From the beginning we knew it was going to be a success. It was just like arriving home. Everything was in perfect state, ready to be used and the environment was just right. We loved it and we will definitely be coming back.

Our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the beautiful Blake House. The house was impeccable and decorated beautifully, and the property was picturesque and wonderful for our 3 generation family to enjoy. We enjoyed the view from the firepit and the gorgeous dining room. Matt & Gerry were wonderful to work with, responsive, and very accommodating, they left no detail unturned. Thank you!

We loved our getaway to beautiful Blake House on the shore of the Corsica River! It was the perfect setting for a reunion and celebration with our dear friends. The home and grounds are gorgeous. We enjoyed the lovely pool and spent many hours in the Adirondack chairs surrounding the fire pit. Our only regret was not having more time to enjoy it all! Matt and Gerry were so welcoming, kind, and responsive to my many questions. We loved it and hope to be back! Thank you!

We stayed at this home for a weekend in September to celebrate my Dad’s 80th birthday. We enjoyed all of the amenities the property has to offer. One guest even came by boat! I highly recommend this property for a relaxing fun filled weekend.

The property was amazing in every respect for all 3 generations of our family. The house and the bar/inn were large and cozy at the same time, with nooks for everyone to get lost in. There was so much to do (and such a beautiful place to do nothing as well and just chill) whether go to the beautiful pool, lounge on the pool chairs, fish on the dock overlooking the river, read a book at the fire pit, or walk to explore the beautiful property. Every room was more beautifully appointed than the next, with attention to every detail. It was like having a luxury resort just for your own family -- sharing it with no one else. No detail for guests' enjoyment were overlooked. Everyone had both their own space and so much shared gathering space to enjoy together. The sounds, smells, feel and ambiance of Blake House and its property made this even more special a vacation. We could not believe that we were so close to home in DC; we felt like we were far away in New England or somewhere else remote which made it very convenient for all travelers. And Matt and Gerry were perfect hosts, who spared no attention to detail with Blake House and the guide they sent to us about the house, and everything we needed to know about what to do and where to go. We have been to many VRBO's with our family before and this was the very best we have ever been to. We are going to look up the other 4 properties that Matt and Gerry own/manage for our future family vacations (although we may just want to return to Blake House again). It truly was a serene and amazing vacation destination.

We traveled as two couples and two dogs. We had a wonderful stay. There was more than enough room for a much bigger group but we chose this property because of the amenities. The property was gorgeous, private, and very well manicured. We relaxed by the fire pit at night, enjoyed the pool during the day, enjoyed a rain day inside the house lounging on the comfy couches, explored the towns near the property, tried crabbing (caught fish in the traps instead of crabs!), and enjoyed meals inside and out. The only cons during our stay was the sauna not working, the internet being a little slow because it was satellite (though, it helped us disconnect and relax), and the mosquitoes (it had just rained a lot prior to our visit). Overall, this property is amazing. We will definitely be back. We are talking about making this an annual tradition. The house and property were better than the pictures. The hosts were also amazing and easily reachable. We can't wait to return and were so sad to leave.

Really impressed with the property and the location. Good amenities and the owners were very accommodating. We were a group of 10 adults and there was plenty of room. Also, no shortage of things to do right on the property. Nice pool and deck for hanging out. At night, the Crown & Anchor Inn was great for chilling/catching up and having a few drinks, while others played pool. We even used the outdoor fire pit two separate nights (great view at night). We brought a boat for some tubing and waterskiing on the river so the dock was also very convenient. The internet was somewhat spotty and it would have been nice to have cable tv (they provide roku), but those are minor nitpicks in the grand scheme of things. Like I said, there was plenty to do!

My extended family stayed at this beautiful property for our annual reunion. The property is huge and feels more like a stately home with multiple lawns and wooded areas. Although the property is only 5 minutes from the town, it feels like a secluded island once you arrive. The house has clearly been recently renovated and everything is super clean and new. The open plan layout was also an added plus. There is a ton of things to do, one of our favorites being bocce and corn hole tournaments!! The Crown and Anchor Inn was a great place to play games and dance without disturbing the more “restful” folks in our group who relaxed in the main house. Lazing by the pool and having fire pits at night overlooking the river were other great highlights for the entire group. Matt and Gerry were extremely responsive and clearly love hosting! We cannot wait to come back later in the year!
