A spotless single-level home less than 2 hours from D.C. Located across the street from the Potomac River Time stands still at Tall Timbers an almost forgotten Maryland treasure. Two of the three bedrooms are furnished as bedrooms. The third is used as a den with an ambiance fireplace, Smart TV and fold-out bed to supplement the living room sofa-bed. Well-trained polite pets are welcomed with advance written approval provided you agree to pay for any extra cleaning or damage charges incurred. This modern and year-round retreat is equipped with linens and any other items you might expect in a well-equipped home, including bikes, puzzles, a Keurig coffee maker, Smart TVs with local channels, Wi-Fi, and fast internet. We are uniquely located 3 miles east of the Piney Point/ St. George's Island Bridge not far from where the Potomac River flows into the Chesapeake Bay. There is an outdoor fire ring for wood fires, and the ambience of a faux fireplaces in the den and dining room. All windows are screened and open if you want to feel the breezes off the river and listen to the chorus of bird songs. An easement runs along the side of our home to the water's edge however the slippery bulkhead stones make entry difficult. The best launch spot is at the marina or one of the many creeks or parks. Fishing and Crabbing for our famous Maryland Blue Crabs is a popular activity in our local Herring Creek. The village of Tall Timbers and the Marina are both easy walks. Picking up boxed lunches or great steaks at Wm Dents Grocery is a tradition. You will find a local watering hole and cafe in the back of the grocery. The famous Reluctant Navigator is at the Marina. The Historic St Mary’s City (interpretive park), beaches, docks, lighthouse, and bridge at Piney Point and St. George's Island are all a short drive. We are happy to assist you in booking fishing charters or cruising the Potomac with a qualified waterman. ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach loungers - Beach towels ### Internet - Available in the cottage: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport -

The property manager kept us updated and helped by providing water. Frustrating and inconvenient situation, but not at fault of the host or property managment!As for the house, it was cozy with adequate space for our family of 4 and 2 dogs. It was well equipped and had everyrhing we needed and was situated in a great little neighborhood on the Potomac. We were in town for a swim meet, but would definitely come back for a quiet getaway to rest, relax and enjoy all the area has to offer. ##### Christi B.

Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2017 Archival ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jaimie T. 2 Jan 2015 #### This Tall Timbers bungalow delivers I cannot say enough positive things about this rental. The home itself is adorable and exactly as represented in the photos attached to the owners' description. Tall Timbers itself is a tiny sleepy, waterfront community in a beautiful area of southern Maryland. We were there off-season so the marina and other area attractions were closed, but it was still a relaxing getaway. The owners are fantastic and very communicative and helpful. It is clear they take great pride in this property and enjoy "meeting" those who come to stay. ##### Jaimie T. Archival ### 10/10 Excellent 18 Apr 2007 #### We stayed at this home Ju... We stayed at this home June 2006 for two weeks. It was everything we were looking for in a vaca home. We have been coming to the the area for over 4 years and were tired of hotels. This was home away from home. Peaceful, friendly neighbors and very relaxing. It is a short drive to many attractions ie: Lookout Point, Solomon's Island, Historic St. Mary's City, Clavert Cliffs and much more. We are looking forward to our next vaca in Maryland and hope to rent the house again. I would highly recommend this property to everyone who would be coming to St. Mary's County on work, vaca or some R&R. Archival ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jennifer C. 29 Oct 2014 #### Relaxing weekend Lolly and Lindley's place was perfect for our family of 4, for a peaceful, relaxing weekend away from the city. There are many fun day trips, including an affordable boat tour from the Calvert Marine Museum. Make sure to try Kim’s Key Lime Pies and Lotus Kitchen on Solomons Island. I think there's a few breweries and wineries in the area as well. If you're coming from the DC area, think about taking a different route there and back for more scenery. The house itself was also charming, clean and the perfect size. Thanks again, Jennifer ##### Jennifer C. Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Marina E. 4 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy We used the house minimally for sleeping overnight during a family reunion trip and it was great for that purpose. Everything was immaculately clean and organized. The owner communicated with us about everything we needed to know and was so attentive to addressing anything we had a hard time with quickly. Rob and Lolly were so friendly and welcoming. Pros:- amazing books and cds collection as well as board games. - plenty of room to store shoes. - everything is stocked. There’s plenty of pot, pans, sponges, soap, detergents for all machines, toilet paper, shampoos, …. Etc. Cons:- when used at maximum capacity storage can feel a bit limited. We were 6 adults and 2 kids, and we mostly had to keep our stuff in our luggage the entire time. - the outdoor area is gorgeous but there’s a lot of mosquitoes because of the many trees. ##### Marina E. Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2025 Archival ### 8/10 Good #### Amy N. 12 Jul 2016 #### Beautiful, low key getaway! We booked last minute when we saw there was a cancellation over a holiday weekend. Lolly was super responsive and helpful, and the house was adorable, convenient, and just what we were looking for. Tall Timbers is made for families, and the little beach and kid-friendly marina restaurant were perfect for our toddler. We had a problem with the cable- which we only cared about because it was raining!- and Lolly called and helped us work if out. We never did get the Internet working, but we played outside and didn't mind since we were having so much fun as a family. The house has everything you need, the kitchen has all the extras, and the only thing we'd recommend is stopping for groceries on your way in. ##### Amy N. Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2016 Archival ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rathini V. 21 Jul 2015 #### Peaceful stay I stayed three nights at this property with my two teenage boys and small dog and we had a very pleasant stay. It made it so much more enjoyable for me to be able to bring my dog along. We walked down to the beach a couple of times, sat on the dock at the nearby marina and watched people fishing. As the owners will tell you, the water is not suitable for swimming but there are plenty of other things to do. We drove to Solomon Island one evening and walked on the boardwalk watching the sun set. The Piney Point Lighthouse is just a couple of miles away from the property and is a quite and yet historic location to visit and to sit by the water on the docks. The house was comfortable and just the right size for my small family. I cooked a couple of meals using the Lolly's utensils which meant that we did not have to eat out as much. Having a washer and dryer on site was very convenient. And so were the guide books and maps which gave me an idea of things to do nearby. As a first time renter, my experience was on overall a very positive one. ##### Rathini V. ---
