About Debbie Buchanan

Home Profile:

I have lived on this property for 23 years. This home along with its beautiful perennial gardens,and creek are magical, and should be shared. I now devote all my time and attention to this lovely home. One of my passions is as a pastry chef, no longer full time, but still bake ,when not preparing for house guests.

I enjoy the whole process of preparing for the arrival of a new family, ensuring that the home exceeds all expectations.

Debbie Buchanan purchased this cottage in 1991
Why Debbie Buchanan chose Annapolis

There are a thousand tributaries to the Cheasapeake Bay, this one little slice of heaven was little known, but has gained some notoriety several years back, when LL Bean chose it as one of its only 2 spots for their popular Discovery kayak learning trips. Local Annapolis Author Tom Stoner's book ' Open Spaces, Sacred Places' features our exact location on page 23 of his book. Across the creek is the home of The Chesapeake Bay Foundation, who purchased the acreage , expressly to leave as a nature preserve. The only thing you will see , as you wiling away the hours , are very grateful critters, and some boaters.

What makes this cottage unique

The expansive windows in every room, face east, so you enjoy the sunrise as well as the beauty of the moon on the creek , from the master suite as well as other perfect spots. One of the greatest attributes of this property is its beauty and peaceful, quiet surroundngs.

College Friends Weekend

5 of 5
Submitted: March 21, 2013 Stayed: March 2013
This is the second year that my college sorority sisters of 30 plus years and I have spent the weekend in Debbie's lovely home! We wanted a place where we could relax and catch up with each... and we could not ask for a more beautiful, peaceful place to be and right on the water! The home is decorated beautifully and there is plenty of space for a large group of people to stay and visit. We just wish we could be there at a time of year when we could enjoy the expansive decks and beautiful yard! We would highly recommend this as a great vacation or reunion spot for a group or family. Debbie could not have been more accommodating!

50th anniversary family gathering

5 of 5
Submitted: February 6, 2013 Stayed: November 2012
"Debbie’s “Yellow House” was the perfect place for our family to celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary. After 20 years as a Navy family, living on the east coast, west coast, gulf coast, and Spain, we've spent the last 30 years in Louisiana and Texas. Carl is a 1958 graduate of USNA, and our five grandchildren had never seen the institution their grandfather attended.

The house had plenty of room for the eleven of us, ages 77 to 4 years. The beauty of it is that the open kitchen, living, and dining room area made a wonderful place for our gathering time, and the bedrooms in different locations and on different floors were for quiet times. The decks on each of the three floors afford such comfort and lovely views. We spent Thanksgiving week there, and still much of the colorful autumn foliage remained. Every amenity was included and Debbie was available to answer any question. She was just a phone call away.

The biggest surprise was a cake. Debbie knew we were celebrating our 50th, and one day she came over with a cake she had made herself that was spectacular. It was a white layer cake with lemon filling, white frosting, and a golden “50” of spun sugar. That describes Debbie. She is so thoughtful and giving, and does all in her power to ensure that her guests have an enjoyable stay and go home with the best of memories."

Your home is so beautiful and our family enjoyed the restful time that we had to celebrate our daughter's 30th birthday. It was truly a destination in itself. We enjoyed kayacking and fishing and playing with shells on the back porch. The home fit us all so perfectly. It was such a joy getting to meet you and we hope that many others will enjoy their stay as much as we did. Hopefully we can stay there again sometime!

80th Birthday and Family Reunion on The Bay

5 of 5
Submitted: August 23, 2012 Stayed: August 2012
Debbie,
Thank you, from everyone, for a fantastic reunion, 80th Birthday weekend at your home. It was perfect and couldn't have turned out any better. It is very evident the care and attention you put into your home to make everyone's visit so special. Everyone enjoyed your beautiful home and kept busy with little effort. The kayaks were a lot of fun, we caught 14 fish one day in the Bay, and about a dozen crabs off the pier. I just got off the phone with my Mother and she said to thank you as well. Debbie, again thank you and hopefully we can get everyone back for Mom's 81st next year!

Warm regards,
The Sullivan Family
