Blake House Historic Estate with Private Inn
Summary:
**HEATED POOL FROM 4/19** Blake House represents one of the oldest colonial homes in Maryland, built by British settler, Charles Blake, of London, England, in 1691. The house is nestled within 12 acres of manicured gardens, boasting an abundance of indigenous and foreign flora, and surrounded by direct water access. But the most unique feature of this property is the Crown and Anchor Inn (circa. 1735), originally located in Southern Baltimore and moved to the estate in 1941.
The Space:
The estate boasts limitless amenities to ensure guests of all ages, sensibilities and sizes are entertained for days and days. Blake House offers an open plan living experience with expansive water views. Blake House has four ensuite bedrooms (one on the first floor). The grounds offer a 100ft pier with 10,000lb boat lift, outdoor corn hole and bocce ball courts, multiple outdoor dining areas, orchid potting shed, sauna house, fire-pits, lookouts, Kayaks, canoe, paddle board, and nature trails. The Crown and Anchor has a bar, seating, wood burning fireplace, billards table, foose ball, and mini dance floor. The Inn has two bedrooms, a full bathroom, and a viewing platform on the second floor.
Be prepared to immerse yourself in the storybook of Blake House. You will not want to leave this magical place.
Don't forget to ask about our Elevated Experiences!
Other Things to Note:
Whilst Blake House is a great place to host events, please be aware that there is a $100 per person, per day, fee when guests exceed 12.
Pet fees are $50 per pet, per night, with a cap of three pets at any one time. Please ensure pets are kept off furniture and beds. Pets are also not allowed to enter the pool as this seriously destabilizes the chemicals and damages the filter system. Violations of these rules will incur additional fees and/or penalties.
Please note that due to insurance and county guidelines a property specific rental agreement will have to be completed prior to your stay.
Interaction with Guests:
We are available 24/7 to answer all questions and address any concerns. We also offer assistance in making your stay extra special and exceeding guest’s expectations. If you can imagine it, we will do our best to make it happen!

A perfect escape
Everything about the property was as advertised and more. We had a range of children, parents and grandchildren, everyone agreed that we must return.
Home is comfortable, hosts are communicative and welcoming, the property is beautiful and peaceful. Pool and kayaking were great. Wonderful views for outdoor dining. A very special place.

Amazing
We held a family celebration over a long weekend at the Blake House and there isn’t enough space to describe how amazing this property is. The owners are truly professionals who care about your visit and we can’t thank them enough for helping us pull off our event, and more importantly our four-day stay on the property, which kept all ages entertained from dawn to dusk everyday.

80th birthday celebration!
This property is the absolutely most incredible place! The location is spectacular, large wooded grounds on the Corisca River. The main house is just beautiful, a historic property with luxurious comforts. And the adjacent is charming and lovely, and a great place for additional guests to sleep.
We celebrated my mother's 80th birthday with guests from all over the world coming in- some stayed in other rentals but we all congregated during the day at Blake House.
A few highlights: The huge closed in front porch with windows looking out over the property to the river and a long table which easily fitted our large group, the swimming pool**** which was just beyond wonderful, the many games and activities available for all ages, and the beautiful large wooded grounds.
Matt and Gerry are very responsive and wonderful to work with. We could not have asked for a more spectacular place to stay. Thank you Matt and Gerry!

Perfect Family Gathering!
What a perfect setting for a long-awaited family reunion! The property is stunning, better that the photos. The main house is tastefully furnished, and oh so comfortable. The gourmet kitchen, always the heart of the home, easily accommodated all the cooks and eaters (one and the same for most of us!). The grounds were meticulously manicured, making for wonderful strolls through the forest, or just a peaceful view from a window. We all enjoyed the crystal waters of the pool, a favorite of our grandkids. We were sure to spend time in the Tavern, where we enjoyed evening cocktails. The owners were super hosts, quick to respond to our messages, and always accommodating. The entire property is so well maintained and CLEAN. We felt right at home from the minute we arrived. Thank you, Matt and Gerry, for providing a fabulous venue for our merry memory making week!

Beautiful waterfront property
Our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the beautiful Blake House. The house was impeccable and decorated beautifully, and the property was picturesque and wonderful for our 3 generation family to enjoy. We enjoyed the view from the firepit and the gorgeous dining room. Matt & Gerry were wonderful to work with, responsive, and very accommodating, they left no detail unturned. Thank you!
