Stunning Waterfront Hideaway on Michener's Choptank River. Special Rates*

Modern 2 BR, 2 BA River House has 180-degree views of glorious sunsets

Imagine two floors of picture windows overlooking a spacious deck, and heated pool, all gazing out at one of the most historic and scenic rivers in the country. The Choptank River first navigated by European colonists in 1612 and immortalized in James Michener's novel, Chesapeake, 350 years later, beckons River House guests to walk its woods, kayak or boat its shores, and explore its historic and tranquil surroundings. This is the heart of Maryland's Eastern Shore, renowned worldwide for its crab and oysters, yet situation in the middle of just about everything without drawing attention to itself. This is Pinch Me country.

The Eastern Shore is a large, flat peninsula occupied by three states between the Atlantic Ocean and the Chesapeake Bay--which is really an ancient estuary. There are no metropolises, no limited-access highways, no scheduled commercial airports. Less than 30 feet above sea level in most spots, it is etched by countless meandering tributaries, none 100 miles long, yet more than a couple of them--including the Choptank--2 to 4 miles wide when they reach the Bay. Weaving like blood vessels in a retina, the graceful paths of the rivers, and the marshes and grasslands they define, are reminiscent of the plains of Africa and South America. There is nothing like it in the Western Hemisphere above the equator.

One hour east of River House are the Atlantic beaches of Rehoboth and Cape Henlopen State Park in Delaware. An hour west puts you in the nation's capital, with Annapolis in between. Less than 90 minutes southeast is Assateague Island, famous for its beach camping, off-loading, and wild horses. Half an hour due south of River House are the superb dining and shopping of Easton and, a little further, St. Michael's and Oxford. Within easy reach north are churches with gravestones from the 1600's near Ruthsburg, the nation's first chartered college in Chestertown, and the largest weekly antique auction in the works, in Crumpton. Or head just three miles down the road to Denton and begin retracing the Underground Railroad and visit the birth places of Harriet Tubman and Frederick Douglass. both natives of the Choptank's shores.

River House offers a master bedroom with a king bed and ensuite. There is a quiet guest room on the first floor with a queen bed, a couple of steps from the second full bathroom. Additional guests could be accommodated with a queen air mattress. A wash and drier are down the hall in the laundry room. The living room provides Direct TV on a large screen next to the gas fireplace. There is a shared dock for boat access, kayaking and fishing.

This house has been a successful rental for the past 4 years and as new owners we are looking forward to providing the same quality vacation experience.

Here are some quotes from past visitors.

"Beautifully maintained home with stunning views"
This is our second stay here and this one was as ideal as the first. It's the perfect place to relax and get away from it all. From the pool to the hot tub to kayaking on the river, we really didn't need to leave the property!

"Very peaceful, private, and yet close to everything. The property is beautiful! "

"Peaceful and Relaxing"
This beautiful place on the river was just what we were looking for. A quiet, private getaway. The home is lovely, with pretty much everything we could need, including a grill for cooking out. We love the ocean as well, and being only an hour or so away from the coast we could spend a little time there, and then come back to our peaceful spot.

"Fantastic Stay at Choptank River House"
Our family spent an absolutely fantastic week at Choptank River House in late July/early August. We were looking to get away from the heat and crowds of NYC in summer with our 14-month-old and 2 dogs, and the River House could not have been more perfect. The house itself is stunning -- beautifully appointed, filled with natural light and very-well maintained, and we arrived close to midnight to find that the fridge had been stocked with an awesome array of local produce. The house is removed enough to feel like a hideaway but also just a short drive from town, and we were able to make fun day trips to nearby Saint Michael's and the Dogfish Head brewery in Delaware, although with the fantastic views of the river, our own large swimming pool and outdoor hot tub, we sometimes found it hard to motivate ourselves to leave the property.

"A lovely getaway, yet all within a 45-minute drive: Easton, Kent Narrows, St. Michaels."
Property was well-maintained; the pool was great, although we had some rain, we still enjoyed a couple beautiful pool days in the sun. Our welcome basket of fresh flowers, fruit and veggies were an elegant and very tasty treat: wonderful tomatoes, a variety of lettuce, delicious strawberries and more! We had a wonderful vacation

Beautiful home and wooded lot, just steps from the Choptank River. The owners are friendly & check to make sure you have everything you need to be comfortable. We arrived very late the first night and they left us coffee and cream in the fridge for the next morning. This property is very private, yet close to all shopping and dining. Crystal clean in-ground pool, dock with chairs, firepit, fishing poles, grill, kayaks. We will be back!

Pictures didn’t do it justice…

The check in process was very easy and the owners were very responsive and checked in via text several times throughout the week. The house itself was perfect for three of us and our dog. The large fenced yard was perfect for having a dog with us. The house well stocked and had everything we needed. The week we stayed was extremely hot with temps in the mid to high 90’s and humid but the pool was so refreshing on those hot afternoons. The property itself was very isolated and quiet which was perfect for us. There is a Walmart and Food Lion about 15 minutes away and a connivence store about 10. The fishing off the dock was the best week of fishing we ever had. Caught so many Blue Cats all week long the biggest being about 8 1/2lbs. We are really hoping for an opportunity to come back next year.

Riverside relaxation

Big, airy house on a secluded, peaceful lot along the banks of the historic Choptank River. Pool was ultra-clean at a perfect temperature. Short drive to all of the cool eastern shore Chesapeake towns. The hosts were hospitable, responsive, and they respected our privacy. We’d surely return to this unique property!

Hidden Gem For Sure!!

