Note: Briarcliff Retreat was not available for rent for rent from August of 2015 thru May 2017
What an idyllic spot for our family to simply relax and recharge. After what has been a long, tough fall, we accepted the challenge to sit and read on every porch, deck, dock, and comfy chair. Not quite mission accomplished, but that's because the window seat was just too inviting! We now return to the real world a little stronger and a lot clearer of mind. Thank you!

p.s. Thanks to Erin and Christine for all of your help!
Thank you so much for sharing your amazing home with our family. We were able to relax and enjoy Annapolis in much a different light than previously experienced (USNA 99). We hope to meet both of you in the future. Happy Holidays!

p.s. Christine was wonderful.
Thank you for letting us visit in your beautiful home. Such a lovely spot! Especially loved the peaceful and beautiful surroundings nestled up above Chase Creek. Our midshipman says "Cool House". I think he actually caught up on a little rest yesterday. I will miss the breeze and sounds from the water and trees. Thank you.

What a wonderful getaway. The view and everything around the house is beautiful! Thank you for letting us vacation here. It has been a blast!
Relaxation at it's best!
My wife and I work long and hard therefore vacation for us is all about relaxing, reconnecting and replenishing. Briarcliff was the perfect remedy! Lazy days on the extensive deck and/or hammock and/or fishing/crabbing on the private pier. The grounds are lush and provides just the right amount of privacy, the views from both inside the house and out are spectacular, exhilarating and refreshing. Briarcliff had me wishing I were a seaman and owned a boat then I we would have been able to take full advantage of all Briarcliff had to offer. I could go on and on and on, but I think you get the point... It's a great place and fantastic experience. Strongly recommended!!!
What a gem! Beautiful weather and multiple amazing outdoor hideaways. It was the perfect location for rest and relaxation. Thank you for opening your home to us. We would love to come back.

5 stars: Exquisite, inside and out!
Stunning house in an exquisite location! The house is bright and full of light, with beautiful furnishings and a wonderful gourmet kitchen. The view of and access to Chase Creek and the Severn River was amazing, both to enjoy from the house as well as down on the dock. The grounds were lovely, with many places to enjoy a book under the trees while enjoying the view of boats on the creek. Our family met there from 3 states, and it was a perfect gathering place. What we loved most: the wonderful windows and beautiful, open feel of the house. The comfortable beds and bedrooms. The exquisite views and outdoor spaces. The kitchen! Being a few minutes from Annapolis, but on the water instead of in the city. Fishing and crabbing from the dock. The kayaks we rented and had delivered to the dock. Easy trip (45 minutes) from DC and BWI. And Christine, who was so helpful in answering questions and a great resource.
Stylish Family friendly escape
On a last minute whim, my husband and I took our kids (ages 5 and 6) down to Annapolis to spend a weekend with a friend. We could not have been more delighted. This home is beautifully decorated, comfortable, user friendly and wonderfully positioned. There is a fantastic breeze that comes up the bank from the water, and gorgeous views all around. The kids joined a friend and neighbor on a boat trip, launched from the dock, and swam each day. The kitchen is a chef's dream. We had a fantastic dinner for 6 out on the porch, under the stars. Also took the kids for a walk down the road to visit the horses, and made an easy hop onto the B&A bike path. Hope to be back just as soon as we can!
An amazing stay. Beautiful weather, great friends and fantastic food cooked in an incredible kitchen. Couldn't ask for a better escape - even if it was last minute. How we get the chance to come back soon!

Ideal Easter Respite
My family met up with another family at the Briarcliff Retreat to spend Easter weekend together. Our jaws collectively dropped as we first walked through the doors and took in all the features of this stunning home! The house is bathed in sunlight and comfortably appointed with contemporary furniture, artwork, and amenities. The kitchen is a chef's dream, with generous counter space and seating, plenty of light, and state-of-the-art appliances. The living room, bedrooms, and bathrooms all offer aesthetically perfect touches everywhere you look. The views from every room are spectacular. The deck is perfectly placed to enjoy happy hour among the trees and water. The dock would be ideal for sailors! I watched the moon rise through the trees and glitter the water from the master bedroom - such a luxury. We are already planning our next escape to the Briarcliff Retreat.
