About this house rental
This 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom home is the perfect place to get away from it all while remaining convenient to all the best that Maryland, Delaware, and Pennsylvania have to offer. Minutes from Fair Hill Natural Resource Management Area for the horseback riders, mountain bikers, hikers, and nature enthusiasts. University of Delaware is a quick 10 minute ride away to catch a football game, celebrate commencement, or enjoy the perks of downtown Newark. Other local attractions abound, including orchards, vineyards, breweries, boating, and fishing. Just an hour from Baltimore or Philadelphia and not far from major highways, which makes for the perfect getaway with minimal traffic. There is a Ring security camera installed outside the house. This camera provides the owner a view of both of the house’s entrances. The camera does have audio capabilities that are not monitored unless necessary.
The house is situated on 4 beautifully wooded acres, with a path down to a peaceful creek at the back of the property. It includes all the major amenities of a home away from home, including fully outfitted kitchen, washer and dryer, spacious bedrooms, comfortable living room, and sleeping arrangements for a group of up to 6 people.

The Appleton Retreat was literally incredible! I highly recommend booking this beautiful home!!! We were traveling for a lacrosse tournament (kirkwood sportsplex- New Castle, Delaware) and this home was far better priced than the hotels by the field. The ride was so quick and easy and it truly was the best stay we ever had! I loved being able to wash his uniform in between tournament days and make the whole family home cooked meals, which really was the best! The home was exceptionally clean!!!! Literally spotless and so spacious! I was shocked how big the house is!! We had SO much space and were able to really relax! Maybe silly to point out, but the beds were made so nicely! I loved the thoughtful layers, extra blankets, pillows and literally anything you could ever need for kids of all ages. The kitchen window view was my absolute favorite part of the home. I also enjoyed sitting on the front porch. The yard was so beautiful and nice for my kids to run around in. We truly felt so at home and comfortable! I would have paid double to stay here, I loved it so much! I absolutely will be staying again!!

The property was wonderful. Everything was in order and available. The kitchen and living room areas were huge, functional, and comfortable. The master suite's bathroom was great with the double sink and had everything you needed. The 2 smaller bedrooms, a queen and two twins, were very comfortable and there was plenty of privacy for everyone.Big shout out to Sharon for her communications before and after our stay.We were there to visit my daughter who was in the Wilmington area, and the drive to and from where she was is about 20 minutes. Well worth it. The Elkton area had many choices for a quick meal and we did take advantage of that.A close proximity to the University of Delaware.Highly recommend this property for your consideration if you are traveling to the area.

Loved this space. Perfect location as we were visiting University of Delaware. Awesome communication from the host and everything is well organized at the house. Would definitely stay here again if we’re in the area.

The Appleton retreat was a pleasure to stay at. We are typically in the area annually and were delighted that Sharon shared her family friendly home with us. We hope to be able to stay again in the future. Sharon has obviously worked hard to make this a home away from home. It was so nice to allow our two 3 year old grandsons time to enjoy running in the yard, playing on the swing, collecting branches for the fire pit and of course the daily train whistle’s. Thank you for a comfortable and relaxing stay (as relaxing as a stay with 2 toddlers can be ).
