This is our 5th year staying here. The apartment is always clean and neat .I enjoy fishing and canoeing on the lake. And we enjoy quietly relaxing on the large deck at lakeside.
Thank you for being a gracious host. My stay was very restful and refreshing. Just what was needed. The welcoming bundles of fur were greatly appreciated. Iâll be back to enjoy some sunshine on the lake.
Gene was a very kind host and was not intrusive at all! My girlfriend and I stayed for only a few days, but definitely are looking to reserve this property for future trips! Thank you for providing such a great place for us to stay. The lake was really pretty and the ducks who visited us were very friendly. Incredibly charming location and animals around the property :) ms. Kitty is very sweet and soft, and Iâm happy I got to have her greet us
We had a surprisingly great stay. We arrived late due to traffic, things were dark, we drove into an area unknown to us and thankfully Gere was there to flag us down! Tired and hungry, we received are key to the room and direction to a pizza place. When we opened the door to our Studio, we were blown away.it was fantastic.
This place was awesome! Clean, quiet, relaxing, easily accessible and well maintained. Host was very responsive and was all about us having a great stay!
The Carriage House was a wonderful peaceful spot! The little lake out back was nice to sit by, and the accommodations of the house were just what we needed to feel at home for a weekend stay. We would definitely stay again!
A lovely, pretty place to visit, landscaping with birdhouses, whimsical statues among ferns, hydrangea, trees & rhododendrons.
Gene is a wonderful host, lovely to talk with. Enjoyed petting Dolly, Ms. Kitty and Mr. JB the Cat.
We will be back. Thank you Gene.
The Carriage House Apartment is just as advertised! Clean and comfortable! Beautiful location. Im so thankful we stayed here. Would definitely stay again!
This is our favorite place to stay after a long day playing sports at the turf nearby. Wonderful host whom is attentive yet nonintrusive.
Thanks Gene for another wonderful stay,
We stayed Fri thru Mon for an event and the host Gene is very helpful and friendly, the location is simply beautiful. Will definitely look into staying there again.
3rd stay here, great place with comfort and quietness
Thank goodness for this place which offers a quiet and clean place to stay in the Dover area, Just like staying at you lakeside cottage peaceful and quiet.
This was a very clean and nice place to stay. I would love to come back during the summer to take advantage of its location on the lake. There was a good amount of storage space if you like to unpack - more than I have seen in many short term rentals of this size.
I have only positive things to say about this stay. It was clean, had everything I needed, and is in a stunning setting. Gene is a great host. This place is a true gem and I will certainly be back!
Property was clean and well maintained. Host was very attentive to messages and questions. Perfect rental to stay for the night or to get away. I will definitely be staying again.
It was a quiet woodsy conclave on a beautiful natural lake. The carriage house was perfect for bringing pets as it had a nice dog area
right adjacent to the apt.
We are a retired couple who served in the military after almost three decades of traveling around the world and living all over the United States. I, Gene, grew up outside Middletown DE, attended Washington College in Chestertown MD before entering the Army in 1973. I did personnel and public affairs. My husband, Don, was a Jersey boy who attended West Point and served in the Infantry with an alternate of Operations and Training. We volunteer for the American Heart Association, the Association for Frontotemporal Degeneration, belong to several philanthropic, veterans, and conservation organizations. My mom passed on in February 2016 . She wanted me to "make a little rental unit" over my garage to share our property with others. You will be enjoying her furniture when you stay with us. You will be honoring her request and I hope you will feel like you are at home.
We fell in love with our house the moment we saw it because the view of the lake reminded us of the State of Washington where we had once been assigned. We entertained our mothers, our sisters and their families quite a bit when we first moved here. We spent a lot of love and labor improving the property. But now, the moms have passed on, the sisters have moved on and their families are having families of their own and none of them are nearby. We want to continue sharing our quiet location and beautiful lake with others.
You can only glimpse the lake from inside the unit, but you are welcome to use the outside of the home as if it were yours. Decks, docks, canoe, stand up paddle-boad, swim, fire-pit, try your luck with the Big Green Egg! (all at own risk, of course!). Its dark and quiet here, you will be tucked away in a forest. Join us in celebration of birds, ducks, geese, frogs and if you are lucky, you might see an eagle, blue heron, osprey, beaver or an otter while you are here.
