Enjoy our waterfront home styled after historic bay lighthouses. Relax by the water in a hammock under the tall pines. Gather with family and friends around the fire pit. Take in the beautiful water sights while paddling in a kayak, canoe, or paddleboard. Laugh with family and friends while playing corn hole, croquet, or bocce ball waterside. Photograph abundant wildlife - bald eagles, blue herons, osprey, deer, turkey and numerous waterfowl. Dine on the deck while enjoying beautiful sunsets.
The house is octagon shaped with the large central family area having a high ceiling and stone fireplace. The house has a relaxed, casual atmosphere with games, books and movies for rainy days or quiet evenings. The kitchen is well equipped and there is a gas barbeque grill on the deck. Enjoy the covered deck rain or shine, including the dining table, grill, and hammock.
The space is the entire second floor and includes the 13 acre property with dock, fire pit, yard and woods. The house is on a dead end road with almost no traffic and is great for walking, jogging or bike rides.
The original house living area was entirely on the second floor with garage and storage on the ground level. We added a small apartment with separate entrances and HVAC system on the ground level. We (Scott & Melinda) live in the ground level apartment. We like to say Hi to our guests and are available for questions or help, but we let our guests take the lead. We are here if you need us, but have our own space with a separate entrance. Guests have complete private use of the property.
Casson Neck is on Brooks Creek and is considered the Neck District of Cambridge, MD. The Neck District is quiet, rural, woodsy, and includes several tidal creeks. Paddle across the water, pass the next point and you're in the Little Choptank, just a short paddle to the Bay.
The flat terrain makes it great for cycling or jogging. This picturesque setting is home to several bald eagle nests a quick paddle away. Osprey, blue heron, and a variety of song birds abound. Wild turkey and whitetail deer can be seen often in the early morning hours. Sunsets over the water looking west are ever changing and beautiful.
Our personal favorite things to do: relax in the breeze, paddle on the water, watch the sunset, sit around the fire and enjoy the local seasonal seafood options.
