Historic Oxford Waterfront Estate
About this house rental
Located in Oxford, this lovely house for R 17,632 per night is a fantastic option for your next trip. Bonfield Manor is located at the entrance of Oxford, a half-mile walk or bike ride to restaurants, shops and the Riverview Ave beach. The waterfront property offers a 12-acre park-like setting, fabulous views, and access to Boone Creek and the Choptank at its confluence into the Chesapeake Bay. Bonfield Manor and its plantation buildings were established in 1771-73. The original Georgian manor burnt down in 1927 and was replaced by an elegant lodge built on the original mound (and colonial basement kitchen). With two master bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms on the ground floor, two queen size bedrooms and 2 bedrooms with 2 twin beds each on the second floor, and 3 additional shared bathrooms Bonfield Manor can accommodate up to12 people. There is an additional pull-out sofa in one of the twin bedrooms upstairs and a kids' bed that can be set up as additional beds upon demand. The 12-acre property with its shaded outdoor patio, swimming pool, large dock, and extensive grounds provides both privacy, time to relax and an extensive playground for young and old. Fishing, crabbing, canoeing, and swimming are at your fingertips as are games, TV, WI-Fi, piano, and books for indoor entertainment. You are at the entrance of Oxford with everything in walking distance, St Michaels a ferry trip away, and Easton a 15 minutes drive.

This was the perfect place for our girls get away. The house and location were perfect. There is plenty to do at the house and close by. The ferry to St. Michaels is not far. I would highly recommend this property and plan on booking again in the future.

This is a great rental for a large family. The town is beautiful and quiet with marinas, a ferry, a 25 mile an hour speed limit so biking is easy and safe, great restaurants and one of the best ice cream places in all of Maryland. The property has so many activities — a huge yard with breath taking sunrises, games, bikes, canoes, a pool, BBQ grills, badminton…we had an amazing family reunion!

What a magnificent home. Fabulously appointed with thoughtful furnishings. Bedrooms and baths were perfect. The surroundings, pool, dock, boats, bikes are everything you could want. We would love to stay here again

We were a big family including 6 adults and 4 children. The house was perfect for our needs having kayaks and paddleboats, games, inground pool, and an extensive library of all kinds of books to read. The large dining room and tables with chairs near the pool made it easy to enjoy family meals. My only fault with the house is that the bathrooms are a little small.We really enjoyed Oxford and spending time in Easton, as well.

We had a great family vacation at Bonfield Manor!! Property was immaculate and the grounds were beautiful. Surrounding area was clean and quiet. Would def recommend the Scottish Creamery for an ice cream treat! The owner Marianne and the caretaker Betty were both very responsive and helpful with any questions we had. For such a beautiful property, it would be nice to have a heated pool, which would have allowed us to enjoy the pool much more. Certainly would recommend this property to others!

Ten people in my family stayed at the gorgeous Bonfield Manor to celebrate the college graduation of my two sons. The house was plenty big enough for all of us to be together or hang out in smaller groups. The kitchen is very well stocked and looks like it was recently remodeled. We really appreciated being to sit at the large dining room table and share meals together. We also enjoyed the kayaks and the amazing view.

10 of us spent a wonderful long weekend at the idyllic Bonfield Manor House. Gorgeous property with peaceful stunning views, an easy walk into Oxford and plenty to do at the house.
Marianne was so easy to work with and very responsive!
Highly recommend!!!

Exactly as incredible as you’d expect from the listing. Great communication with owner to setup and arrive. Everything (and more!) we’d need to take care of our needs and enjoy a relaxing, tranquil getaway.

This is a wonderful waterfront house with plenty of bedrooms and full bathrooms for our group. The house was well appointed with ample toiletries, yard games, board games, bikes, canoes, and water safety equipment for children. The pool was great. Chris, the property manager, was not far and I felt was always available if needed. We never needed any assistance since the house was well organized with items thoughtfully placed in its logical positions. Our family had a wonderful stay and would come back again.

We loved our week in Oxford. We especially enjoyed the window enclosed veranda which has the most beautiful view of the property and water. The kitchen was well stocked with top of the line dishes and cookware. Any hours were spent in the pool.

