About this house rental
THORNTON Estate, established in 1664, is a quintessential Eastern Shore estate. The magnificent manor house anchors the 325 acre preserved farm outside of Chestertown Maryland.
Lord Baltimore granted the original patent for Thornton from colonial lands he received from King Charles I of England in the early 17th century. Conveyed to Philip Hopkins in 1693 the estate is still owned by his direct descendants. The current manor house — built in 1815 — was fully renovated in 2008.

Four generations of my family, aged 8 to 80, spent Christmas week here. There was something for everyone in the house and on the property. The antebellum mansion has been beautifully restored, with the addition of modern bathrooms and a gorgeous modern kitchen. It’s a beautiful, comfortable space for a family celebration.

Peaceful and tranquil. The inside was classic. The outside was filled with natural beauty and variety.

We had a great time. We showed up with our stuff, and everything was ready to go. We were impressed with the number of items in the kitchen that we could use to prep our meals. The place is gigantic inside and out, and the property is beautifully maintained. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and are thinking it may be a required revisit next Summer!
