Calvert Cliffs State Park and Flag Ponds Nature Park offer sandy beaches on the Chesapeake Bay. These beaches are known worldwide for yielding some amazing finds to fossil hunters.

History buff? St. Leonard Creek is home to the largest naval engagement in Maryland's history - The Battle of St. Leonard Creek. Commodore Joshua Barney and his flotilla fought bravely and slowed the advance of British forces set on invading Washington. Fort Hill Getaway sits on the grounds of the Fort Hill Battery Site, where the elements of the 36th U.S. Infantry and U.S. Marines established an encampment to protect the U.S. Chesapeake Flotilla’s left flank.

NOTE: There is a 450-foot-long, asphalt-paved path to the pier, which is fairly steep for a small distance.

You will have access to the entire lower level of our split-level home with a private entrance, the entire backyard and pier, and use of the covered patio outside your back door. We have patio furniture and a gas firepit for you to enjoy, as well as, an outdoor ping-pong table!

Other things to note
Inquire about the availability of a 15ft jon boat with 5hp outboard motor (subject to availability, at additional cost).

We are pet-friendly but be aware we have a herd of deer on the property. If your pet is inclined to chase them, you may want to consider keeping them on a leash.
