El Camino

Magnificent 26-acre waterfront property just off the Potomac River. This secluded, quiet, waterfront oasis guesthouse is the perfect weekend retreat. There is 1 bedroom and 1 bathroom in the house. There is also a pullout couch. There is a large dock for hanging out / sunbathing. There is not a full kitchen, but there is an outdoor grill and coffee. You are surrounded by nature - this is a true escape! If you're looking for the perfect weekend getaway, this is it! *Wifi is spotty! Do not rely on it!*

The space:
El Camino sits between the main house and a barn. The main house is a separate rental property. The barn will be locked and is not for guest's use. Please take a look at the arial photos at the end of the listing to see the proximity of the main house to El Camino. There is a front porch that overlooks Jutland Creek which leads out to the Potomac River. The dock beautiful - there are always eagles, osprey and heron flying across the water; crabs and fish swimming by the dock, and very few properties in sight. It is a very peaceful getaway.

Guest access:
Guests have access to the grounds and the shared dock. They do not have access to the main house or the porch on the main house.

The El Camino property was awesome!

The property was secluded but well kept. There's plenty of restaurants within driving distance. The property was quaint and minimalistic but provided all needs for a quiet weekend getaway. We'll definitely stay again!

Beautiful place to relax and enjoy being outside (with cool AC inside). View of the water from the cabin, great porch to hang out on, loved the easy access to the water for kayaking.

The perfect little cabin and retreat

My kids and I brought our paddleboards and loved exploring the water. My son (almost 12) was excited about and fully entertained by the crab traps and jellyfish. The property and area is so quiet and peaceful. The variety of birds was magical. It was the perfect getaway. for us

Awesome get away spot!

Nice short getaway with the wife at this lovely cabin. Very relaxing and peaceful in a great setting. Only downside was not being able to enjoy the dock as there was another family with kids that occupied it most of the time that was staying at the other cabin on the property. Also, not a clear view of the water from the porch due to the trees but all in all it was a great stay.

Peaceful Oasis

What a peaceful little oasis along the water! My daughter and I stayed here for a swim meet at St. Mary’s College of Maryland. It was a perfect distance from the college, about 5 minutes. The house was very clean, modern, eloquently decorated and equipped with kitchen basics. The bed was very comfortable, which is bonus when staying away from home. The doc was so beautiful and we enjoyed sitting and watching the ducks in the afternoons. We will definitely return when it is warmer and highly recommend this wonderful home!

Quiet retreat in the woods

This property is set back in the woods down a charming gravel drive. The log cabin is nicely appointed and is a perfect place for a quick getaway or extended stay. The dock was great for crabbing, luanching a kayak or SUP.

Cozy Cabin

We wanted a quiet break away from it all. The cabin is clean and comfy. Located by a lovely creek. Sat on the porch and listened to the birds milling about in the trees. We loved it.

Cute clean cabin for a couple/solo stay

This is a perfect little cabin for a couple. The photos listed are a very accurate depiction. We stayed two nights. We traveled here for a wedding so we really only used the cabin as a place to sleep/shower, but would love to come back to enjoy the area. The kitchen area has a coffee machine (grounds, not k-cup), a toaster, microwave, mini fridge. The cabin was very clean and the host communicated well.

Great Spot

El Camino fit our needs perfectly. We moved our daughter in to the dorms ant St. Mary’s and El Camino provided with a home base that was close to campus. The cabin is very nice, private and well appointed. It provided us with a vacation feel during the down time when our daughter had orientation, etc. if it is available next time we come, we will definitely stay.

Perfect Getaway!

Everything was perfect with his little cabin. It was spotless and had everything we needed. Due to the weather, we couldn't use the firepit and enjoy the beautiful yard, but it was very well maintained. The owner/manager was especially thoughtful when we had to change our date due to a family emergency. We are very much looking forward to renting it again for another getaway!

Great secluded getaway

El Camino offered a wonderful getaway. No one had rented Pizza Friday (the other building on the property) while we were there, so we had a very quiet and secluded stay. We spent a lot of time sitting on the front porch reading and watching the birds. The cabin was very clean and comfortable, and the property manager promptly answered all my questions while preparing for our trip. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at El Camino, and I hope we make it back there in the future.
