From the picturesque waterfront, to the charm of a historic home, this was truly a place to relax and enjoy the beauty of St. Michael’s. Our dogs loved the dock and swimming in Miles Bay, my teen and her friend enjoyed grabbing some sun on the decks. Peaceful sunsets with my husband and plenty of space to host a crab feast; or sneak into town for a meal at Ruse - this spot has it all.

Crabbing season doesn’t start until April so we found some things in the area were closed for the season, but it didn’t matter because we had a fantastic time at this magical waterfront property. They have taken great care of this historical property and filled it with so many interesting artifacts! We enjoyed fishing off the dock, and seeing ospreys, bald eagles, herons and numerous song birds. We brought our bikes and enjoyed several rails to trails bike paths in the area. Just a short drive to town and all of its charming shops. Owner was wonderful, beds comfortable, great communication. We hope we can return soon! ##### Jennifer C.

Even though the weather was not great, we were able to enjoy the beautiful waterfront views throughout the house. I can only imagine how much more enjoyable it is during more pleasant weather. The inside was beyond charming. The character was spectacular and the special touches throughout the house were impressive; yet it was nicely updated with many modern conveniences. And, yes, the location was perfect, too. Just outside of St Michael's and not far from quaint Easton. We enjoyed visits to both. I would highly recommend if you're looking for a peaceful and relaxing waterfront getaway. ##### Christine P. Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jack B. Jun 17, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Perfect Spot The location of this property is fantastic It is on a quiet river with a dock for fishing, a little beach for young children and a beautiful space for kayaking. The house is well equipped and beautifully furnished. The kitchen had every appliance and tool that anyone would need. We ate our dinners on the wraparound porch while enjoying the breezes. There is plenty of space for everyone inside and out. While we spent most mornings at the house, we also took advantage of the opportunities nearby. St. Michael's is only a few miles away for meals out and shopping. Our family particularly enjoyed the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum in St. Michaels and ferry trip from Bellevue to Oxford for ice cream. This three generations of family is still talking about how much fun this vacation was and are still recounting memories of the best moments. The owners of this property have made this a really special destination house. ##### Jack B.

Jun 16, 2015 #### St Michaels If you are looking for a camp like atmosphere this is the place for you. The location is beautiful. The water views are lovely and the small town of St. Michaels is filled with charming little shops and places to eat. The House however is in need of some repair and seems to be maintained on a budget. The grass was not mowed, the landscaping was overgrown, the house exterior was in need of painting . The inside was clean but it also needed some serious attention. We have stayed at several VRBO homes in the past for the same amount of money and our accomendations were far superior. Furniture was worn and dirty, kitchen was nice but the pots and pans were limited and in some cases rusty. There were not enough linens for all of our guests and the dryer was not working properly.We had to tell our guests to bring their own towels. Outside there was no gas grill only an antiquated charcoal grill which was rusted and the legs were falling off. The grill was placed on a sewer cover quite a distance from the kitchen. The logistics of cooking and serving a meal were a bit of a challenge. With some TLC this place could be wonderful. My husband and I were disappointed and will not be staying here again. ##### Jane M. This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 4/10 Poor #### Cindy M., Severna Park, Maryland Sep 19, 2014 #### Disappointing Property after Rave On Line Reviews What you should prepare yourself to see at Cranford on Miles: • Upon arrival you will be greeted by the sight of an old golf cart covered by a rotting canvas cover. • The exterior of the home is dirty as if it has not been cleaned in years. • The screen door at the main entrance always hangs open as it does not latch well. • What serves as the 4th bedroom is actually a stairway landing with a twin daybed. There is a folding screen that may be dragged into position to provide 2-3 feet of privacy. • The landscaping is overgrown with vines creeping over decks and other shrubs. The rear porch egress is extremely narrow as the hedges have greatly overgrown the exit sidewalk on both sides. • Cooking a hot breakfast is troublesome as the only non-stick pan is a large skillet that cannot be leveled on the stove due to its dented bottom. • The king bed in the master bedroom has no skirt or cover and shows the exposed box spring at all times. • The wooden steps down the hill to the very small beach area are broken and/or missing. They are practically unusable. Once you get past the disappointment of the property itself, the Miles River view is beautiful. ##### Cindy M. This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 6/10 Okay #### Denise L. Jun 25, 2013 #### OK For Adults The property is beautiful and the house is quaint. Most of you will have a wonderful stay. We really didn’t. If you have young children, you may want to rethink your plans. We spent most of the week keeping personal items of the owners away from our 3 year old son. The window sills were layered with bugs and the screens in such poor shape that we could not open windows, so AC was on all week. The valances to 2 sets of blinds literally fell off, one as I was first opening it and one that we hadn’t ever touched, as we were falling asleep. The refrigerator did not work when we arrived. We used our own cooler for almost 3 full days. The “beach” is tiny, more perfect for a 3-year-old than adults, but we were unable to access it until almost the last day we were there because of a nest of nasty hornets at its entrance. In fairness, Lisa was responsive in working to resolve the issues of the hornets and the fridge. Yet, the interesting part of the story is what happened after we left. We had only been out of the house for a very short time when Lisa called with a very different tone. She was not happy. My husband had taken the spread off a bed we did not use when setting up another room for our son. Lisa accused us of having additional guests based on this “evidence”. Did we rent a 3-BR house, or 2 beds? And, we couldn’t find all the Beanie Babies as we raced to meet the 10 am checkout, but figured the cleaning crew would find them. And, we inadvertently took an umbrella that looked like one that we had brought with us. We buy these umbrellas for $3-5 on the streets of NYC, but offered Lisa $20 off our deposit for our mistake. We never heard from her again or received our security deposit back. Now, we agreed to $20 for a missing umbrella, but no refund of our security deposit and no further explanation? What about the inconveniences that made our stay considerably less than expected? Not to mention, spending a week trying to protect their things from a curious 3-year-old. If they don't want toddlers in the house, then they should say so, but if they’re going to welcome toddlers and the money their parents are paying for the house, then they should adjust the accommodations or their standards accordingly. ##### Denise L. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Elizabeth D.

