About this villa rental
Summary:
Blake House represents one of the oldest colonial homes in Maryland, built by British settler, Charles Blake, of London, England, in 1691. The house is nestled within 12 acres of manicured gardens, boasting an abundance of indigenous and foreign flora, and surrounded by direct water access. But the most unique feature of this property is the Crown and Anchor Inn (circa. 1735), originally located in Southern Baltimore and moved to the estate in 1941.
The Space:
The estate boasts limitless amenities to ensure guests of all ages, sensibilities and sizes are entertained for days and days. Blake House offers an open plan living experience with expansive water views. Blake House has four ensuite bedrooms (one on the first floor). The grounds offer a 100ft pier, outdoor corn hole and bocce ball courts, multiple outdoor dining areas, orchid potting shed, sauna house, fire-pits, lookouts, Kayaks, canoe and nature trails. The Crown and Anchor Inn has a bar, seating, wood burning fireplace, billiards table, foose ball, and mini dance floor. The Inn has two bedrooms, a full bathroom, and a viewing platform on the second floor.
Be prepared to immerse yourself in the storybook of Blake House. You will not want to leave this magical place.
Don't forget to ask about our Elevated Experiences, including massage and Chef services!
Other Things to Note:
Whilst Blake House is a great place to host events, please be aware that there is a $100 per person, per day, fee when guests exceed 12.
Pet fees are $50 per pet, per night, with a cap of three pets. Please ensure pets are kept off furniture and beds. Pets are also not allowed to enter the pool as this seriously destabilizes the chemicals and damages the filter system. Violations of these rules will incur additional fees and/or penalties.
Please note that due to insurance and county guidelines a property specific rental agreement will have to be completed prior to your stay.
Interaction with Guests:
We are available 24/7 to answer all questions and address any concerns. We also offer assistance in making your stay extra special and exceeding guest’s expectations. If you can imagine it, we will do our best to make it happen!

We loved our stay at the house and are still talking about how lovely the house was. The hosts have the home stocked with everything you could need. We had a memorable holiday and the house was magnificent. Great hosts, we can’t thank them enough. The game room was an added bonus for everyone too. Lastly, the dinner prepared and presented by Chef Erica was incredible!!!

I highly recommend! The property was stunning, full of thoughtful amenities, and very clean. A group of nine 40-something friends spent the week simply enjoying the house, grounds, pool, fire pit, kayaks, etc. We had no reason nor desire to leave! We saw osprey, bald eagles, and blue herons among other wild life.The owners were completely accessible to us the entire time for anything we needed, although everything was easy, even down to labeled light switches. So thoughtful! Also, we had Chef Erica (arranged by our hosts) cook an amazing dinner for us. Also, highly recommend her! I only have one "note:" The main house/master suite was amazing! Clearly it was renovated with older and/or disabled guests in mind. However, accessibility to the pool was more challenging than expected due to some uneven brick and loose gravel paths not conducive to mobility aids or anything that rolls. And the pool is not directly off of the main house, so it was slightly further than anticipated. While this is likely a non-issue for most people, I did want to mention it since one of the appeals of the property was the disability-friendly master bedroom. So others with disabled or older guests may want to be aware. This did not impact my score, which is a 10/10, because this is a very specific issue for someone with specific mobility needs.Overall, it was a luxurious and unforgettable experience. The grounds and river views were breathtaking!

We loved our getaway to beautiful Blake House on the shore of the Corsica River! It was the perfect setting for a reunion and celebration with our dear friends. The home and grounds are gorgeous. We enjoyed the lovely pool and spent many hours in the Adirondack chairs surrounding the fire pit. Our only regret was not having more time to enjoy it all! Matt and Gerry were so welcoming, kind, and responsive to my many questions. We loved it and hope to be back! Thank you!
