Rock Hall is a quaint seashore town with a thriving fishing and boating community. The harbor is filled with crab and oyster boats which leave early every morning, returning with heaving baskets of shellfish for the town's fresh seafood restaurants. The main town too is lovely, with two large 18th century mansions on the National Register of Historic Places, three museums which discuss the town's local heritage and the maritime industry, and many picturesque board houses. The town is particularly stunning at sunset, when the warm light envelops the town and harbor in an intense glow.

The Cottage: Our smoke-free cottage has been completely redone, with new furniture, recently redecorated for the 2019 season and new double shower and double sink bath and laundry room in 2020.

It is enjoyed by family and friends and since our move to North Carolina, and has welcomed selected guests.

Wonderful cottage and location
This is my second year staying at the house. I go every year to Rock hall MD for a ladies fishing trip. The house is spacious and really has everything we need to stay comfortably. We do wish there was another bathroom or half bath but the bathroom that they have is very large and easy enough to double up while getting washed up or makeup and hair. We spent a lot of time on the back screened in porch. We also love the location because we can walk to the restaurants and the town pool and harbor.
