Summary:
Welcome to our Chesapeake Oasis! Quiet Queenstown is a beautiful and historic part of Maryland's Eastern Shore bordering the Chesapeake Bay. We welcome you to enjoy a home away from home at our 4-bedroom ranch-style house. Off the beaten path and perfect for multi-generation families, you'll enjoy the privacy of being off the main road but within a short drive to all that the Eastern Shore has to offer. Relax, unwind, and enjoy!
The Space:
This is a 1-story, 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath property with a beautiful, communal kitchen overlooking the back yard and the cove. The fully-appointed kitchen includes a large island with a breakfast table for groups who like to socialize around good food. We also have a formal dining room and a wine bar with temperature-controlled cooler. The en suite primary bedroom features a king bed, window seats overlooking the cove, and a large internet-enabled smart TV. The three other bedrooms feature one king bed, one queen bed, and one bunk bed (twin XL on top and queen on the bottom bunk). All four bedrooms have internet-enabled smart TVs with wi-fi apps for you to log in to your favorite streaming services. An additional office space features a pull-out with full size mattress, and a 65” smart TV, perfect for movie nights! Bring your friends and family to enjoy your stay with the variety of bedroom options available.
Guest Access:
Guests have access to the entire home, including the wide-open front yard and fenced-in back yard, the dock, and the laundry. (The garage is currently reserved for storage.) Guest internet is included with your stay; fiberoptic service to the house provides terrific wi-fi speeds for your devices in the +500 Mbps up/down range.
With Sadler's Cove in our back yard, you'll have easy access to the water if you choose to bring your own canoe or kayak. The bucolic views of the neighboring farm and the serenity of Sadler's Cove lend themselves to a slower pace and peaceful moments on the back deck or around the firepit with your favorite beverage or glass of wine. The conserved forest on the opposite shore is home to blue herons, hawks, bald eagles, terrapins, and a multitude of other wildlife.
The Neighborhood:
Perfect for relaxing and enjoying water activities and the scenic beauty of Maryland, Queenstown is located on Maryland’s Eastern Shore by the tip of the Wye River, a tributary of the astounding Chesapeake Bay. Our home, while private and set off the main road, is actually located within 10 minutes of local attractions.
Whether you're hitting the links at one of the local public golf courses, shopping at nearby Premium Outlets, or renting a kayak or enjoying the visitor experience at the 510-acre Chesapeake Bay Environmental Center, you’re only a short drive away.
Nearby Kent Island offers some of the world’s best seafood, delightful local wineries, fishing/crabbing/sailing charters, and romantic sunset cruises. Cyclists and power walkers can enjoy the 7-mile Cross Island Trail, stretching from nearby Long Point Park across the width of Kent Island.
If you're interested in traveling further afield, dynamic Annapolis and historic St. Michaels are each 30 minutes away. The monuments, museums, and sports venues of Washington D.C. are just under an hour west of us, Baltimore is an hour to our north, and the Atlantic Ocean beach resorts are just over an hour to the east. Truly a central location that provides easy access to multiple vacation opportunities.
Getting Around:
We recommend a rental or personal car being used to navigate around Queenstown and to/from our home. There is ample parking provided at the house and no easy access to public transportation in the area.
