Nice waterfront property

We enjoyed our stay here. The dock and waterfront views were amazing! The kayaking was fun. Just a shame we are in a drought because river was too low to go out on Sun. Furniture not the best for comfort but other amenities were good!

Great stay

Beautiful house, perfect for our family. The humans loved kayaking and bird watching on the river, the canine loved sitting out on the fenced in deck and relaxing in the nice cool AC

Weekend visit to Chestertown

Loved having coffee on the dock in the morning with the geese. We were back and forth to WAC most of the weekend but enjoyed a nice paddle one afternoon (joined by a bald eagle!). Will definitely return.

Tranquility

This was a much needed weekend away and we hit the jackpot! Communication with our host was excellent and so accommodating. We searched for a place where we could relax and have fun, and this rental checked all the boxes. Beautifully decorated, picturesque setting, with all the special touches. I would rent this home again and work with this host for any other properties.

Lark's Nest on the Chester River

The Lark's Nest is in a nice location. The home decor is pleasant to the eyes and well-arranged. The host provided us with all the necessities (towels, cooking supplies, cleaning supplies, and toiletries). The cons were dirty ceiling fans, the sofa needed cleaning, and the outside lighting needed to be brightened. A mouse was found in the house. The host was apologetic, accommodated us financially, and sent out an exterminator to handle the rodent issue. Overall, the actual place was a good stay despite the mouse.

Excellent place to stay!

I booked this house for a week as a quiet fishing trip get away. For starters Leone is awesome, always responds quick and is an amazing host.The house itself: was very clean, cozy, and had everything needed for a very comfortable stay. Other reviews said furniture was uncomfortable but I thought it was fine. Location was 3 min to foodlion, 10ish min to gas station, and about 16 min to large store for fishing gear. TV has netflix and lots of other shows to watch if thats what you want but most of the time I spent outside fishing.Fishing: By far best fishing I have ever done! Private dock was large and allowed to move around to fish different areas. River water usually was lower during most mid days but rose at night and mornings, which was great because it allows you to look for areas you could get snagged in. The deepest water is on the other side of the river but, I promise this dock is in a prime location.I caught 19 fish during the week. 2 Large mouth bass, 6 blue gill, 4 white perch, a ton of catfish/bull head (head out around 7 or just after sunset, will guarentee to catch catfish) i used worms and let it sit at the bottom. Tons of wildlife, very peaceful, a true hidden gem!!

Lark’s Nest was a cute little place! Very clean! The view from the patio was stunning, and if you’re a bird lover you will be in your glory! Bring your binoculars and sit on the deck and wait! House was well equipped with most everything you would need! Host was very quick to write back when asked a question! First time in this area and hopefully be back again in the future!

Lovely Retreat with Water Access for Kayaking

Our stay was like house sitting for a good friend or family member. We were very comfortable and this was easily the best stocked rental we've ever stayed in. The host has thought of almost everything you could need and keeps a spotless rental. We can't comment on the second floor as our other family members had to cancel at the last minute, but a quick look-see showed that it was well stocked, too. Bad weather kept us from enjoying the outside, but I'm sure it is quite nice in the summer. The house sits off of a fairly busy two lane road, but we were pleasantly surprised at how little noise we heard and that wasn't often or intrusive. Having a washer and dryer, a large frig/freezer and dishwasher made the stay easily managed, even for a larger group. With hotel rooms in the area frequently having ridiculous prices, this gem of a rental for a family is greatly appreciated. We will return!
