Relax by the pool. Fish or crab or picnic at the end of the pier. Do all three.
Our modern home on 2½ acres is the perfect spot for your next family vacation. Fabulous water views from nearly every room. Wake up, grab a cup of coffee, relax in bed and just gaze at the water. Or take your coffee outside and sit in the Adirondack chairs, or out on the pier, for a really close up view.
Go biking. Go hiking. Go kayaking. Visit historic St. Michaels, Easton and Oxford. Watch the sunset from the Adirondack chairs at the water’s edge. Eat. Shop. Play golf. Play yard games. Play board games. Play with the kids. Or do nothing at all. When you arrive we’ll give you our list of places to see, easy and challenging bike rides, shops to visit and restaurants to try.
We provide linens and towels, and the kitchen is fully equipped. We welcome dogs for a fee as long as they are approved and trained, and babies even if they are not. We ask only that you treat our house as you would your own. It’s not just a rental; we use it all the time.
We think you’ll love Ingleton. We certainly do. — Minda
Room for one to three families

The pier
Fish, crab or picnic at the end. Two hammocks under the trees beside it. Bringing a boat? Come up the Miles River, or trailer it to the ramp a mile or two away.
The waterside pool
Free-form, with a 15-inch-deep Baja deck that’s great for little ones. There’s no fence around the pool itself, so keep an eye on young children. Pull an Adirondack chair into the shallow end and read. Wifi reaches the pool.
Kayaks & bikes
Seven kayaks with life jackets (four singles and three doubles), enough for 10 paddlers at once. It’s an easy paddle across sheltered water to an undeveloped island and sandy beach right behind the house. Four adult bikes and one child’s bike, with helmets, for the flat, easy roads.
Fire pit & Adirondacks
Coffee in the morning, drinks at sunset. The gas fire pit down by the water is for warming up and for s’mores.
The lawn
Cornhole, ladder ball, bocce and more, plus pool toys and floats.
Crab night
Maryland crabs on the screened porch or the outdoor deck. The kitchen has a lobster pot, and there’s a gas grill on the deck.
Summer is the obvious time. It isn’t the only one.
Summer
Pool, pier and kayaks. Weekly stays, Sunday to Sunday.
Fall
Spectacular. Early check-in and late checkout in October.
Winter
Relax by the fireplace, sip wine and enjoy the water views.
Spring
Time to get back outside. The ospreys return.

Good to know
How far is Ingleton from St. Michaels?
About a 20-minute drive to the village of St. Michaels, and about 17 minutes to downtown Easton.
How many people does Ingleton sleep?
Up to 10 guests in 5 bedrooms, including two king bedrooms. Talbot County limits the house to 10 people at any time, including daytime visitors.
How does booking direct work?
Pick your dates and send a request. Minda checks the calendar, confirms by email, usually within a day, and sends a rental agreement and payment instructions. Nothing is charged when you send the request.
Why aren’t there cleaning or service fees?
Our nightly price already includes everything. The only thing added is Maryland and Talbot County tax, plus $55 per dog per night if you bring your dog.
Is Ingleton pet friendly?
Yes. Up to 2 dogs under 50 lbs are welcome, approved ahead of time, for $55 per dog per night.
Is Ingleton good for kids?
Yes. Children of all ages are welcome. The pool has a 15-inch-deep Baja deck, and there are kids’ toys, books, games, a high chair and kids’ dishes. There’s no fence around the pool, so keep an eye on young children.
Can we come for a long weekend?
Outside summer, the minimum stay is 3 nights, so a long weekend works well. In summer (June through August), stays are full weeks, Sunday to Sunday.
Can we bring our boat?
Yes. The pier has about 4 feet of water at mean low tide and docks two boats. Come up the Miles River, or launch at the public ramp a mile or two from the house.
Is there a beach?
A sandy beach on an undeveloped island is a short, sheltered kayak ride from the back of the house.
Can I work from the house?
If you absolutely must: there’s a first-floor office with a desk, a table in the upstairs great room, 250+ Mbps wifi and a wifi printer.
Is the pool heated?
We heat it by request only, for a daily charge that depends on the season. Ask us for the rate for your dates.
