Summary: I can’t say enough too things about Porter’s Barn. The location was perfect, it was quiet and so surreal. The house itself was adorable. We had plenty of towels and toiletries. There was wood for the outdoor fire pit, even some citronella candles available. We didn’t use these, the misquotes were out in full force and I get eaten alive, so we skipped the outdoor activities at night. Contact with the host was great, they always texted back with any questions we had. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend Porter’s Barn!

Summary: If you want a place to just getaway, I recommend coming here. Beautiful view of the water and kayaks are easily accessible. Clean place, beautiful windows all around, and a fire pit outside! Will have to come back and stay here again.

Summary: The Porter’s Barn is perfect for anyone wishing to escape, relax, and recharge! Beautiful sunrises and incredible birdwatching right out of the amazing windows of the cottage. We even saw a Great Horned Owl come down right in front of us at dusk on our last evening there! So nice to have the kayaks right there on the property for use, as well. The cottage was extremely clean and very well appointed with everything that we needed to enjoy our stay. The property owner, Jenny, was so nice and was quick to answer any of our questions. We are both public school teachers and staying here was the prefect way to mentally prepare for the upcoming school year. Bring on the kiddos!! Thank you, Jenny!

Summary: Our time at The Porter’s Barn was everything we dreamed of! The barn is so beautiful with concrete floors, spa-like bathroom, full kitchen with sleek appliances. It was so appreciated to have the kitchen stocked with several pantry staples, such as salt/pepper, foil, parchment paper, Keurig pods, and more. Full size stove top, oven, dishwasher, and all the dishes and pans you might need. The fire pit was pre-stocked with kindling & fire wood. Of course you need to come prepared to use bug spray, but that is to be expected with the beautiful wooded setting. I loved the outdoor ground lighting that illuminated the property at night. The wifi & cell signal is weak- which may be a good thing if looking to escape. Would not be an ideal remote work location. The owner, Jenny, was so kind, welcoming, & helpful with any questions we had. All of Assateague island can be reached within a 30-60min drive. There’s a Food Lion, pharmacy, sonic, & family dollar “in town” about 10-15 mins from the property. 10/10 recommend!