Large dining room and additional eating area, nice sitting areas, kitchen is well appointed. Stairs to bedrooms but a pullout on main level. Historic house so bedrooms are walk thru but fine with us! Room for multiple remote work stations. We’ll be back. ##### Elizabeth D.

From watching spectacular sunrises, working crab boats and a magnificent great heron perched on the dock to learning more about the area and being surrounded by articles and items from the house’s historical era, our stay was a delight. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Elise S.

Close to town and restaurants and grocery. Great communication with owners and overall was delightful! ##### Elise S. Stayed 6 nights in Nov 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Deb S.

The views from the entire house are beautiful, and the screened wraparound porch is the perfect place to have a meal, or morning coffee, or to sit and relax while enjoying the view. The house has its own pier and sits on a large lot surrounded by trees. St Michaels' restaurants are 3 mi away and the lovely Tilghum Island is half an hour away via a country drive. Just perfect. Lisa was a wonderful and attentive host. ##### Carmen P. Stayed 5 nights in Sep 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mary M.

Our daughter was getting married at the Inn at Perry Cabin. The house was perfect for a small luncheon for her bridesmaids with a beautiful dining room that easily seats 8 people. There are four air conditioning units keeping the house cool during a very hot period in August. We crabbed off the pier, my husband went kayaking, our two small dogs were welcomed and there was ample room for three couples to stay, the owner was very accommodating for the changes in my schedule since I needed to stay a few extra days and was fortunate to be able to extend last minute. I would definitely recommend to families or several couples who want to have the experience of staying in a historic home on the eastern shore with beautiful water views and privacy with the ability to get into town easily for shopping, dining and water activities. ##### Mary M.

Jul 6, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Good for long weeknd My family stayed here for a family reunion. The check-in process was efficient and the host contacted me to make sure everything was okay upon arrival and departure. The property is very nice, albeit old-timey--this is clear in the description. Air conditioning works, as do the kitchen appliances. Only complaint was that I killed 15-20 flies in the kitchen over the course of 3 days. My sense is that this is par for the course for the Eastern Shore climate, but if that is a dealbreaker for you, consider elsewhere. Otherwise the unit was totally clean. I would stay here again. ##### Jack G. Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Diane M.

Very clean home with every kitchen gadget imaginable. Kayaking, fishing, relaxing (in Adirondack chairs overlooking the water). Short drive to town for shops and restaurants. ##### Diane M.

It was a real home from home with every amenity and comfort we could possibly want, beautifully clean and will presented, extremely large and private with spectacular views over the Miles River and its own dock. We simply didn't want to leave! We had the best long weekend ever with our family congregating from NJ and GA to attend the wedding of a close family friend. We felt very relaxed and comfortable, the property was very private and we enjoyed every moment! Thank you to our wonderful super host Lisa who made everything so special for us and who was so responsive to the couple of questions we had. This is a real home from home and we loved everything about it and it's location. We would return in a heartbeat and hope to do so again very soon! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts! ##### Lucy T. Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Hanna L. Apr 9, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### A very special getaway This house is charming and welcoming from the moment you drive up the long driveway and see the large porches and beautiful bay in the background! My family came for three nights, knowing that if the weather wasn't fantastic we'd want a house we could enjoy spending time in. Cranford did not disappoint!! Much bigger than we expected, the house is well appointed with period furniture and art, but feels incredibly comfortable and homey. Lisa was the most wonderful, gracious host who made herself available and helped us feel welcome without being overbearing at all. We enjoyed the house immensely - from the gorgeous views in the bedrooms (the sunrise over the water is spectacular) to the kayaks my husband took out in the morning. We came with our two kids - 10 mos & 4.5 years - as well as our dog, and everyone was welcome (there was even a fresh bowl of water for our pup and Lisa had messaged that there would be beanie babies for the kids to play with). Highly recommend!! ##### Hanna L.
