Nancy’s Touch, A Waterfront Paradise!

Nancy’s Touch, named after the amazing woman who developed and maintained the beautiful gardens, is situated in one of the best locations available on the northern end of the Chesapeake. From sunrise to sunset, the view of the juncture of the three rivers (the North East, Susquehanna, and Elk) that merge to create the Chesapeake Bay commands your attention. Soaring osprey, bald eagles, great blue heron and other waterfowl delight as well.

This one-acre property has been in the same family since the 1920’s, and we look forward to now sharing it with others. The one-story home features:
• large “river room” with an amazing view, sitting and informal dining area
• great room featuring a large congenial living space with TV
• formal dining area
• fully equipped kitchen
• laundry room with washer, dryer and pantry located off the kitchen
• large master bedroom with a queen size bed
• two additional bedrooms; one with a queen and one with twin beds
• all bedrooms have water views
• two baths
• game room complete with a pinball machine, foosball table, and baseball game
• outdoor deck, patio seating, and covered deck near waterfront
• lush lawn and garden areas directly accessible from the river room
• well behaved, mature dogs allowed for a nightly fee (Absolute limit is two dogs, and a full description will be required prior to approval); a large, fully fenced yard is available to them directly from the laundry room
• two single kayaks, two stand up paddle boards and life preservers
• recommend bringing water shoes, as the beach is rocky
• main entrance of home is wheelchair accessible; remainder of home is not ADA

Chesapeake Gem
We spent 10 days here, and it was a relaxing and restful vacation. We visited nearby towns but also were happy to just stay and enjoy sitting by the bay or watching from the river room. The weather was not great - dreary and no sunsets - but we still had a good time! The house had everything we needed and just felt like home. Would definitely return and hope for sunshine!

Nancy’s Touch, A Waterfront Paradise!
This was the second time that we had a family vacation at Nancy’s Touch. We really like the house and location. The view is great. It's a great place to relax & watch the wildlife(ospreys, Bald eagles, herons, etc) and do some paddling.

August Getaway
We had another wonderful stay during our third visit to this lovely property. We took our teenage niece and nephew this time, and had fun playing games, paddle boarding and crabbing. As always, the dogs loved swimming every day and playing in their own private, fenced yard. We completed our visit with a takeout seafood dinner from Woody’s. We can’t wait to come back again next year!

College Drop Off
My family of 4 plus my sister and brother in law made this our home base for UD drop off, coming from IL. It was the most perfect place to relax and enjoy the Chesapeake Bay. So spacious and had everything we could possibly need. North East is a cute town for shopping and eating. Would love to stay again. Thank you!

Relaxing getaway
We have never been on a more relaxing getaway than the times we spend at the beautiful and idyllic Nancy’s Touch. We try to get back there at least once a year, and it is lovely in every season. Our dog Jax loves the freedom of the spacious fenced in yard. Susan and Eric

This is the Place to Stay
Nancy’s Touch is the best accommodation in Cecil County. We have stayed at many other places over the years and nothing compares to this one. The home and garden are gorgeous, the area is so private and serene with amazing water views. This house and property is like a home away from home. Everything you could possibly need is provided. My husband and I stay four times a year and love it more with each visit.

Family wedding
We ( 6 adults) came for a wedding nearby and chose Nancy's Touch for our home base. It is a wonderful, serene place with special, thoughtful touches throughout. We especially enjoyed the provided kayaks and paddle boards. Had we been within driving distance we would have also brought our dog- he would have been thrilled with the setting and the private dog park attached to the house. Truly a home away from home and we would love to return to return one day.

Another lovely stay
Nancy’s Touch is our home away from home when traveling to the area to visit with family. Everything you could need to enjoy some downtime admiring the water views and basking in the nature that surrounds this lovely home. The owners are wonderful and quickly responsive to any questions/needs that may arise. Would highly recommend!!
