The Yellow Cottage on Harness Creek
The minute you step into our charming waterfront cottage you will feel right at home!
Situated on Harness Creek, in a quiet residential neighborhood, the Yellow Cottage is a great place to 'get away from it all'. Recently renovated, our historic cottage has all of the modern day comforts to make your stay enjoyable. With the original heart pine floors and a huge farm sink in the kitchen, we have retained the feeling of a true waterfront cottage.
A cheerful country kitchen greets you as you enter the front door. If it's just a cup of tea you want or something more elaborate, the kitchen has it all. Beyond the kitchen is a sunny combination dining and living room area. Two oversize comfy chairs face the water in the sitting area where you can read or relax with a glass of wine.
With the two bedrooms, the cottage sleeps four guests in either a queen or full sized bed. A sleep sofa in the living room can sleep additional guests.
During the summer months enjoy life on the creek! Bring your fishing rod and cast from the pier or try your hand at catching some local crabs. Kayaks and paddle boards are included for your enjoyment. Visit us during the fall and watch the leaves change across the creek from your Adirondack chair each morning. Or settle in for a cozy winter weekend at the cottage with a good book and some hot chocolate!

This was a great place to relax, have time to disconnect, and time to enjoy the company of my good friend. Loved the location and walked to the winery for a fabulous afternoon picnic.
Great cottage along a quiet road in a private setting. This is just what my family was looking for to escape the busy weekend in Annapolis. Will not hesitate to schedule future stays at this home.
When we walked in it felt so cozy. Love that it has beautiful views of the water. So nice to be out in the country area yet minutes from downtown Annapolis. The 50th high school reunion was awesome! Thank you Rhonda for a wonderful stay 💕Dottie and Jeff
Our family of three adored staying in this beautiful, sweet cottage. Charming decorations, amazing location in the Chesapeake basin, and a very well appointed home made our first time to the area a very memorable and relaxing trip. Just what we needed!
This was just a super place- right in the water and beautiful… and surprisingly spacious for a cottage. I loved the kitchen farm sink and the sun coming in the morning off the bay. Will definitely love to stay again. The owner was so nice and thought of all the little details!! Thank you!!
Wonderful stay, great space and location. We loved the lush garden and atmosphere. Thanks Rhonda for having us at your beautiful Yellow cottage. Greetings Ruth and family
We had a wonderful time staying at the cottage for my husband’s birthday weekend. The home was cozy and just what we needed! The hosts had flowers in almost every room and the lily’s blooming outside were beautiful!
The Yellow Cottage was a perfect spot for my daughter and I to spend the weekend near Annapolis. The location was perfect, near the city but also very close to a delightful winery. Everything was provided which means you can pack lightly. We unfortunately did not have the opportunity to hit the water on this trip.
Highly recommend. Beautiful spot and a wonderful cottage. Rhonda does an amazing job of making you feel at home. My son is at the Academy and with all the pressures they have on them, to see him be able to sit out by the water so peacefully and just relax was so enjoyable. We'll be back for sure.
My wife and I had a wonderful time staying at the Yellow Cottage. The location is peaceful but still close enough to everything you would want to do. Owner is very friendly and available if needed. Would highly recommend if you are planning a stay in Annapolis. Would easily consider staying again if coming back to the area.
We had a beautiful and restful stay while our daughter attended a summer provram at the Naval Academy. Rhonda was so helpful and kind with lots of good suggestions. Her gardens are amazing and the cottage was comfortable and well stocked. . The only suggestion is to bring beach shoes if you want to swim or kayak-very slippery by dock.
Though the cottage is in a neighborhood, it was easy to get to any area of Annapolis. It was peaceful and quiet and relaxing. We would definitely stay there again.
What a magical property! Very cute, with a well-appointed kitchen (and amazing farm sink). Steps from the water, and having direct access to kayaks was so convenient. Only complaint is that the beds and furniture are, unfortunately, uncomfortable. Overall, a great place.
Better than described and just perfectly quaint and welcoming. Gorgeous neighborhood with lots of walking, including short walk to great frogs winery. Thank you for a wonderful stay!
