“…a serene, scenic setting, nestled in the heart of Harris Creek”

Harris Cove Cottages is a unique, waterfront village, located just five minutes from the center of St. Michaels, Maryland. There are eight cottages, six of which are individual, forming an echelon of sailors saluting our picturesque private driveway. The other two are the Heron’s Nest and the Stateroom, which sit majestically as a centerpiece on two acres of bulk-headed, waterfront property.

Our Williamsburg-style, modern cottages offer the simple pleasures of yesteryear with amenities of today. The units are private, attractive, comfortable, air-conditioned, and cozy, each providing a spectacular view of our virtually private cove and expansive open waters of Harris Creek. The cottages sleep up to a family of four; most have fully-equipped kitchens; all have beautiful waterfront views!

Youngsters can skip along the bulkhead or enjoy a paddle board, canoe, or kayak for a free cruise around the cove. Oldsters can relax on one of the many comfortable lounge chairs or challenge other guests to a spirited game of horseshoes, corn hole, volleyball, and many other games.

Families can barbecue on one of the grills, cook crabs on the outside cookers, munch at the picnic tables or have a pest-free feast in one of our three gazebos.

Our Grounds offer a serene, scenic setting, nestled in the heart of Harris Creek. The scenery is an artist’s dream. Guests can explore over miles of picturesque shoreline along Michener’s fabled Chesapeake region!
