Summary: This was our second Easter spent at the Thomas Harrison house and walking in the door felt like coming home again. There is plenty of space inside and out and plenty of cosy nooks. Town is steps away--enjoy shopping and yummy meals. Views of the lake from certain rooms in the house are the icing on th cake. Can't wait for next year!!

Summary: Perfect location enabling us to walk everywhere in St Michaels. Nice water views As stated in the house description it’s a historic property. Some of the furniture is very worn and the kitchen,although large,does need a renovation. There is also a hole in the ceiling in one of the living rooms

Summary: If you love history, you will love this house. It is wonderfully maintained and decorated. It sits in the heart of St. Michaels and looks out on the town park and the water. The large, well-outfitted kitchen and generous table comfortably accommodated our crowd. Each bedroom had unique features. Thomas was very friendly and helpful. A great visit!

Summary: Perfect location and such a neat old house. You could spend hours just walking around looking at the pictures and the books. It was great to have the space to spread out when people wanted time alone—3 downstairs living room-type spaces is great for a multi-generational trip. Only downside was crummy linens and towels (I mean, visiting your buddy in college crummy) and musty smells to bedding including pillows themselves. It’s a maritime climate and things get damp for sure, but for the price, I expected at least Motel 6 level. My parents bought new pillows at Target. Just plan to bring your own linens (like many VRBOs) and pillows, and you’ll have a great time.