Bonfield Manor is a beautiful, welcoming, and historical home. There is lots of space for relaxing and entertaining with one-of-a-kind views and unique privacy. It has all the activities you might want - warm pool with large shallow end for kids, kayaks and canoes, a great BBQ set up, walking trails and even a rich library. Oxford is close to Easton so it's easy to get groceries, and anything else you might need. Chris and Marianne were both very responsive and helpful. The only thing we missed was Netflix / Amazon, but even that we appreciated after a few days once we slowed down! We can't recommend Bonfield enough - it was great for our extended family.

3 generation vacation
This property is nothing short of AMAZING! Spotless! Our family, ages 16-79, enjoyed everything this property had offered; pool, dock with launching step for the kayaks and SUP, bicycles, library, piano, a well stocked kitchen and closeness to town. We definitely will be returning. Great communication with the owner, Marianne. Property manager, Chris, lives on the property (separate house) and was quick to respond when grill needed propane. History galore!
Thank you Marianne for sharing this gem!

We are definitely looking forward to vacation at Bonfield Manor again!

Bonfield Manor was awesome! It is such a unique property with a great view and the charm of an older house that has been carefully maintained and curated over the years. The large lawn, pool, and dock kept us fully entertained all week. We look forward to visiting again soon.

Fantastic!
This property is beautifully maintained with great attention to detail, including a well stocked kitchen, children’s nursery, a lovely swimming pool, and dock complete with a gorgeous view. It was the perfect spot for our family reunion which included 6 adults and 2 children. We would love to return again next year!

We had a wonderful weekend here with friends with young kids the same age as ours. The property truly has every activity you could imagine wanting to enjoy - including the fabulous pool, BBQ, boating, badminton, etc. with a wonderful lawn for games and lounging. It’s a quick bike ride into Oxford. The house was big and comfortable and when not in the pool we spent hours enjoying the sunroom overlooking the lawn and water. It has lots of charm with modern updates to the kitchens and bathrooms. Clearly many thoughtful touches into making sure everyone is comfortable and has what they need, down to the smallest details of easily accessible outlets and reading lights by each bed. Thanks for sharing your home!

This place has everything we needed for a family getaway. Both Marianne and Chris were very responsive to our needs. The kayaks and paddle boards were a hit all week. The furniture on the dock was our favorite area to hang out and relax. The enclosed back sitting room was great to relax if it was hot and still has open views of the water and pool. We were interested in crabbing off the dock so Chris went out and got us a trap and keeper pot, which made for a delicious feast for our last day.

Bonfield Manor more than lived up to its name and was perfect in every way. The location and views were spectacular. The house was spotless and had everything we could have wanted or needed. Marianne and the caretaker were responsive and a pleasure. Be sure to take the bikes out for a ride around the conservation center next door and for the short ride into the center of town. We look forward to going back.

Absolutely beautiful old home and amazing property! Bonfield Manor had everything we needed for a relaxing family vacation. Rode bikes into Oxford, kayaked to the beach, fished from the dock, spent hot afternoons in the pool, relaxed in adirondack chairs in the evening. Marianne was a great and accommodating hostess, Chris was available if we needed anything. 5 stars plus!! We loved our stay, we will be back!

Excellent, Just Excellent
House was extremely clean and everything (non-food) you could want. The dwelling itself is so unique, and the library fantastic. And the grounds were perfect for kids to run around. Both Marianne and Chris were very responsive. The propane tank on the grill was low and it was replaced within 30 minutes. I highly recommend this property.

Surpassed expectations in every way!
Like other guests who have stayed at Bonfield Manor, I write this absolutely glowing review somewhat reluctantly, selfishly fearing that it will become too popular for us to rebook next summer! Everything about this stunning property, from its fairytale setting to its beautifully historic (and immaculate) interior, to what we took to calling its "embarrassment of amenities," was absolutely perfect. Upon arriving, we wandered through the house and grounds feeling as if we had stumbled onto the set of a Nancy Meyers film. :) Marianne is the consummate host -- incredibly responsive, kind, welcoming, and helpful. Our family group was three generations: seven adults and one child, and to a person, we agreed we couldn't have found a better property on VRBO. A million thanks!
5.0
The property was great for our family get together. We had grandparents, grown children, toddlers and babies in our group. The home and grounds offered something for everyone. We especially enjoyed the pool, large lawn, kayaks and water views.
