottled drinking water for every guest for the duration of their stay for your convenience.

You may also notice occasional iron staining in toilets or sinks—this is simply a natural characteristic of the local well water and not a cleanliness issue.

As this is a waterfront property, nature is part of the experience. Seasonal algae levels in the pond may vary throughout the year, and ducks and geese frequently visit the shoreline. While we do our best to keep the property looking beautiful, wildlife doesn’t always follow the rules—and that’s part of what makes this peaceful setting so special.

We Can’t Wait to Host You
Whether you’re planning a romantic escape, a fishing weekend, a remote work retreat, or simply a chance to slow down and reconnect with nature, we’d love to welcome you to our little lakeside cottage.

Come experience peaceful mornings, star-filled nights, and the quiet charm of Maryland’s Eastern Shore.
