Description
We love our little slice of heaven and have designed it for peace, comfort and easy entertaining. Our home is a very well kept, has a gourmet kitchen (we’re foodies!) and is a cozy retreat. While at the same time it is close to the museums, concerts and city activities of Annapolis, Philadelphia, Baltimore and Washington DC. We are located in the small Colonial village of Chestertown. Chestertown is steeped in colonial history and boasts a fabulous year round Saturday farm market, fall Tall Ship festival, Dicken’s Christmas festival, River Boat cruises, Tall Ship cruises, fabulous restaurants, parks, rails to trails bike and hike trails, etc. Additionally, there is a brand new and absolutely fabulous fully equipped YMCA with a competition sized heated indoor pool & sauna, indoor pickle ball, work out equipment, classes, etc. Simply put, you can do as much or as little as you would like in this friendly little village.
