Victorian home just a block from the water in historic Havre de Grace!
About this house rental
Welcome to Millards Rest! **If you are in need of additional bedrooms or just more space to spread out with your group, inquire about adding our 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom first floor unit to your rental** This recently remodeled circa 1860 home was the childhood residence of Millard E. Tydings - famed former Maryland Senator. While retaining much of the original woodwork, architecture, and style, contemporary conveniences make this home a comfortable retreat for guests of all ages and parties of all sizes. Occupying the 2nd and 3rd floors above my part-time home office space* on the main thoroughfare of downtown Havre de Grace, this home is ideally suited for short-term and extended stay business travelers, wedding party guests, and with the proximity to Ripken Stadium and Cedar Lane Sports Complex, an ideal accommodation choice for traveling youth sports families. Enjoy a morning coffee or an evening libation on the front porch, or venture out to a great selection of fantastic restaurants, wine bars, and coffee shops all within a few blocks of Millard’s Rest. Feeling a little more adventurous? Rent a boat, kayak, or paddle board from one of the many marinas or go back in time with a Susquehanna River Cruise aboard the Skipjack Martha Lewis - one of the last remaining restored skipjacks from the Chesapeake bay oyster fleet. * Home office access (left side door) has an active video doorbell **NEW FOR SUMMER 2021** Guests now have access to our fenced back yard and patio space featuring a propane grill, portable cooler, and outdoor dining set. Access to the back yard is through the side gate.

We really enjoyed our stay in HdG at this beautiful home.

This is a lovely home that fit our needs. It was a block away from the venue for our son’s event.
We would recommend it highly.
I would suggest that you add drapes like the ones in the front bedroom to the remainder of your bedroom windows. The shades in the bedrooms are “see-through” at night. We were changing in closets & bathrooms for privacy.
We enjoyed our visit to Havre De Grace very much.

We came for a Cal Ripken baseball tournament. The house was a perfect fit for us. It’s old character with modern touches and cleanliness made it a great location and stay. Lots of walkable food and shops and easy travel to the fields. The amenities were great and I would stay here again if we come back to the area. I highly recommend this house.

This home was a perfect place for my friends and family to stay after my sister got engaged downtown. Not only is this home within walking distance of the entire town, it was beautiful and contained a surprising amount of local history. Nick was prompt with communication and flexible with a last minute change to our booking. I would definitely recommend this home to anyone looking to experience Havre de Grace.

Very nice place. A lot of history if you take the time to look into it. Close to several restaurants stores and activities to do within walking distance. Had some pretty hard rain storms and had some water leaking out of ductwork and ceiling but I don’t feel this is something that happens all the time and should not be held against the property. Very nice place updated and accommodating

we had 6 high school friends all age 60 stay - it was wonderful; the town is cute and very walkable and friendly. Nick was easy to communicate with (even with silly questions!). We had a fantastic time!!!

We stayed 2 nights in this beautiful historic home and were very pleased. The owner was responsive and helpful and the property was even lovelier in person than in the photos. We were walking distance from restaurants and a large park, and a short drive from the Ripken baseball fields in Aberdeen where our son participated in a camp. The only surprise was that the very nice backyard of this home- which we did make use of- has no access to the rental unit except via the front door. This means there is no easy access to the kitchen, which is on the second floor. It was ultimately no real problem, particularly since it was truly a bonus to have the backyard and use of the grill. Simply a surprise worth noting for future families who will want to stay and use the yard.
We hope to stay again the next time we are in the area as the experience was a great one!

I rented the home during my nieces wedding weekend. The home shows great online, but I was concerned how it'd compare on person. It did not fail to impress. There was plenty of room for 3 generations. The host thought of everything from baby gate to instapot. We would definitely stay again.

Excellent home for family reunion.
Nick is excellent host. Home is beautifully renovated and immaculately clean. Very cozy . Walking distance to downtown shops/restaurants as well as beautiful downtown waterfront park. Rooms felt spacious and somewhat larger than they appear online . Quaint backyard dining space was lovely for family dinners. Note that though there is large stovetop, toaster oven and toaster, there is no oven. (We brought lasagne to bake and as my brother is local we used his oven). Loved our stay. Thank you, Nick.

Super small town charm. Home is very special. You can tell the owner cares about every detail. Lovely front porch. Nicely decorated. Right down to the flowers! HDG is a wonderful walking town. Lots of little shops and friendly people. I remember the bakery from 40 years ago. It has not changed. Would have loved to stay…,,forever!

Perfect spot for enjoying downtown Havre de Grace as well as the surrounding areas. The house is lovely, well appointed, and makes guests feel like they are home. We especially enjoyed sitting on the front porch before heading out to formal events planned across the weekend. Should another event bring us to Havre de Grace, this is where we will hope to stay!!

This home was so perfect for our stay in Maryland. We were in Maryland for a week at the Ripken experience and the location to the facility was about a 12 minute drive and so perfect for us as a family and with another family on top of it.

We stayed at this property as a place to call home for our wedding weekend in Havre de Grace. This home exceeded expectations! Not only was the host extremely accommodating, the check in process was the easiest I’ve ever had and the home itself was so charming. We used the home to get ready with my bridesmaids on Saturday and everyone was raving about it, the porch made for amazing photos! I would definitely come back and stay again!

Great Home Base for Family Wedding
Nick was great to work with and his home was perfect for our immediate family to stay in while attending my daughter’s wedding.
The home was spotless and comfortable. We appreciate the clean, uncluttered decor and everything was in good working order. Since we were so busy, I’m afraid we didn’t have the chance to enjoy the sites. There may have been a local event taking place because there was a lot of activity going on. I will say it was a bit loud but that’s what you expect when you’re right downtown.
I hope to return again and would certainly stay here again.

The pictures do not do the property justice. Artfully updated/modernized yet retaining its historic grandeur. Immaculately clean and impeccably furnished down to every detail. You cannot be more centrally located to Havre de Grace's many shops and restaurants, a walk along the Bay, or places to purchase food and beverages for the house. Likewise convenient to southern PA, northern DE, and most of eastern MD - we're talking seriously close/nearby. This VRBO is worth the money even if, like us, you really only need one bed/bath (the unit has three bedrooms/ two baths). It is WORTH it. The host is responsive and easy going, answers inquiries quickly, and is helpful at every turn. Check in/out is a breeze and the check-out list isn't overly burdensome. This is the only place I'll stay from now on when visiting the area (and, with many family in the area, that's likely to be often!).
