Chukka Western Mass, USA
Review Submitted: October 26, 2009 Date of Stay: August 2009
Instead of spending the better part of a week in a characterless motel, I surprised my family by arranging for us to stay at our first Home Away property.
The location of the cottage is delightful, but I also really appreciated the character and space inside. Another pleasant surprise was the quality of the 'extras', such as decent kitchen knives, bathroom supplies, etc. This attention to detail was important to me.
The property has a very rural setting, so you will not find a big convenience store right around the corner. You might want to bring some supplies with you or stock up the fridge when you arrive - speaking of which, we arrived late after a 7 hour drive, but this was no trouble...and there were a couple of surprises already in the fridge for us. These made us feel welcome.
We didn't get out in the kayaks, even though this will be an irresistable draw for some guests. The water is a stone's throw away...
We would gladly stay here again

Perfect for nature lovers

Sus & Suz Saugerties, NY
Review Submitted: September 28, 2009 Date of Stay: September 2009
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.

Our Little Slice of Heaven

Pam & Bryan Columbia, MD
Review Submitted: August 3, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2009
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 :-)

Great Getaway

markandannie Saugerties, NY, USA
Review Submitted: May 14, 2009 Date of Stay: April 2009
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

Perfect Balance of City and Country

Lee1234 Pawleys Island, SC
Review Submitted: February 4, 2009 Date of Stay: December 2008
Our family found Fenwick Cottage on our first attempt at online searches for vacation homes and we were feeling brave at accepting what seemed to be the perfect place for us to stay while exploring Washington, DC. And it was!

We came in at night and so enjoyed leaving I-95 and finding the location so easily.The trees and the cottages closed in on the road and deer looked up as if to say "Hey, you found us!" The road narrowed once more and there stood our host at the gate of our getaway.

Fenwick provided the perfect balance between city and country for our 10-day stay. John and Cari gave us the company and/or the privacy we desired and we fell in love with the 10 acres and the wraparound view from the cottage. We spent our first day in pajamas by the fire, reading and snoozing and watching the creek flow into the river. Our teenage son found shelves of books and a CD player and a sofa all his own. I nearly forgot we had planned to see DC!

We started each day by making a big breakfast, packing a lunch and then getting supper ready in the big crockpot before heading to the city. Easy trip by car. John provided all we needed to know about directions and parking.

We found Fenwick to be an ideal launching place for a family trip to DC. Coming back down "our" road at dark, we felt so happy that we had chosen a cottage and not a hotel room downtown. Keep in mind, too, that we made this trip OVER Christmas and felt no regrets for leaving "traditions" behind. The fireplace, the kitchen, the dock and all that natural serenity seemed to be much more meaningful than parties, decorations, and shopping.

We also ventured forth from "headquarters" to see Mount Vernon and Alexandria, Annapolis and the Naval Academy, and historic sites in southern Maryland. We found groceries, a McDonald's and good BBQ nearby without leaving the small town of Bryan's Road.

The hosts' online descriptions are accurate and yet, too modest. The cabin is much larger than we expected! Plenty of room for each of us to do our own thing. I even delighted in doing laundry and cooking on vacation with all appliances being top of the line, CD's and stereos and big screen TV, all the best things in the drawers. It's all there.

Make a point to include Fenwick Cottage in your plans to see DC, as well as your plans to escape. You can have both at this wonderful location!
