About this property

Stunning Views from Waterfront Log Cabin With Fireplace On The Chesapeake Bay

Relax with a beautiful water view this Winter and Spring. A rustic and cozy log cabin, in the woods, with a fire place, on a cliff, on the water. A great place to relax, walk the beach or nearby hiking trails. Come stay in cozy crisp weather with a fire going. Imagine watching lightly falling snow on the water and trees, while you're warm and toasty inside with a fire going. Relax and be at peace.

This listing contains terrific information about my cabin and what you should know to have a most enjoyable stay. I hope you'll read to the end.

A clear night sky brings an added bonus: a wonderful night of star gazing over the water in darkness away from big cities. Marvel at the brightness of the stars seen from the cabin's deck. Give your eyes time to adjust to the darkness and you might even see the Milky Way. Sit on the deck and take in the brilliance of stars and the stillness of waves lapping at the shore. Schedule your stay during a full moon and add the experience of shimmering moonlight on the water to your visit. A thrilling and memorable experience.

Note: This property is approximately a 15-minute drive from Exelon's Calvert Cliffs location.

The coziness of a rustic, quaint and cozy log cabin originally built in the 1930's, and lovingly improved and cared for over the years, with the comfortable amenities of a modern furnished home (central air conditioning and heating, La-Z-Boy sofa and recliner, Smart TV, Xfinity TV Channels with TiVo DVR, Wi-Fi, electric cooking range, and spice rack). It sleeps 5 using 1 king bed, 1 twin bed, and a queen-sized sofa bed. All of this just an hour from Washington DC and Annapolis!

I value diversity. LGBTQIA travelers welcome!

Relax surrounded by nature and stunning waterfront views, or be active and walk the beach looking for shark's tooth fossils, or hike nearby nature trails. The large windows (new in 2021) and full deck let you enjoy the view in comfort. The perfect weekend or holiday getaway place, especially with the cozy fireplace going. It's on a cliff approximately 50 feet high, yet a 1-2 minute walk down the street and some stairs to the beach. Stroll the beach and enjoy the excitement of searching for fossilized shark's teeth that have washed up from the Chesapeake Bay. Walk the paths in the community or the trails in the nearby American Chestnut Land Trust and enjoy the scenic natural beauty. Visit local museums and historical sites. Eat at local restaurants or prepare your own food and dine on the deck while enjoying the waterfront view.

I love my neighbors. They are the best! Together we all enjoy a very quiet and relaxed neighborhood surrounded by nature's beauty. I'm committed to finding guests who love nature, will maintain the quiet serenity of our neighborhood, allow my neighbors to enjoy their cabins undisturbed, and respect our community rules. If that sounds like you, and you'd like to come relax, unwind, view the water, enjoy the brilliance of nighttime stars, and quietly enjoy my cabin, then please make a request to stay. No parties or events allowed, though.

Internet Service is generally quite reliable and speedy. Neither I nor guests have had any trouble using Zoom or doing other online video conferencing.

The main bedroom downstairs contains a king bed. There is a small, rustic, attached full bathroom, closets and direct views of the Chesapeake Bay from 5 windows.

The second bedroom upstairs is an alcove off of the dining room, so it has only 3 walls but is private from the living room. It has a twin bed surrounded by book shelves and from that bed you can see the Chesapeake Bay and have great views of the sunrise while staying cozy under the covers. There is a full bathroom upstairs and a closet for clothes.

The living room couch folds out into a queen-sized bed with an inflatable pillow top. It is in front of the fireplace, and through the dining room it has great views of the Chesapeake Bay.

There is a level path from the parking area into the main floor of the cabin: no steps to impede your walk.

Some Terrifically-Important-But-Not-Terribly-Exciting Details About Cleaning, Linens, Pets and Babies - Please Please Do Read This! The cleaning fee includes professional cleanings both before and after your stay (yahoo for you!). Bring your own bed sheets, bathroom and kitchen towels, or use mine for an extra laundry use fee (yahoo for you and me!). Babies who cannot walk or crawl are welcome, but otherwise there is a minimum age of 5 for all guests. Some pets are allowed for a pet fee, 55 lbs maximum per pet (if larger, discuss with owner for a possible waiver). Most dogs under 2 years of age or who bark frequently are not allowed. If the total weight for 2 or more pets is more than 55 lbs, then at minimum an additional (and potentially more) pet fee will be charged. At the time you book your stay, please send a message and let the owner know your pet's age, breed, weight, barking habits & degree of housebrokeness. The cabin's pet guidelines can be sent in advance to you if you'd like, and if you book a stay they'll be sent to you to confirm that you and your much loved furry pal can follow them. After you schedule a stay we'll talk live over the phone, then a customized contract (the same one VRBO makes available to you to download and read before scheduling your stay) will be sent to you for signature. Now, wasn't that all very interesting?

No events, parties, disturbing of neighbors, boats on a trailer, or double-cab pickup trucks with a long bed allowed (too long for the parking area). Instead, come for quiet relaxation on the water, amazing stargazing on clear nights, and enjoyment of nature in this scenic and cozy waterfront log cabin located directly on the Chesapeake Bay.

Stunning views is spot on for this property! Bald eagles and hawks in the daytime. Stunning views of both the sunrise and the full moon! Unbelievable peace and quiet! The property owner went way above and beyond the call of duty in making sure our stay was comfortable.

Peace and tranquility
If you want to get away from the noise, this is the place to go. Stargazing, beach combing, hiking trails, beautiful sunrises, bird watching, and only about an hour away from Washington, DC, etc. My husband and I came to the Navy Cabin for our 6 year anniversary. We had such a wonderful time, We will definitely be coming back!

Stargazing on the Chesapeake Bay
Wonderful weekend at the log cabin overlooking the Chesapeake Bay! Everything we expected and more with the wood burning fireplace to keep us cozy on a winter getaway. Looking forward to spending more time in the summer to enjoy sitting on the deck in the sun and at night for more stargazing!

Why they chose this property

This cabin was owned by a close family friend, and I had been visiting it since I was a child. It is in a community known for it's focus on nature, quietness, wildlife, strolling the beach, easy hikes and enjoying life surrounded by nature. Over the years many July 4th and Thanksgiving holidays meals were spent there at the dining room table looking over the water, and it just became the perfect wonderful getaway place. When it was offered for sale, I purchased it because my heart is so full of warm memories of family and fun here.

What makes this property unique

Cozy. Quiet. Nature. Beauty. Water. Wildlife. Fire place. Rustic log cabin with modern amenities, on a cliff, on the water, in a forest. Family gatherings on Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, and Christmas. More memories from my childhood than I can count. Come and enjoy.
