Potomac Rvr Woodland Cottage, Polite Pets welcomed, Central Air, Stunning Sunset

Fully renovated with stunning sunset views over the Potomac River in the front and woodland to the rear. A spotless single-level home less than 2 hours from D.C. Located across the street from the Potomac River Time stands still at Tall Timbers an almost forgotten Maryland treasure. Two of the three bedrooms are furnished as bedrooms. The third is used as a den with an ambiance fireplace, Smart TV and fold-out bed to supplement the living room sofa-bed. Well-trained polite pets are welcomed with advance written approval provided you agree to pay for any extra cleaning or damage charges incurred.

This modern and year-round retreat is equipped with linens and any other items you might expect in a well-equipped home, including bikes, puzzles, a Keurig coffee maker, Smart TVs with local channels, Wi-Fi, and fast internet. We are uniquely located 3 miles east of the Piney Point/ St. George's Island Bridge not far from where the Potomac River flows into the Chesapeake Bay.

There is an outdoor fire ring for wood fires, and the ambience of a faux fireplaces in the den and dining room. All windows are screened and open if you want to feel the breezes off the river and listen to the chorus of bird songs.

An easement runs along the side of our home to the water's edge however the slippery bulkhead stones make entry difficult. The best launch spot is at the marina or one of the many creeks or parks. Fishing and Crabbing for our famous Maryland Blue Crabs is a popular activity in our local Herring Creek. The village of Tall Timbers and the Marina are both easy walks. Picking up boxed lunches or great steaks at Wm Dents Grocery is a tradition. You will find a local watering hole and cafe in the back of the grocery. The famous Reluctant Navigator is at the Marina.

The Historic St Mary’s City (interpretive park), beaches, docks, lighthouse, and bridge at Piney Point and St. George's Island are all a short drive. We are happy to assist you in booking fishing charters or cruising the Potomac with a qualified waterman.

We used the house minimally for sleeping overnight during a family reunion trip and it was great for that purpose. Everything was immaculately clean and organized. The owner communicated with us about everything we needed to know and was so attentive to addressing anything we had a hard time with quickly. Rob and Lolly were so friendly and welcoming. Pros:- amazing books and cds collection as well as board games. - plenty of room to store shoes. - everything is stocked. There’s plenty of pot, pans, sponges, soap, detergents for all machines, toilet paper, shampoos, …. Etc. Cons:- when used at maximum capacity storage can feel a bit limited. We were 6 adults and 2 kids, and we mostly had to keep our stuff in our luggage the entire time. - the outdoor area is gorgeous but there’s a lot of mosquitoes because of the many trees.

Weekend getaway

We had some hiccups with a storm taking out the power (and subsequently water, cable/internet) for the first 24 hours of our stay. The property manager kept us updated and helped by providing water. Frustrating and inconvenient situation, but not at fault of the host or property managment!As for the house, it was cozy with adequate space for our family of 4 and 2 dogs. It was well equipped and had everyrhing we needed and was situated in a great little neighborhood on the Potomac. We were in town for a swim meet, but would definitely come back for a quiet getaway to rest, relax and enjoy all the area has to offer.

Relaxing getaway!

Excellent experience from start to finish. Owner was communicative, welcoming and very helpful. Property in a very quiet neighborhood with amazing views of the Potomac River right across the street from the house (you can walk over and stand by river to see gorgeous views especially at sunset). Property is as described. Very clean, fully equipped kitchen, linens and towels provided. Lovely cottage - perfect size for our family of four plus our dog.

Lovely little cottage

This was a wonderful home for a relaxing weekend with our family. We were looking for something close to the Naval base as my son was in town on a detachment. This was close and so relaxing. Lovely property, friendly neighbors and a comfortable, tidy home. We got there late and decided to add a day last minute and owners were very accommodating. Thank you for the lovely weekend with my kids!

Peaceful living and amazing sunsets

My son and I took a mom-and-son trip before he enlists in the Navy and found this gem in our former home area of Southern Maryland. The home was spotless, attractive, and quiet. The owners were very responsive and super nice. The sunset over the water was stunning! My son had a blast at the beach. The neighborhood is quiet and friendly, the kids giggling running home from the beach was perfect. It was also very nice to have 2 bedrooms and access to a washer and dryer at this point in our trip. I would love to bring my husband up there the next time!

Great Time!

My husband and I stayed for four nights in September. We loved the house and the setting, seeing a peak of the Potomac River and the beautiful sunsets at night. It was relaxing and quiet. The potential for the hurricane was looming in a few days making it cloudy and humid, but the house was comfortably cool. It only rained at night! While we were there we explored St. Mary's City which we enjoyed, lunch at the college cafeteria was a feast, Leonardtown had a great used bookstore that we enjoyed and an interesting antique store. A visit to the Piney Point lighthouse was interesting as well. We found the house well stocked for cooking. We took our small outdoor table top grill with us so we enjoyed several grilled meals. A Weis grocery store was a few miles away with a busy liquor store next door. The last night we ate at the marina which was fun. Friendly staff. We enjoyed our stay immensely and would recommend it highly.
