Waterfront cottage for paddle boarding, kayaking, crabbing, and fishing

This renovated waterfront one bedroom cottage is located in a quiet community called Banks O'dee. Located one hour from DC and close to wineries and historic Virginia.

The house itself offers a view of Cuckold Creek and Perry Branch. We have a large pier that is shared with our home next door, boat ramp and swimming off the pier.

You’ll find an abundance of wildlife here. It's not unusual to be sitting out in the yard, near the pier, and see bald eagles, osprey, swans & great blue heron doing their thing. Frequently, you will see deer standing along the side of Banks O’ Dee Road.

The house is located in an old fashioned charming community, on a creek right off the historic Potomac River. The community is very small and quiet, and the neighbors are very friendly!

The Ospreys have built a nest on top of our boat house. They come in the summer to escape South America’s winter. Sometimes you will experience the pleasure of seeing our American Bald Eagles and the Osprey putting on an air show , in the sky, above you. They love to chase one another. The eagles sit in the trees directly across the creek from us. You can recognize them from their white heads.

You are more than welcome to bring your boat, jet ski, kayak or canoe and use our private pier along with the community boat ramp. You can navigate to several restaurants from Cuckold Creek to the Potomac river. Charter fishing, boat rentals, and cruises can be reserved at nearby Cobb Island. Crab traps, kayaks, paddle boards and bicycles are provided for your use.

Tourism from here: in Maryland, Virginia, Washington, DC area; One hour to all the following: U.S. Capitol and Museums, Old Town Alexandria, VA, Potomac Mills Shopping Mall (one of the largest malls on the east coast), Mt.

This is just a great place to relax and decompress from the fast pace of the city life!
Thank you,