My husband and I wanted a quick, quiet getaway and this sure was the place to go! Surrounded by water and woods your feel at one with nature, and and added benefit was looking at the stars from the hot tub on the deck! The house is beautiful and fully stocked with everything we needed to make a nice meal for ourselves. The hosts were fabulous and in contact with us constantly from check in to check out! It has a pool and a beautiful deck that you can sit on and enjoy the peaceful sound of the water, I would absolutely book again and urge anyone who wants a quiet getaway to consider this property!!!! You won’t regret it!!!

great vacation in Maryland

We had a very relaxing time on our 2 week stay. Even though Alison & Chris were traveling they saw to getting any issues solved. the pool was great & the fenced in yard was great for our 85 lb lab but we had to reinforce some low areas for our son’s 17 lb skinny crazy dog that like to find ways out. All turned out find. The kitchen was great and we made wonderful meals and used the grill as well. there were great farm stands very close by and we ate in Denton a couple of times at Caroline’s it was very good. Went over to the ocean 45 mins on Delaware’s side and went to Lewes where you can catch the ferry to Cape May in NJ but we didn’t do that, maybe next time. Such a great place to stay.

Beautiful, private property for relaxing in nature

We had a great stay at this beautiful property. We really appreciated the large fenced in yard for our dogs, and the owner communicating to let us know where some small gaps under the fence were and offering to help block them (we have a very small dog who could have wiggled under- bigger dogs would be fine.) The king bed was so comfortable, and the hot tub and pool were delightful. We hope to return!

Wonderful getaway

Alison and Chris were very generous hosts. We were originally scheduled to stay during the weekend in June in which the sky was smoky and outdoor alerts had been issued. They kindly allowed us to switch to August and we just returned from a perfect weekend. This property is beautiful and well-equipped for a fun time. We focused on the needs of our 1 year old grandson. It was his first introduction to a real swimming pool and he loved it! The pool is just beautiful. We also found that we had an empty gas tank for the grill. Chris immediately ran out and brought a new one so that we could enjoy our cookout. I highly recommend this beautiful property!

Retreat to nature!

Wow! From the moment we turned down the dirt road for Moot Point, we were greeted with an hawk swooping to say hello and beautiful scenery. What an amazing experience we had at this hidden gem tucked away on the Choptank River with lots of privacy and all of the amazing resources of nature surrounding us. We saw hawks, osprey (with a nest right next to the dock), a blue heron that would visit across from the dock every day, cardinals and although not seen, we heard a woodpecker hard at work too. We fished every day from from the dock and caught tons and tons of catfish and some white and yellow perch. We used the seive net and found minnows and even a small eel. We swam, canoed, paddle boarded and mudded around with the texture of the bottom of the river being one of our kids (9 and 7) favorite things to get into and play with. We found tree frogs and toads galore and used the pool and hot tub almost every day. The house is wonderful with tons of natural light and space. The kitchen is well equipped to cook. The beds were very comfortable! Alison and Chris were exceptional hosts ensuring we fully experienced th Choptank River and Eastern Shores by giving us info on restaurants, historic towns, and more than enough things to do. Alison was kind enough to show us around the river with her paddle board. My husband said it was exactly what he needed and I agree. we all felt rested and rejuvenated by the end. I can't say enough about this place, and we can't wait to return!!

River Relaxation…Wonderful

This house is so nice! The outdoor setting is beautiful- river views, wooded and serene. There was a pool , hot tub and a dock ( which was perfect for sunset views, kayaking and fishing). Everyone in our group caught a fish. The yard was gated if you bring your dog. I miss it already.

A Choptank/Moot Point New Year!

My wife and our 4yo dog, Milo had the pleasure of staying at Ali and Chris' lovely property over New Year's week. We had a grand time celebrating our 30th Anniversary and enjoying both being surrounded by nature while also being pampered by all of the little touches provided. Ali and Chris were both welcoming and caring hosts while also being always respectful of our time away. From the well stocked kitchen, to the hot tub warmed and ready, to making recommendations for local restaurants, parks, trails, to fantastic views. to the large private dock out to midst of the river, the dog bed thst Milo loved, to just being friendly, and gracious...one couldn't have asked for better. Milo, in particular loved walking along the river, and the large completely fenced in natural back yard to run around. One of my favorite things was coffee in the morning on the deck watching hawks with Milo...he slept for 3 days after we got home! We also had fun exploring the area and look forward to doing so again on a potential future visit. Thanks to Ann, and Ali, and Chris, and Emily, and Becca...for being so welcoming, kind, and warm. And for sharing your slice of paradise for a while. Hoping to come back soon if you will have us. Love to all. -Bridgid, Larry, and Milo.

We had a wonderful time, a real getaway.

The house and property were beautiful! Plenty of room for 5 of us and 2 dogs. We were in the pool daily and it was mostly shaded all day, which made it great for avoiding sunburns and the heating kept it a nice refreshing 79 degrees all the time. The hot tub was nice and hot and relaxing. The yard was fully and securely fenced, my dogs always look for weakness in fences and they didn't find any, great for my peace of mind. The trail to the dock was pretty and well maintained. My kids learned to fish and caught their first fish, they were so excited! All the kayaks and vests and paddles were very nice. The kids learned to kayak and had a wonderful time on the river. The more experienced adults had a lot of fun on the water too. We had a nice drive to Cape Henlopen and fun at the beach. Getting to stores and restaurants didn't take long either. Sitting around the fire pit, next to the river was a great place to see shooting stars too. Really love this place, Thanks for letting us stay!
