Bryans Road Vacation Rental cottage

We spent a wonderful week-long stay at Fenwick Cottage in mid-September. The cottage is lovely, impeccably clean and tastefully furnished. The setting is -- well, it's like being in an Audubon print: the Potomac River is on one side and the Pomonkey Creek on the other; one bedroom looks out onto a tidal pond frequented by Great Blue Herons, and because the cottage is at the end of a road there is nothing but nature to see all around. Canoe and kayaks were at our disposal so we could reach a lovely little beach across the Pomonkey Creek, a short paddle away. An ideal place for exploring nature, go kayaking and bird watching, or staying inside and reading when it rains (as we did). The hosts, John and Carrie, were delightful, there if we needed them and respectful of our privacy.

That's right! Found this place last year, and just had to come back! The cottage is so rich with ammenities, you really only need to bring yourself and your fishing pole. The fried oysters and crab soup at Marsh Hall are a must! I have to admit that after being away from home, I am usually glad to return. Not this time! We found ourselves a home away from home. Now, if I could only get John and Carrie to adopt me :-)

The following review was written by my wife.
I'd like to add that while the owners, John and Carrie, make everything comfortable and complete, and are always on hand if you need them, they provide total privacy - you would not even know they are there. Early each evening, they can be found enjoying the fantastic river view from their yard, and are available for questions, advice, and to share a cocktail in the sunset.

My husband and I and my best friend spent our vacation at Fenwick Cottage in Bryants Road,Md from 4/25 - 5/2 2009.
We each wanted different things from this vacation and none of us were dissapointed.
My friend Sue was looking for a retreat to escape the chaos and stress of life and work. She found
a beautiful sunny bedroom with a sliding glass door with a view of the water leading to a deck where she was
able to sip her coffee, relax with a book and photograph the wonders of nature abundant around her.
My husband, the fisherman, was looking for a place to fish all day and be able to cook what he caught.
He found a private dock on the Potomac River and advice on what was hitting on what. When he wasn't fishing or grilling he could be found enjoying a beverage
and the beautiful sunset view with the owners.
I wanted to enjoy the sensations felt only when being outdoors and painting the world before me. What I found was more
beautiful vistas than I could ever have hoped for and a shaded tree house overlooking the water to paint from.
We all were a stones throw apart yet in our own little paradise.
Our hosts thoughtfully filled Fenwick Cottage with everything we could have wanted to be comfy and cozy.
The cottage was spotlessly clean, cheerily decorated, and ready for us when we arrived Sunday evening. We were personally
greeted by the owner who showed us around and even left us a rosted chicken and bottle of wine for dinner!
TV, books & games, AC, plush towels, comfortable beds, and views of the water everywhere - even from the shower!
Our 2 bedroom, kitchen/dining room, 1 and 1/2 bath laundry room, and livingroom with fireplace and a deck was perfect.
If this wasn't enough, the location was close enough to make a few day trips to Washington DC and the surrounding areas.
Our stay at Fenwick Cottage was wonderful, an oasis to remind us of the beauty of our world.
The owners couldn't have been nicer and helped feed our souls, and we all hope to go back again.
Sincerely,
Annie & Mark & Sue
