About this property

Historic Oxford Waterfront Estate

Bonfield Manor is located at the entrance of Oxford, a half-mile walk or bike ride to restaurants, shops and the Riverview Ave beach. The waterfront property offers a 12-acre park-like setting, fabulous views, and access to Boone Creek and the Choptank at its confluence into the Chesapeake Bay. Bonfield Manor and its plantation buildings were established in 1771-73. The original Georgian manor burnt down in 1927 and was replaced by an elegant lodge built on the original mound (and colonial basement kitchen).
With two master bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms on the ground floor, two queen size bedrooms and 2 bedrooms with 2 twin beds each on the second floor, and 3 additional shared bathrooms Bonfield Manor can accommodate up to12 people. There is an additional pull-out sofa in one of the twin bedrooms upstairs and a kids' bed that can be set up as additional beds upon demand. The 12-acre property with its shaded outdoor patio, swimming pool, large dock, and extensive grounds provides both privacy, time to relax and an extensive playground for young and old. Fishing, crabbing, canoeing, and swimming are at your fingertips as are games, TV, WI-Fi, piano, and books for indoor entertainment. You are at the entrance of Oxford with everything in walking distance, St Michaels a ferry trip away, and Easton a 15 minutes drive.

Wonderful place for a family reunion
This is a great rental for a large family. The town is beautiful and quiet with marinas, a ferry, a 25 mile an hour speed limit so biking is easy and safe, great restaurants and one of the best ice cream places in all of Maryland. The property has so many activities — a huge yard with breath taking sunrises, games, bikes, canoes, a pool, BBQ grills, badminton…we had an amazing family reunion!

Bonfield Manor was a charming home.
We were a big family including 6 adults and 4 children. The house was perfect for our needs having kayaks and paddleboats, games, inground pool, and an extensive library of all kinds of books to read. The large dining room and tables with chairs near the pool made it easy to enjoy family meals. My only fault with the house is that the bathrooms are a little small.We really enjoyed Oxford and spending time in Easton, as well.

About the host

Hosted by Marianne Haug

Host profile image
We have cherished Bonfield Manor for nearly 20 years and use the property YEAR Round as a 1-2 day retreat and for longer vacations. With children grown and heavy travel commitments, we would like to share this special historic property with others who are looking for a short-term 'get-away' or vacation rental. Bonfield has been updated to today's standards and furnished with 19th century antiques and engravings as well as modern art works and furniture.

What makes this property unique

Priceless setting and water views. Convenient, close-in but peaceful location, Abundant wildlife: ospreys, owls, blue herons, fowl, foxes, and deer. Remaining colonial buildings on the property. Plantation and literary history of Bonfield Manor.
