Potomac River Woodland Cottage, Polite Pets welcomed, Central Air, Killer Sunset

Time stands still at Tall Timbers; an almost forgotten Maryland treasure. Consisting of two rows of houses sandwiched between the Potomac River and a dense timbered forest 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. Fully renovated, with stunning sunset views over the Potomac River and woodland to the rear you will find a spotless single-level home less than 2 hours from D.C. Located across the street from River at its widest (about 3 miles), 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. Two of the three bedrooms are furnished as bedrooms. The third is used as a den with an ambiance fireplace, Smart TV, playbox, and fold-out bed to supplement the living room sofa-bed. Tall Timbers Cottage is cozy to sleep 7. We love to watch the abundance of wildlife from the large flagstone patio. 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, Netflix, Wi-Fi, and fast internet.

The central heat and air conditioning means comfortable all the time. In addition, to the electric fireplace in the dining room, there is an outdoor fire pit for wood fires, and the ambience of a faux fire with battery operated candles in the den. All windows are screened and open if you want to feel the breezes off the river and listen to the chorus of bird songs.

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 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. Located fifteen miles by car from Historic St. Mary's City (Maryland's Colonial Capitol dating to 1634) and many other adventures.
