About this house rental
Welcome to Goose Landing, our serene waterfront haven nestled on over three acres along the beautiful Fairlee Creek. We're thrilled to share our secluded 4-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom home with you, offering 350 feet of private waterfront and breathtaking panoramic views.
Unwind and explore at your own pace. Enjoy the peace and quiet, gather around the fire pit for cozy evenings, and take advantage of our complimentary kayaks and canoe to explore the tranquil waters. Our private dock is perfect for year-round fun, whether you're into water skiing, kayaking, or fishing. Bringing your own boat? Feel free to dock it with us at no extra charge! For some friendly competition, shoot some hoops on our basketball court or enjoy a game of badminton.
A Birdwatcher's Paradise!
Birding enthusiasts, you're in for a treat! Fairlee Creek is an incredible spot for birdwatching, teeming with a rich variety of bird species typical of coastal Maryland. Keep an eye out for waterfowl, majestic raptors, and delightful songbirds. We've personally spotted a diverse array of feathered friends, including:
• Red-bellied Woodpeckers
• Cardinals
• Blue Jays
• Tundra Swans
• Bald Eagles
• Osprey
• Baltimore Orioles
• Canada Geese
• Snowy Egrets
• Wood Ducks
• Cormorants
• Great Blue Herons
Come experience tranquility and adventure at Goose Landing!
The space
Sleep
Our spacious home is designed with families in mind, offering four comfortable bedrooms. The primary bedroom, located on the first floor, features a king bed and an attached private bathroom. The remaining bedrooms are upstairs, accessible via a charming spiral staircase. Bedrooms 2 and 3 each have queen beds, while the fourth bedroom is perfect for kids, with a queen bed and two twin bunk beds. An additional bathroom with a tub is also located upstairs.
Entertain
Goose Landing is perfect for family fun and entertaining. The large great room with TV and billiard table is ideal for cozy gatherings. Multiple outdoor deck areas, a screened-in porch, and a patio provide plenty of space to enjoy the fresh air. The expansive yard includes an asphalt play area with a basketball hoop, as well as badminton and pickleball nets (not regulation size) for hours of fun. The well-equipped kitchen, complete with a large breakfast bar, invites everyone to join in the cooking. We even have a piano for our musical guests!
Logistics
Our driveway accommodates 3-4 cars. For your convenience, the home is equipped with a keypad door lock, and your code will be sent to you the day before check-in.
For those looking to bring boats during their stay, Fairlee Creek Public Landing is 1/4 mile away and you are welcome to dock your boat on our private dock during your stay. The center of the creek can be counted on to have 3 feet at mean low tide. Typically, the average is closer to 4-5 feet in the center and next to our dock is 2-3 feet of depth. Anyone bringing a boat will need to provide proof of insurance.
Bring your family to Goose Landing for a memorable and fun-filled getaway!
Guest access
Guests have access to the entire property, including the dock, kayaks, canoe, and sports courts. Please be mindful of our neighbors, as sound carries easily along the waterfront. We appreciate you respecting quiet hours between 10pm -10am. Guests will be required to sign a liability waiver for the use of these amenities. This is not a party house.
Other things to note
While we admire and appreciate fury friends, we do not allow them in our home. If this is an issue, we are happy to provide information on pet boarding as an alternative during your stay.
This is our personal vacation home, so you may notice some of our personal belongings around. We kindly ask that you leave them as they are while you are visiting.
Please note that if you cancel a booked reservation, and it is within the timeframe for a full refund, you will receive the refund minus the credit card processing fee of 2.9%.

We have stayed in many rental properties over the years, and Lydia is easily among the very best hosts we have ever had! Her communication was excellent from the time we had questions prior to making the reservation, and especially during our stay there. The property is beautiful and looks just like the pictures. The owners use the place themselves, and it felt very homey with their games, CDs and photos on the walls. The dock and stairs leading to the dock seem nearly new and are super solid - we especially enjoyed fishing from there and using the canoe and kayaks. We also used the basketball net too which was also fun. The layout is excellent with 2 separate living rooms and a screened in porch which was great for our group of 8. The kitchen was well stocked with utensils and cookware etc, and the outdoor grill is in great condition. One thing we hadn’t realized is that the spiral steps in then photo are the only steps to the second floor. It was not a problem for all of our adult children, but they might prove tricky for some. But the star of the property is the view - there are large glass doors and windows in both living rooms, so the water is always in view. And the sitting area at the top of the steps makes you feel like you are up in the trees, and has probably the best view from the house. Anyway, not sure why I wrote such a long review, but we all loved the place, and Lydia is an exceptional host!

A great family friendly place in a great spot on the water with all the amenities. The host was very responsive and provided detailed information.

One of the best VRBO experiences ever! From our first interaction Lydia was so kind, thoughtful and communicative. She gave us great insights on the area, ideas on how to spend the weekend and thought of all the little touches to make it a great stay for us. We are so grateful and will be back! The layout is perfect for a family, especially anyone who needs a ground floor suite and there's plenty of space while feeling connected. We also really enjoyed the time on the water and the dock (despite some rainy weather) and also the cozy feeling of the house watching the rain outside. Lydia was also extremely generous in her time when a package we had ordered arrived late and helped us coordinate a return plan. Above and beyond and can't wait to come back to this special place :)

Lovely, clean property. Was counting on swimming off the dock which was not advisable, according to directions upon arrival. Taking boat out was dependent upon tides.
