The Boat Loft is ideal for guests who would like to have grand parents or another couple join the party (two person occupancy maximum) yet have their own self-contained accommodation. The Loft affords guests more privacy and a space to unwind away from the activity. The Boat Loft is attached to the main house and has its own secure entry. Well appointed, the Loft is a studio space full of light bringing nature into focus. A comfortable King bed, seating area for four, walk in shower and complete kitchen provide all of the comforts.
The Boat Loft is available only to guests booking Holly Knoll during the rental season and for an additional fee. The CLUB FEE will already be included in the quote. If you do not need the Boat Loft, just let me know and I will remove the CLUB FEE from Quote prior to booking or refund from the bill.
Holly Knoll is situated one mile from Historic St. Mary’s City and St. Mary’s College, Holly Knoll is a world apart from the everyday. Unwind and collect those precious memories with family and friends. Crab from the dock and enjoy Maryland’s finest shellfish. Take the Canoe or Kayak and explore the surrounding tidal estuary and small ponds. Soak in the sun and quiet beauty and experience old-fashioned tidewater summers. The St Mary's River is one of the cleanest waterways feeding the Chesapeake and the property is part of the Maryland Oyster Restoration Program.
Let your inner Julia escape the confines of the everyday. The gourmet kitchen has every amenity a budding chef could want. Dual fuel Wolf range with two ovens and Cuisinart as well as top of the line All Clad cookware will assist you as you prepare fresh produce gathered from the local farmers market and Amish farms.
Holly Knoll was built in 1993 and was named from the large grove of American Holly that grows along the river and stream banks. It was situated to be in harmony with the natural environment and to take advantage of the beauty of the St. Mary’s River.
Holly Knoll's main house consists of four nicely appointed bedrooms over two floors, accommodating 6-7 guests comfortably. Tucked away on the first floor is the Master Suite complete with steam shower. A full bath is also located on the first floor. The remaining three guest rooms occupy the second floor and share a bath. The second floor bedrooms consist of a king, a king, and a full bed. So in total, the main house has 3 king beds and 1 full bed. With the Boat Loft Holly Knoll has 4 king beds and 1 full bed.
There is a separate office located on the first floor should you choose to connect to the office. High Speed Internet delivers!
One mile from historic St. Mary's City, Maryland's original capital, and 15 miles from beautiful Pt. Lookout Park, Holly Knoll is well located for you to enjoy the beauty and bounty of the Chesapeake Bay. Day trips to Solomon's Island, Smith Island, Leonardtown or Loveville will satisfy your inner adventurer. Visit great little cafes, Amish markets and antique shops and experience for yourself how quiet, serene and hospitable life can be just a short 1.5 hour drive south of Washington DC.
Come and relax, unwind and re-boot! Well behaved dogs (2 max) will be considered.

Perfect River Getaway - Exceeded Every Expectation!We just returned from an absolutely magical time at this stunning river property, and I'm already planning our next visit! From the moment we walked through the door, we were blown away by how immaculately clean and well-maintained the house was. You can tell the hosts take tremendous pride in their property - every surface sparkled, the linens were crisp and fresh, and the kitchen was spotless with everything we needed.The house itself is beautifully appointed with comfortable furnishings and thoughtful touches throughout. The floor plan was perfect for our family gatherings, and the large windows offered breathtaking views of the water from multiple rooms. But the real showstoppers were the outdoor amenities!The pool was absolutely divine - perfectly maintained, and the ideal temperature for both morning laps and afternoon lounging. The hot tub was an added bonus. And then there's that incredible dock... we spent countless hours there reading, fishing, crabbing and simply soaking in the peaceful atmosphere.But nothing could have prepared us for those sunsets from the dock. Every single evening was like a masterpiece painted across the sky, with brilliant oranges and pinks reflecting off the calm water. We found ourselves timing our dinners just to catch the golden hour from that perfect vantage point. It became our favorite daily ritual.

Our family just can’t get enough of this lovely property. We just finished our third year visiting Holly Knoll and have already booked year 4 for August 2026. The home has everything you need for a truly comfortable stay right down to crab traps to use on the dock and the crabs are truly spectacular. We loved the pool and porch sitting and Jack is a great, responsive host. 5 stars every time.

Terrific family time. Beautiful kitchen to make great meals. Pool is fantastic with very nice table and chairs. Uncle and nephews enjoyed the canoe and kayaks. Comfy beds. Only problem is the time passes too quickly.
