Stayed here for the Ironman 70.3 held in Cambridge, MD. We brought our dog and did plenty of exploring in Blackwater Wildlife Refuge. It was perfect!

Our stay was amazing! We were hoping for a quiet, peaceful getaway in nature and this space delivered it. We read reviews for a hiking trail nearby as we brought our dogs with us. Many warned about the biting flies, a common staple in wetlands areas, and so we brought along netted beekeeper's hats which made all the difference. Without them, I think we would have struggled at dusk and dawn each day as the bugs are very active. So are the rest of the beautiful geese, birds, deer, rabbits, hawks, bald eagles, and a multitude of other creatures. I could see this being an amazing family getaway for a wetlands immersion lesson, Magic School Bus style. :) Other reviews have covered how great of a spot this is for onsite fishing and nearby hunting so I'm hoping to share the other perspective as we had a great time just enjoying the scenery. There is a lovely gazebo outback that is screened in. We enjoyed breakfast here and birdwatching. The drive in takes you down a winding two lane road with the wetlands to either side. In some spots the road does flood over completely but you can drive through it slowly. At night this scene was beautiful with the full moon reflecting off the water. The house has everything you could possibly need and a beautiful simplicity to it. I appreciated the decor so much - there are many antique elements so be mindful if you bring pets or kids. Comfy bed, hot shower, internet and well-equipped kitchen.
