I was born and raised in a small town in central PA, my story on how I ended up in Southern Md is below, BUT FIRST..
I want to personally invite you to come stay at my cottage. I look forward to "meeting" my guests and hearing why they are coming to the cottage and what it means to them. I feel so blessed and grateful to have this little private oasis that I can share with others.
I'm thankful for the repeat guests who love it as much as I do and come back each year.

When my son was small he enjoyed motorcycle racing. We came down to Budd's Creek to watch the motocross Pro-Nationals one year, ( 9 years ago now, wow time flies).
Anyways, we wanted to go to the ocean and swim and enjoy the sunshine, but didn't want to have to drive 2.5 hrs down the Ocean City. I ran across this cottage online and I booked it for 3 nights. We didn't want to leave so I asked if we could stay another night.
I remember coming down the red dirt road and thinking where in the world am I going.
It looked very secluded, surrounded by bamboo and forest! THEN, we rounded the turn and I saw the row of houses, when we reached the cottage I couldn't believe how amazing it was.
Fast forward 2020, middle of a pandemic, I happened to run across this cottage online and it was for sale! You can imagine how excited I was, and the memories that came flooding back to my mind. I knew it was meant to be mine (cause there is no coincidences in life ..right?!)
I hope my lil cottage allows you space to find YOUR balance and recharge your soul. As above~so below, as within~so without
