Vacation Rental Description

Welcome to The Waterside Cottage, 
 
Spacious, airy and relaxing 2 bedroom cottage on Harness Creek, just 5 
minutes to the Naval Academy and 30 minutes to DC or Baltimore. The 
Waterside Cottage is ideally situated to unwind from urban stress, yet 
close enough to enjoy the great galleries, memorials and bountiful 
history in the region. Or, you could just lounge around reading books, 
playing board games and rejuvenate in the tranquility.  
 
Relax on the patio in adirondack chairs, sipping your morning coffee 
or enjoying a sunset glass of wine, watching the great heron that 
lives here or the foxes across the creek that play at the waters edge. 
 
This is a very quiet, rural neighborhood 3 miles and 5 minutes from 
historic Annapolis. There is even a vineyard around the corner. 
Harness Creek Rd was described by Washingtonian Magazine as one of 
Maryland's "Streets of Gold". We agree ... we live next door! 
 
The Cottage has hardwood floors and is fully furnished in a 
comfortable "Cottage Living" style. Sleep in the luxurious comfort of 
high-thread count linens, down pillows and duvets. Bathe with handmade 
soaps by a local purveyor and soft organic towels. There are also 
beach towels for those dips in the creek. The kitchen is fully-stocked 
with all number of gadgets, perfect for your crab feast, that 
Chesapeake picnic or a romantic dinner.  
 
Over the years, the Cottage has had a fair share of upgrades yet she 
still retains the elusive character of yesteryear. Come ... unwind ... 
melt into cozy, lazy days.
