This was our second stay at the cottage, the first being back in August. As expected, the cottage did not disappoint and was everything that we expected and hoped for! A host family member welcomed us on our arrival with a warm greeting and bottle of wine. The pictures online do not do it justice; so much more beautiful, comfy and cozy in person. The deck and firepit are perfect for morning coffee and breakfast, lunch, dinner, sunsets, and star gazing; and of course daily visits from deer, squirrels, a variety of birds, and a fox. We celebrated Thanksgiving with family (6 adults) from both coasts and the cottage provided everything we needed, inside and outside. Location is approximately 20-30 minutes from downtown Annapolis and there are plenty of closer restaurants, grocery stores, etc within 5-10 minutes. The ability to spend time in DTA while having a secluded, peaceful, lake front cottage to enjoy was absolutely perfect for our family! We're definitely looking forward to our next visit!
