Adorable Getaway

Absolutely loved our stay here. We had never been to the Lusby/Solomon's Island area and it did not disappoint. The little oasis Julie has created was perfection. The string lights from the car to the cottage, the homey vibe, and the seclusion from the rest of the manor was executed flawlessly. Thank you so much for a wonderful stay!

Lovely, comfortable getaway!

We found this great property when looking for a convenient and comfortable place to stay near Jefferson Patterson Park (for a summer 5K). The apartment delivered! It is clean and welcoming with a well-appointed kitchen and modern decor. We ate several of our meals there and made use of the grill (modern, clean, and easy-to-operate). Our favorite times were in the morning, enjoying coffee in the main living area. This property is great for couples. It is a short drive to the grocery store, restaurants, and local attractions. We plan to sign-up for another 5k soon and stay here again.

Great place to stay!

The cottage was very clean. The owner Julie communicated very well with us and also gave us our space while we stayed. The cottage is set in a peaceful and relaxing environment but close enough to town. Very nice place to stay for a weekend getaway.

Birthday/Anniversary Getaway

We wanted a get away to relax. This place was perfect. It was extremely clean and welcoming. We enjoyed the outside space in the evening. It was a great location to restaurants and local attractions. Restaurants at Solomon's Island were fantastic. We greatly enjoyed the seafood at the Hideaway and the Light house restaurants. Thanks!

Great stay near Solomons

This property was spotless and well-appointed. It had all of the typical starter things and much more - great soaps, plenty of Keurig cups, sugar, creamer, etc. The cottage isn't huge but the space is used well. Also all of the furniture was in very good shape - we couldn't be happier with our 4 night stay! Thank you.

Weekend Getaway

My husband and I enjoyed a weekend getaway at Julie’s cozy cottage. The place was exactly as described and from the pictures shown on line. Super clean, new, quality kitchen wares, and very comfy beds. The location was very accessible to Calvert Cliffs, Anne Marie Sculpture Museum, and the Calvert Marine Museum. Julie was super sweet once we made contact with her. We would definitely recommend to friends and family, and would book again on a return trip.

Exactly what we were looking for!

The property was exactly as advertised. Julie was awesome she had great communication from the time that we booked until the moment we left. The property was very nice and well maintained. The outside fire pit area was very nice and private. The unit was extremely clean and updated. Everything you would need was provided including amenities. The location is very convenient to local attractions. And a restaurant on the water only a 3 min drive away. Next time in Lusby I know where I am staying.

Romantic Getaway

My boyfriend and I spend the weekend at this lovely garden cottage. We spent a lot of time in the beautiful garden just enjoying the quietness. The only sounds that you hear are birds singing or the squirrels rustling through the leafage. The cottage is very cozy, clean and had to offer everything that you need. I would definitely recommend this to our friends. Thank you Julie for being a wonderful host!

Not a retreat place for elderly people

We got there early. Thanks God. Parking is very narrow and tricky, I would advise to back up to park. And cook luck in the dark. This is a nice property to walk around. From parking to the cottage, there is a pretty heavy walk on stone and a few high steps. Inside was clean but very small compared to the picture. There was a light smell of humidity and an air filter in the corner. Wi-Fi was inconsistant. Many light bulbs were burnt out. Kitchen has some minor issues too. Very basic appliances. So if you prepare to make a smoothie in the morning, bring your equipment. This is a nice place but it needs some love. Maybe for young people it would be ok. This said, the property manager, Julie was very quick answering our emails.

Good Time on the Manor

We really enjoyed our visit to the Solomons Island area. It was always so nice to return to the Garden Cottage. It was as advertised, clean, well equipped and offered great outdoor space to start and end a day. Julie was attentive and quick to respond when we had questions. We would definitely consider a return trip.
