I am a chef by training, and the kitchen had everything I needed, including sharp knives which is a luxury I’m not used to when renting vacation homes. Thanks again for making our vacation so memorable Larry! ##### Lee C. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Nicole S.

The pool was beautiful, we couldn’t keep our daughter out of it or the sauna. Our son and his wife fished off the dock and kayaked the days away. Close to other activities and yet feel like you are in your own paradise. Loved it ##### Nicole S.

Larry, the host, is immediately responsive to any question too! ##### shari w. Stayed 14 nights in Jul 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Michelle L.

This is by far the best property and host that we experienced. The pictures don’t do the property justice. It is so beautiful and such a peaceful area. Jack is a wonderful host and always available should you have any problems. We took our jet skis and for the most part had the whole river to ourselves. I highly recommend this property. ##### Michelle L. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Brenda G.

The view of the river is gorgeous. We spent most of our time at the pool, on the dock, and kayaking. Plenty of great restaurants nearby(owner gave great suggestions). Will book again ##### Brenda G.

We had an amazing week relaxing by the pool, fishing and just hanging with the family. Holly knoll is a true nature lover’s retreat. We saw turtles, frogs, hummingbirds and tons of butterflies while enjoying the yard. We picked up fresh eggs and meat from the local farm, went to Solomons Island for great crab cake dinner at the Island Hideaway and shopped at the farmers market on Wednesday. Thanks Jack for a wonderful stay! ##### Margaret P.

Larry is a fast and easy communicator responding to any question and quick with a solution. This stay included our sister and again our dog. We were all comfortable there. The setting is very relaxing which is exactly what we needed. As long as you dont book the week we want next year, come and enjoy! ##### Doug B.
