The Yellow Cottage on Harness Creek
About this cottage rental
The minute you step into our charming waterfront cottage you will feel right at home! Situated on Harness Creek, in a quiet residential neighborhood, the Yellow Cottage is a great place to 'get away from it all'. Recently renovated, our historic cottage has all of the modern day comforts to make your stay enjoyable. With the original heart pine floors and a huge farm sink in the kitchen, we have retained the feeling of a true waterfront cottage. A cheerful country kitchen greets you as you enter the front door. If it's just a cup of tea you want or something more elaborate, the kitchen has it all. Beyond the kitchen is a sunny combination dining and living room area. Two oversize comfy chairs face the water in the sitting area where you can read or relax with a glass of wine. With the two bedrooms, the cottage sleeps four guests in either a queen or full sized bed. A sleep sofa in the living room can sleep additional guests. During the summer months enjoy life on the creek! Bring your fishing rod and cast from the pier or try your hand at catching some local crabs. Kayaks and paddle boards are included for your enjoyment. Visit us during the fall and watch the leaves change across the creek from your Adirondack chair each morning. Or settle in for a cozy winter weekend at the cottage with a good book and some hot chocolate! Keywords: Waterfront

My wife and I had a wonderful time staying at the Yellow Cottage. The location is peaceful but still close enough to everything you would want to do. Owner is very friendly and available if needed. Would highly recommend if you are planning a stay in Annapolis. Would easily consider staying again if coming back to the area.

Nice property - we did not get to spend as much time at the property as we'd have liked to - our schedule was too full. Really liked the winery down the street. Will be back.

Wanted to attend my USNA 50th reunion, but didn't want to stay in a big hotel. The Yellow Cottage was perfect for us. Close to the stadium and downtown, but very quiet and secluded. Too bad our schedule was so packed that we didn't have an opportunity to enjoy the property. Next time we will!

My two friends and I rented and it was absolutely the perfect get away! The cottage is charming and the view was much cute needed!
We really enjoyed using the kayaks and paddle boards and just sitting under the stars at night.
It was just perfectly perfect!
Thank you

We had a family wedding and the yellow cottage was just what we needed. Mornings drinking coffee while sitting in adirondack chairs watching kayaks and paddle boards drift by on the river and close enough to where we needed to be in the evening. Would definitely look at staying in the yellow house next time we are in Annapolis.

What a great little cottage on Harness Creek. We were in Annapolis for 2/C Parents weekend and this was a great location to come back to and enjoy! We had plenty of space, a very well equipped kitchen, enjoyed kayaking and paddle boarding on the creek, great sleeping spaces and just an overall great experience! Would definitely recommend The Yellow Cottage on Harness Creek!

The house was perfect, very comfortable and just what we needed. The water activities were fantastic, with plenty of paddle boards and kayaks to choose from. The location is great, right across the water from a large public park, so there were plenty of little inlets and small beaches to explore in the kayaks. The host was very welcoming and helpful. Highly recommend!

What a great find. It is tucked away in an idyllic setting but only minutes away from Historic Annapolis and USNA. The little house is clean and comfortable. Everything you need is provided just bring your clothes and groceries if desired. It was a comfortable size for the 4 of us including 2 teenagers. I loved the little sitting/reading area overlooking the water. The beds were comfortable and the shower had good water pressure. We will definitely stay here again if returning to the area.

Our family loved our 3-day stay at this charming cozy cottage, beautifully decorated. Communication with Rhonda was great. Grounds are lush and beautifully landscaped with mature growth beautiful flowers. The eat-in kitchen was well-equipped and the shower was wonderful. Our adult children were excited to be able to use the kayaks and loved the water view. With lots of windows and an interior painted in yellow, it was such a bright, cheery cottage. It is a short 10 minute drive to the historic area of Annapolis. It on a lovely road with a rural feel to it and close to gorgeous homes and the South River.

We loved our time here! The cottage is very cute, comfortable, and had everything we needed. It’s a short 10 minute drive to the harbor or historic area, but we also enjoyed just hanging out at the house— the grounds are lovely!

The Yellow Cottage is in a beautiful neighborhood, on the water and convenient to all of Annapolis attractions. Access to several state parks is convenient and we enjoyed a different scenic hike every day. We look forward to returning so that we can enjoy some of the offered water sports. The cottage is stylishly quaint with a peaceful ambiance!

Loved the yellow cottage and will come again! While residing here for 20 days, I entertained over 21 guests (no more than 3 @ time) and they ALL loved the cottage the details…relaxing, peaceful and well appointed to meet every need. Many of my guests suggested they would come back for a long weekend! This is a 5+++ and I highly recommend. The desk and location overlooking the water was perfect for my Zoom calls and the time I spent writing. Can’t say enough good things about the location, the cottage and the care! What a special place.

The property is charming with lush plants and slate paths. Walking into the kitchen, you immediately feel the peace and tranquility surround you. The farmhouse kitchen sink and drain boards to the cotton, flowered table cloth remind you of cottages seen in magazines. The wooden floors to the floor tile in the bathroom add to the charm along with the sunny yellow walls. The two club chairs invite you to sit and sip while gazing down the hill to the Harness Creek. Peace and serenity.

Great place to return to after your day in the city. Relaxing inside or outside you won't be disappointed. Everything in the home is for your convenience and it's close to anything you may need.

We popped in to Annapolis for a quick get away to see friends and go fishing for the day. This home was perfect for us. We were running all day between the fishing trip and grabbing some dinner with friends. It was nice to come back to the pretty gardens which provided privacy and a back yard where we could relax a little. The house is very close to downtown where lots of restaurants, shops and pubs are located. We didn’t get to enjoy the dock or kayaks because of our schedule, but the creek was calling to us. Hopefully we get back there someday to take these toys for a spin.

Great visit at this darling cottage. It was clean and clearly described. It is larger than the photos portray as someone commented. The landscaping in front of the home is very nice. The owners live in a larger home on the adjacent property, which is nice.

We honestly could not have asked for more! We came to the area to meet a new baby cousin but wanted to stay in our own space with our own 4 young kids. It was the perfect stay! The kids had a room to themselves/slept on the pullout couch and we had a beautiful view of the water (but not so so close were I was worrying about the 2 year old wandering in!). We took the kayaks out which was super fun (we brought our smaller kids’ life jackets with us, if that is helpful for anyone else to know). This house is a lot more spacious than it looks in the pictures! Rhonda was very helpful and welcoming to us! Thank you for a great stay in Maryland!!
