An updated old farmhouse retains some of its original 1940s character with original hardwood floors. The 1980s addition offers ample room for indoor entertaining.
The first floor contains a fully equipped kitchen, mud/laundry room with an additional refrigerator, 1/2 bath, formal dining room, open game room, spacious living/additional dining room.

The second floor contains 3 bedrooms and 2 full baths. Bedroom one is a spacious master suite with king bed, and private porch overlooking the airstrip with a view to Price Cove.

A golf cart is provided and a dirt drive running the length of the property provides easy and private access.

Private

My husband and I took our boys ten and twelve over easter break. The property was very private. The expansive views of the yard looking out to the bay we're beautiful. The house was really clean and nicely decorated . The master bedroom had great views and the bed was amazing. It might be to buy the mattress! We were unable to put our boat in. Due to the water levels and the sludge. But we found a boat launch only ten minutes away. All in all, if you want a very relaxing vacation, this is it. Also local restaurants for great!

The West Annapolis Boyz Return!

Our group of 6 guys who have been friends since elementary school (all 60+ years old now) enjoyed another great annual visit to Cove House. Fish and crabs were biting. Sunsets and rainbows lit up the sky. And good friends reconnected, laughed, and enjoyed being away from the world for a bit. We will be calling again!

Wonderful spring family getaway

We had a great long weekend together! The house was clean, large with plenty of room and seating, and fully stocked for all our needs. The property was quiet, secluded and beautiful. We enjoyed nature, the golf cart, paddleboarding and campfire. Southern Maryland is a favorite of ours; thank you for making our stay easy, comfortable and lovely!

Great stay on a dreary weekend

What a fantastic property! We loved staying here and our family had such a great time exploring. Sadly it was a drizzly, dreary weekend but we had one nice day to go down to the beach and the kids enjoyed playing in the water. We loved the variety of porches to sit on and have different views and there was plenty of room for the kids to play indoors when it was raining. Overall a great experience. Thank you!

Beautiful isolated haven

We had a great time staying at this charming house in a beautiful setting. During the day, we swam, kayaked, crabbed and visited local points of interest. The beach, pier and firepit provided fun and relaxation throughout the day, accessed by the provided golf cart. Great spot to kick back and enjoy family.

3rd time coming

This was our third trip to the Cove house in Drayden. The owner has been very gracious with us and has really made my family feel very at home at what is becoming an annual vacation spot for us. My family loves to play at the beach and enjoy the kayaks on the water. This time we also were watching seagulls dive and catch their supper. We had a BBQ supper by the water and watched the sun set. The property is well maintained and the house is in very good condition. The golf cart to get to the beach and back is a very nice perk.

Perfect Vacation!

My family and I came for a 2 day stay to the Cove house and everything was marvelous. We met the owners as we showed up about an hour early and they graciously invited us in. They were very friendly the entire time and made sure we had everything we needed (even offering to chop extra firewood). The house is in very good condition and the A/C worked great even on 90+ degree days in humid southern Maryland. The high point is the private beach. My kids got a chance to to play in the sand and enjoy the sun undisturbed (we did not meet another person in that entire area) and they could make as much noise as they wanted. We went kayaking in a small inlet off the St. Mary's river which all of my children enjoyed. My 3 year old gave us a great summery of our vacation once we got back home, "When can we go back to Mr. Watt's house again?" My wife and I are already tying to plan another trip back.

About the host

Hosted by Rick Watts

Host profile image
My family and I moved to Southern Maryland in 2005 and have made St. Mary's our home. We love our community and are very active in giving back. I coach soccer at one of our local High Schools and serve as president for the local soccer club and my wife is an EMT with the local rescue squad. St. Mary's county is warm and welcoming with lots to explore.

Why they chose this property

Cherryfield is our dream property and has everything anyone could ever want. Whether its the private runway to fly in and out of, the private boat ramp, the 50 acres of woods to explore, large fields to run around and play, the abundant wildlife or the river to fish and crab and the 3 beaches to swim and just soak up the sun, Cherryfield truly has it all. The house has so much character and history and has tons of room to spread out and relax. The 3 screened porches provide a place for everyone to get away.
