Holiday houses in West Friendship, Howard County

Perfect Stay in Deale, MD I had a fantastic stay at this beautiful waterfront home on Carr’s Creek. The hosts were incredibly attentive and made sure I was comfortable the entire time. We had snow during my stay, and they had the driveway and sidewalks cleared almost immediately after it stopped—such a thoughtful touch! The views here are stunning—pictures don’t do this place justice. It’s peaceful, quiet, and in a friendly neighborhood where I felt completely safe. It’s also super convenient, close to great food and anything else you might need. The house felt like home—spacious, welcoming, and fully stocked, especially the fantastic kitchen. Whether cooking, bird watching, soaking in the hot tub, or taking in the view, it was the perfect getaway. If you’re looking for a peaceful escape with family or loved ones, I can’t recommend this place enough!

Great place. Spotless with tons of amenities. Beautiful sunrise over the water in the morning. Nice sized newer dock to walk out on to feel closer to water and nature. Stylish and comfortable furnishings. Can’t wait to come back!

The perfect getaway! Place was very clean and fresh and host went above and beyond to include any toiletries we might need, plus the rice cooker/griddle/waffle maker/ pots and pan meant we had what we needed to make fresh food, because we just wanted to stay in and enjoy the view and ambiance! We got lucky with such beautiful weather, and even a foggy morning with a sprinkle was spectacular. A really unforgettable experience remembering the little things that truly matter in this life. First coming to the property, we were greeted with an adorable tortoise and breathtaking scenery!! Will absolutely come back whenever we plan our next trip!!

Margie was great. She introduced herself to my son and I right when we got there. The accommodations were excellent. Beds were super comfy and everything was very clean. House sits right on a small lake in a very nice neighborhood.

It’s super cute, quaint and has such character. Something for the whole family we will be back.

Great place and nice host. Would stay again definitely worth the price. The property was awesome, great place for a fire pit and barbecue.

This is our fourth year here and it is always a great experience! Jeanne is super communicate and always helpful! The location and house are beautiful! The amenities are excellent: fire pit with wood, pool, and hot tub. Will be coming here forever.

This house was perfect for our DC family trip. It's a beautiful space and slept all 10 of us comfortably in actual beds. It's in a good neighborhood and great location to easily reach the National Mall and surrounding area which is where we spent our time. It was clean and comfortable with enough space for us to spread out and relax after a long day of sightseeing. Although I don't think we'll rebook here because DC is a one time vacation for us, I highly recommend anyone visiting with a larger group and for a week like us to stay here. Thank you for helping make our trip memorable!

Cheryl’s stay was so peaceful, comfortable and fun — even before pool season started. We could not believe how large the yard was and how quiet it was. Amazing wildlife. We saw bald eagles, heron, geese and lots of ducks! The house was squeaky clean and had everything we needed. We watched the stars at night and slept soundly. Downtown St. Michael’s is only about 10 minutes away and full of fun things to do. We’re so happy to be acquainted with the area after staying at Cheryl’s!
