Nancy’s Touch, A Waterfront Paradise!

Nancy’s Touch, named after the amazing woman who developed and maintained the beautiful gardens, is situated in one of the best locations available on the northern end of the Chesapeake. From sunrise to sunset, the view of the juncture of the three rivers (the North East, Susquehanna, and Elk) that merge to create the Chesapeake Bay commands your attention. Soaring osprey, bald eagles, great blue heron and other waterfowl delight as well.

This one-acre property has been in the same family since the 1920’s, and we look forward to now sharing it with others. The one-story home features:

Amazing house

We stayed here as a staycation while we moved. It was a welcomed rest and relaxation spot. It has an amazing view, great space. I could definitely see ourselves staying there again… even though we are locals to the area.

This was our third stay and we lucked out with beautiful weather. We were outside the whole time we stayed. We invited our good friends who stayed for a night and they loved the place too. Our dog Moe also loves the fenced yard and our strolls around the beautiful garden. Thanks for sharing your home!

Pet-friendly property with so many outdoor areas to choose from. The fenced area for dogs is ample and completely enclosed - something we rarely find when searching for rentals.What a delight to see evidence of Nancy's love of gardening. Paths wend among planting beds, with benches for quiet contemplation.This is a home we will return to.
