USNA Visit
Trip from Denver to see our son at the academy. Place was all that was advertised - clean, well appointed, comfortable, nice neighborhood. Its not far from the academy in terms of miles but you have to travel a lot of backroads to get there. We enjoyed our stay and would stay here again.

The BEST place for a getaway!!
Enchanting West River Retreat is the absolute best place for a vacation!! I am not sure where to start bragging about this property. The house is amazing, view of the river unbelievable, proximity to Annapolis is just 25 minutes - so we had the best of both worlds (downtown and a quiet oasis). Highly, highly recommend Pirates Cove for dinner and live music. While just the two of us, the house can easily accommodate families or friends and is the PERFECT place for entertaining. The weekend was too short and we did not have time for all of the activities (kayaks are provided on the pier). We cannot wait to go back!!

Bay view
Worked out great for some of our family to stay while celebrating Nan’s 90th at Pirates Cove. Good restaurants close by and Howes crabs were tasty. Kids loved fishing and kayaking. House was charming with lots of extra supplies. Hated to leave the wonderful view.

Relaxing Weekend
This property was exactly what we were looking for in our weekend stay visiting our Midshipman. The cottage was only a 30 min drive to the Yard and provided a peaceful retreat from the hussle/bussle of DTA. The cottage offered expansive water views and the outdoor space/dock was perfect for watching the boats and wildlife. The kitchen was amply stocked formour needs and the beds were comfy. Thanks for an excellent weekend, we plan to come back!
