2 Bedroom Cottage in Cambridge
Close to Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge and the Harriet Tubman Center, enjoy peaceful days at our secluded waterfront cottage on Church Creek. Two miles from a main road, and our closest neighbor is across a cove, our estate offers 50 acres of privacy and one of the best waterfront views on the Chesapeake. Relax, enjoy a view from every window and nature all around you. Excellent walking, swimming (in-ground pool-May 3 -Oct 1), great birding and bicycling. Launch your kayak from the backyard. Perfect private getaway!
The space
Plan your escape at Harwood's Choice, our 50-acre estate, a natural, peaceful, rustic setting with excellent views of Church Creek, with privacy and space. The cottage and main house sit on a five-acre parcel of yard and waterfront; there is quite a bit of distance between the two houses. The pool is located a short walk from the cottage. Our remaining 45 acres are wooded with lanes to walk. It is the perfect place for either a private weekend getaway or a long-term place to work virtually, as we now have streaming WiFi. Note that the owners do not live on the property but occasionally visit the main house for a few hours. We always check with our guests before planning a visit.
Newly renovated, gorgeous in-ground pool and deck with water views available for guests' exclusive use at their own risk (May- Sept). There are four lounge chairs and two umbrellas for relaxing and sunning on the pool deck.
Excellent for watching birds, deer, fox, wild turkeys, eagles, osprey, and just relaxing and enjoying the peace of nature and the water. Originally built as servants' quarters for the main house, Harwood Cottage overlooks a cove of Church Creek. Guests are welcome to wander and explore this peaceful place. Our place is so special to us that in 2006, we placed it in the Maryland Environmental Trust, which means that it will be conserved forever, and will never be subdivided.
Beautiful country lanes for walks and bird-watching. The perfect place to get away from it all.
We do not permit hunting on our property or fishing from our shoreline. You may not bring onto the property the carcass of a hunted animal.
