Guest rating: 4.9 / 5
Overview
This European-styled retreat is a private home-style stay set on Maryland’s rural Eastern Shore near Delaware City. The property spans about 20 acres—approximately 8 open and 12 wooded—backing up to the head of the Little Bohemia River, with walking trails on-site. A grand 600-foot circular driveway and a quiet, secluded setting make it geared toward getaways and small-group trips.
Space & Layout
The house offers three bedrooms and two and a half bathrooms, with a large, comfortable interior that guests often note for its roomy feel. Renovations to the kitchen and bathrooms were completed in 2019. A screened-in porch is a standout feature for indoor-outdoor lounging.
Amenities & Recreation
A totally private outdoor pool is reserved for Bohemia guests only; it is not heated and is typically open from Memorial Day to Labor Day. Outdoor features include a patio, fireplace, and an outdoor grill. Practical comforts include air conditioning, heating, washer, ironing board, cable TV, and free parking; Wi‑Fi is available for a fee and may be less reliable than city internet.
Kitchen & In-Home Conveniences
The home is set up for self-catering with a full kitchen plus an oven/stove and microwave. This is a smoke-free property. Roku is available alongside the TV setup.
Location & Nearby Airports
The retreat is near event venues such as neighboring Worsell Manor and the Barn, making it a common choice for wedding weekends, reunions, and group trips. For air travel, nearby options include Wilmington Airport (~33.4 km), Philadelphia International Airport (~70.2 km), Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport (~77.8 km), Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (~122.7 km), and Dulles International Airport (~150.7 km).
Best for
Best suited to families, friends, and small groups who want a secluded Eastern Shore base with on-site recreation—especially the screened-in porch, trails, and a totally private seasonal pool. It’s also a strong fit for guests attending events at nearby Worsell Manor and other local wedding venues, thanks to the quiet setting and ample space.
Travel tips
Plan pool time around the seasonal schedule: the private pool is not heated and is generally open Memorial Day through Labor Day. Because the home is on extensive acreage, expect wildlife typical of rural properties (such as deer and spiders). If you need dependable high-speed connectivity for critical work, note that paid Wi‑Fi and internet service may be slower or less reliable than in the city.
