Summary: We were in the area for the Naval Academy induction. Traveling from Ohio and Alabama, we always choose to stay somewhere that we can relax between sightseeing. This location was perfect for that! Peaceful setting with easy access to local food options. We were able to get to Annapolis in 30 minutes and also did a day in DC. The house is well-stocked with everything you need to cook at home and the beds were very comfortable. We would definitely stay here again if we were back in the area!
