The Oyster House was built in the 1930’s and was originally part of the oyster industry, serving as any oyster shucking cottage. its original charm is being maintained as best we can while still providing guests with some modern comforts. The home is located on Combs Creek, which is a tributary of the Chesapeake Bay.

You are welcome to use the outdoor equipment provided (paddle boards, kayak), so long as you wear a lifejacket and assume personal responsibility for your own safety in the water. Any non-swimmers must wear a lifejacket on the dock. We ask that you not leave any of these items on the dock or by the water unattended. Please hang life jackets and oars back up in the dock shed, leave paddle boards on the dock rack, and the kayak should on the back porch. There is also a corn hole game on the back deck that you are welcome to use, we just ask that you put it back on the porch when you leave. You are welcome to use the grill (propane) and the outdoor shower.
