2 Br Cottage Vacation Rental In Stevensville, Maryland

Welcome to Chessie Cottage on The Bay! There is an intangible quality to a cottage coming from a unique combination of architectural details, use of historic materials, enchanting setting. These are but a few of the elements creating this charming storybook cottage. Exit Bay Bridge, a short 4-mile drive delivers you to our little neighborhood, and at the final bend in the road, we have private parking. Accessing the house immediately via the brick/limestone walkway leads to a true cottage entrance; a steeply gabled roof over mahogany arched Dutch door, a true storybook welcome home! Bay views greet you before ever entering the cottage, visible from the Dutch door straight through the west facing wall of windows overlooking the bay. Three windows, each 5ft. tall x 8ft. long plus double glass French doors provide over 30ft of uninterrupted open shoreline views. The morning sunrise filtering through the trees lights the east Dutch door window starting a day of relaxation in this cozy cottage, ending with the sunsets and long-lasting afterglows on the water. The Chesapeake Bay is the largest estuary in the U.S., 3rd largest in the world, and one of the most productive bodies of water in the world.
We offer you endless views from our 150+ feet of private shoreline.
This custom home was created and built by artists so when NOT watching the never-ending array of eagles, herons, ducks, nesting ospreys, songbirds, dragonflies, and everything that floats, go by; from jet skis, crab boats, sailboats, to giant freighters and cruise ships traveling the deep-water channel…there’s endless interest & beauty all around. Open floorplan provides amazing views from every room, every seat. Large, well appointed, open, airy kitchen is ready to make all your meals memorable. Dine stylishly at the mid-century-modern Danish table or sit high and comfy at the custom designed butcherblock peninsula, originally from the Old Faithful Inn kitchen, Yellowstone National Park. Kitchen sink is, itself, a treat; a Ruvati 45” long, stainless steel Wonder Station of prep, serve, buffet, clean-up cheffing fun. Soft natural light pours in from 3 enchanting rooftop eyebrow windows, sunset reflects thousands of brilliant sparkles against the hand-laid ironstone wall in the living area. Main living area has 2 Queen sleeper sofas, one in a cozy alcove easily doubles as a dedicated office space with tilt-top coffee table for laptop, and office supplies. (If you must work, you can leave things set up to take a ‘bay break’.) Two private bedrooms each with king beds, smart TV’s, private en suite bathrooms, and inviting bay window seats for private moments reading or just watching the water. There is a 3rd full bath which services the main house located just past the well-stocked library nook where you’ll find games, puzzles, cards, and books for kids to adults.

We hope you find our home to be as enchanting, relaxing, and restorative as we do. Someday it will become our everyday home, but until then we look forward to sharing it with you.
