Special Rates\* Modern 2 BR, 2 BA River House has 180-degree views of glorious sunsets Imagine two floors of picture windows overlooking a spacious deck, and heated pool, all gazing out at one of the most historic and scenic rivers in the country. The Choptank River first navigated by European colonists in 1612 and immortalized in James Michener's novel, Chesapeake, 350 years later, beckons River House guests to walk its woods, kayak or boat its shores, and explore its historic and tranquil surroundings. This is the heart of Maryland's Eastern Shore, renowned worldwide for its crab and oysters, yet situation in the middle of just about everything without drawing attention to itself. This is Pinch Me country. The Eastern Shore is a large, flat peninsula occupied by three states between the Atlantic Ocean and the Chesapeake Bay--which is really an ancient estuary. There are no metropolises, no limited-access highways, no scheduled commercial airports. Less than 30 feet above sea level in most spots, it is etched by countless meandering tributaries, none 100 miles long, yet more than a couple of them--including the Choptank--2 to 4 miles wide when they reach the Bay. Weaving like blood vessels in a retina, the graceful paths of the rivers, and the marshes and grasslands they define, are reminiscent of the plains of Africa and South America. There is nothing like it in the Western Hemisphere above the equator. One hour east of River House are the Atlantic beaches of Rehoboth and Cape Henlopen State Park in Delaware. An hour west puts you in the nation's capital, with Annapolis in between. Less than 90 minutes southeast is Assateague Island, famous for its beach camping, off-loading, and wild horses. Half an hour due south of River House are the superb dining and shopping of Easton and, a little further, St. Michael's and Oxford. Within easy reach north are churches with gravestones from the 1600's near Ruthsburg, the nation's first chartered college in Chestertown, and the largest weekly antique auction in the works, in Crumpton. Or head just three miles down the road to Denton and begin retracing the Underground Railroad and visit the birth places of Harriet Tubman and Frederick Douglass. both natives of the Choptank's shores. River House offers a master bedroom with a king bed and ensuite. There is a quiet guest room on the first floor with a queen bed, a couple of steps from the second full bathroom. Additional guests could be accommodated with a queen air mattress. A wash and drier are down the hall in the laundry room. The living room provides Direct TV on a large screen next to the gas fireplace. There is a shared dock for boat access, kayaking and fishing. This house has been a successful rental for the past 4 years and as new owners we are looking forward to providing the same quality vacation experience. Here are some quotes from past visitors. "Beautifully maintained home with stunning views" This is our second stay here and this one was as ideal as the first. It's the perfect place to relax and get away from it all. From the pool to the hot tub to kayaking on the river, we really didn't need to leave the property! "Very peaceful, private, and yet close to everything. The property is beautiful! " "Peaceful and Relaxing" This beautiful place on the river was just what we were looking for. A quiet, private getaway. The home is lovely, with pretty much everything we could need, including a grill for cooking out. We love the ocean as well, and being only an hour or so away from the coast we could spend a little time there, and then come back to our peaceful spot. "Fantastic Stay at Choptank River House" Our family spent an absolutely fantastic week at Choptank River House in late July/early August. We were looking to get away from the heat and crowds of NYC in summer with our 14-month-old and 2 dogs, and the River House could not have been more perfect. The house itself is stunning -- beautifully appointed, filled with natural light and very-well maintained, and we arrived close to midnight to find that the fridge had been stocked with an awesome array of local produce. The house is removed enough to feel like a hideaway but also just a short drive from town, and we were able to make fun day trips to nearby Saint Michael's and the Dogfish Head brewery in Delaware, although with the fantastic views of the river, our own large swimming pool and outdoor hot tub, we sometimes found it hard to motivate ourselves to leave the property. "A lovely getaway, yet all within a 45-minute drive: Easton, Kent Narrows, St. Michaels." Property was well-maintained; the pool was great, although we had some rain, we still enjoyed a couple beautiful pool days in the sun. Our welcome basket of fresh flowers, fruit and veggies were an elegant and very tasty treat: wonderful tomatoes, a variety of lettuce, delicious strawberries and more! We had a wonderful vacation "Serenity by the Choptank."
