You don't have to go far to feel far away from it all. The water view is stunning, described as breathtaking and exquisite. A rustic and cozy log cabin, in the woods, with a fire place, on a cliff, on the water. A great place to relax, walk the beach or nearby hiking trails. Come walk the beach and enjoy the expansive view from the deck, admire the fall foliage, or stay inside during cozy fall or crisp winter weather with a fire going. Look for fossilized sharks teeth on the community's private beach, or watch lightly falling snow on the water and trees, while you're warm and toasty inside with a fire going. Relax, enjoy the view and be at peace in every season.

This listing contains terrific information about my cabin and what you should know to have a most enjoyable stay. I hope you'll read to the end.

On clear nights, the cabin offers a stunning stargazing experience, away from city lights, where you can marvel at the brightness of stars and possibly see the Milky Way. Sitting on the deck, you can enjoy the peacefulness of the waves and the beauty of the night sky. A full moon adds an extra touch with shimmering moonlight on the water, making for a memorable experience.

Relax surrounded by nature and stunning waterfront views, or be active and walk the beach looking for shark's tooth fossils, or hike nearby nature trails. The large windows and full deck let you enjoy the view in comfort. The perfect weekend or holiday getaway place, especially with the cozy fireplace going. Located on a 65-foot cliff, it's just a short walk to a beach and a 5-minute drive to a private community beach. Stroll the beach and enjoy the excitement of searching for fossilized shark's teeth that have washed up from the Chesapeake Bay. Walk the paths in the community or the trails in the nearby American Chestnut Land Trust and enjoy the scenic natural beauty. Visit local museums and historical sites. Eat at local restaurants or prepare your own food and dine on the deck while enjoying the waterfront view.

If you enjoy nature and a calm, relaxing atmosphere, you're welcome to request a stay at the cabin.

Internet Service is generally quite reliable and speedy. Neither I nor guests have had any trouble using Zoom or doing other online video conferencing.

The main bedroom downstairs contains a king bed. There is a small, rustic, attached full bathroom, closets, and five windows offering direct views of the Chesapeake Bay.

The second bedroom upstairs is an alcove off of the dining room, so it has only 3 walls but is private from the living room. It has a twin bed surrounded by book shelves and from that bed you can see the Chesapeake Bay and have great views of the sunrise while staying cozy under the covers. There is a full bathroom upstairs and a closet for clothes.

The living room couch folds out into a queen-sized bed with an inflatable pillow top. Positioned in front of the fireplace, it offers great views of the Chesapeake Bay through the dining room.

Some Terrifically-Important-But-Not-Terribly-Exciting Details About Cleaning, Linens, Pets and Babies - Please Please Read This! Babies who cannot walk or crawl are welcome, but otherwise there is a minimum age of 5 for all guests. Some pets are allowed for a pet fee, 50 lbs maximum per pet (if larger, discuss with owner for a possible waiver). Most dogs under 2 years of age or who bark frequently are not allowed. If the total weight for 1 or more pets is more than 50 lbs, then at minimum an additional (and potentially more) pet fee will be charged. At the time you book your stay, please send a message and let the owner know your pet's age, breed, weight, barking habits & degree of housebrokeness. The cabin's pet guidelines can be sent in advance to you if you'd like, and if you book a stay they'll be sent to you to confirm that you and your much loved furry pal can follow them. After you schedule a stay we'll talk live over the phone, then a customized contract (the same one VRBO makes available to you to download and read before scheduling your stay) will be sent to you for signature. Now, wasn't that all very interesting?

No events, parties, disturbing of neighbors, boats on a trailer, or double-cab pickup trucks with a long bed allowed (too long for the parking area). Instead, come for quiet relaxation, stargazing, and nature at this cozy waterfront log cabin on the Chesapeake Bay.

- "Brett is the best host we have ever had! He makes sure to speak to you personally, know the details of the type of experience you seek, and is readily available to answer any questions! The view from the cabin is breathtaking! We experienced the best bird-watching ever, starting with a pair of eagles that would come to rest at a tree next to this cabin. Bring your binoculars to watch the eagles, osprey, seagulls, hummingbirds, pelicans, and so many more species of birds! You will also enjoy colorful butterflies going from one beautiful flower to another. We had our 8 and 10-year-old boys and went down to the private beach to walk, look for shark teeth, collect shells, and learn about jellyfish. Generally, it is swimmable, but this year, jellyfish were everywhere, including Point Look Out, St Mary's, and Solomon's Island. The neighbors told us every several years, there are a lot of jellies, and this happened to be the year. It was okay, though, because the boys were curious to learn about them and the blue crabs we saw. The cabin is close to many amazing landmarks and offers great hiking trails. If you are looking to relax or looking for an adventure, you can find both here. Oh, and the stargazing is phenomenal! We saw shooting stars every night we were there. This trip allowed us to not only have fun as a family, but to learn about so many aspects of nature! Brett provides everything you need and more. We will be back!!!"

- "This property was spotless and well-appointed. It had all of the typical starter things and much more - great soaps, plenty of Keurig cups, sugar, creamer, etc. The cottage isn't huge but the space is used well. Also all of the furniture was in very good shape - we couldn't be happier with our 4 night stay! Thank you." - "This is a lovely cottage that is perfect for a couple and/or a single person looking to getaway from a busy city lifestyle. Especially if you're in need of r&r. Julie is a great host.

- "The place was perfect, very clean and comfortable. Would definitely book again if ever back in the area." - "Nice room- quiet, clean, comfortable in a residential neighborhood. The host was helpful and answered any questions we had quickly." - "Needed a place to stay before I move to SC and this place/location was perfect! Great all around and great communication." - "Stayed with Julie for a quick get away weekend late in October. The leaves were just beginning to turn, so we missed it by about a week or two. Regardless, the area had lot of other thing to offer including a nice hike down to the Calvert Cliffs Beach. Upon our arrival, we found the unit to be very clean, but a bit on the small side. The decorum more then made up for it though by giving off a very cozy comforting, peaceful feeling. Not ideal for a long term stay, but certainly functional for a nice quiet weekend get away or a few days. We truly enjoyed our short stay and our host Julie was very responsive and available at all times if you needed her. This is a place I can see us going back to in the future."

Such a nice base for fossil-hunting at the community beach, Calvert Cliffs and Matoaka beach. We found a 17 million year old prehistoric White shark tooth!" - "Beautiful spot for a relaxing trip. Went with my best friend and we spent lots of time walking and exploring. House is fully stocked so we were able to cook at home several times but we also found some great restaurants. Property owners lived nearby so they were quick to help which was nice. Highly recommend visiting!"

- "We had a great vacation staying at this lovely property. Our host’s communication was perfect. We knew the where, when and how. The home was comfortable and very clean. Much thought has gone into making sure it’s ready to go! The kitchen is well appointed for folks that cook. 2nd fridge is handy too! We all slept well after active days on the water. The mattresses are divine and the neighborhood is quiet and safe! For a decent sized group of various ages this house has an ideal layout. The deck/patio is lovely for hanging out. Birds at the feeder for coffee time outside and great outdoor seating to kick back with a good book! Central location too!!!!! It’s a winner all around!! We would love to return."
