Family reunion and USNA football game

This location is perfect for attending a Navy football game as it is within walking distance of the stadium. The house is modern, spotlessly clean and was well set up for our group of seven adults. We especially enjoyed the screened porch and the lovely back yard.

Great house, location and hosts!

We have been staying in Annapolis for 2+ years now (son is at the Academy) and this was one of our favorite places so far! The house was great and the hosts were great communicators. Spotless house, and upon entering, having a gift bag with a bottle of wine and food to feed the Koi was a great touch! The Koi are certainly shy though! The neighborhood was great, close to the Stadium, Naval Bagels and really everything. Minutes to downtown Annapolis and a great house to come back to at the end of the day and relax on the screened in porch. We can't wait to stay there again.

Doug and Kris are wonderful host and their home is by far the best stay in Annapolis especially if your a Navy Football fan. The stadium is a 5 min walk and close to everything you enjoy in Annapolis. The neighborhood is awesome and friendly. We stayed here 3 times and will always be our first choice when we travel to Annapolis !

Road trip

The property is very nice, with extreme privacy, multiple spaces in which to relax. It is well stocked with linens, dishes, cookware, cooking basics (spices, etc.), games, outdoor equipment, and basic first aid supplies. It is located conveniently for groceries, gasoline, and visits to the historic downtown area. We highly recommend the property.

Beautiful home in a lovely neighborhood

Love this place! Spacious and beautifully furnished with a fully-stocked kitchen and surrounded by a lush Japanese garden that houses a family of cardinals. The beds are comfy and the bathrooms are luxurious. The location is close to everything. The hosts are wonderful - very thoughtful and easy to contact with questions. Thank you Kris and Doug for sharing your home with us.

I can’t say enough about the owners

This is our 4th time staying at this house, we just love the layout and elbow room the ranch provides. Great location by the stadium, super convenient to everything. We had a travel delay and Kris and Doug bent over backwards to help us solve our issue, including recommending an auto shop to fix our car. Very easy to communicate with, very kind and understanding, very responsive. We’ve enjoyed renting from them for the last 3 Easters in Annapolis.

It was perfect!

Everything this house boasts, it delivers and then some! It is the perfect location to be close enough to the city for dining and shopping and also a quiet refuge from all the excitement of the city! If you want to explore Annapolis, this is the house to have truly the best of both worlds!! Thanks again Doug and Kris

Great location, Grewt house

We chose this property to attend a Navy football game. It was within walking distance to the stadium and in a greet neighborhood. The house had all one could ask for. The kids had tv, games, and a koi pond. As an extra bonus we got to pet the neighbors dog, a super friendly guy who helped our kids not miss our dog as much! The home is about 3 minutes from downtown and all the great shops and restaurants. Overall the home, people, and places made Annapolis one of our favorite family trips.

Huron House radiates peace and calm

My family had a wonderful stay at Huron House. The house is spacious and beautifully decorated. It felt like a peaceful and calm respite from this busy world. The interior takes inspiration from nature, with wood, natural colors, soft lighting and beautiful artwork. The yard is lovely as well, with lots of green space and a delightful koi pond. I never knew I could get so much enjoyment by watching and feeding koi! It's a nice neighborhood too, with many people taking walks. And it is located close to anything you might want to do in the area. I would definitely love to stay again.
