About this property

Cozy cottage on the Chesapeake Bay

Quiet peaceful home by the Chesapeake Bay. Wooded area with Loblolly pines and oak trees. Beautiful walking areas. Bird watchers dream...Bald eagles, Osprey, bluebirds, martins, buntings, woodpeckers, swans, geese, ducks, and migratory birds. Incredible views of the Chesapeake Bay at the mouth of the Pianktank.

Wake up to the sun rising along the bay and relax watching the sunset on the bay. Can go fishing off the dock. A small grill is available for cooking near the picnic table. The area is full of mariner history back to Captain John Smith visiting Gywn's Island. The charming area still thrives from oysters and crab watermen. Water activities nearby. Be sure not to miss the local markets and seafood festivals

Fully equipped kitchen, 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms.

Wasn’t what we expected!!!

When we got to the property, the neighbors came out with their dogs and watched us as we unloaded our car. When we entered the house we noticed that the front door and the living room didn’t have curtains!!! The whole feeling of this place felt weird, we decided not to stay at all

Perfect weekend

The house was perfect for our weekend. Great views! The house had everything we needed. Appreciated all the extras like toilet paper, paper towels, condiments, coffee, and more. Super easy to check out. Sidenote, the only TV is in the master bedroom. Would probably be useful if the TV stand had wheels so it could be pulled into the living room for everybody to watch a movie. The house is 15 minutes away from a small winery, with tons of wine and food options and the town of Matthews, with a lot of antique shops.

Great Stay!

Second time we’ve stayed. My niece has stayed here before, too. Thoroughly enjoyed our time here, even though we spent most of it away from the house with family nearby. We did get to see the spectacular sunset one night though. It was amazing!

Quick Get-A-Way to the Bay

Check-in and check-out was very easy and clearly explained. The house was very clean and tidy, no musty smell at all. Glenda, the host, was very accommodating and quick to answer any and all questions thoroughly. The area is absolutely beautiful with gorgeous views of the river and sunset. Overall it was a lovely experience for our quick get away, highly recommend!

Lovely stay by the bay

We had a great time staying at this property. The views were incredible. The area was wonderful. Not far from Gloucester. Several area beaches were nearby. The hosts provided a nice info packet for us. The place was clean and comfortable. Great place for a weekend getaway!

Peaceful property

The home was peaceful. Right on the water & there was plenty of pots,pans,dishes, & silverware. There was condiments in the fridge that were used that im guessing were also for our use but it didnt sit right with me using unopened food. There was only 1 small TV with no cable connections & no dedicated den/living room. My kids love to game together & this was not possible. There was no sofa just a day bed & 1 recliner. It wasnt as comfortable as I'd hoped it would be, including beds. Communication with the host was quick & I was offered a refund for some amenities that were incorrectly advertised.

Relaxing Weekend

The location was beautiful. Sun rises and sunsets each day made the trip as relaxing as I could have wanted. The house itself was clean, packed with helpful items, and spacious. For 4 adults, it was plenty of space and plenty of fun. I would do this trip again.

About the host

Hosted by Glenda L Siegrist

Host profile image
Glenda and her husband Loren have spent the last 25 years working internationally, with most of their time in East and North Africa, Russia, Romania, and Ecuador. They have four adult daughters who all grew up overseas. Glenda is a Nurse Practitioner and Loren owns a small fair trade vanilla business using vanilla from small-scale farmers in the Amazon. They both love traveling, hiking, and camping. Loren remodeled the bay house and built all the kitchen cabinets and door trim out of cherry wood.

Why they chose this property

We love this property due to the closeness to the water and the woods behind the house. Provides us with a lovely place to relax after a busy week.

What makes this property unique

You'll understand why we love it so much when you wake up and see the beautiful views of the water. Or when you are watching a storm cross through the bay ...it is beautiful to see the sky colors change from all shades of blues and greys.
