Reviews

  • The Dock

    “I was raised in Calvert County, but moved 29 years ago to the mountains at Deep Creek Lake, MD. Every once in a while I need a saltwater/Chesapeake Bay fix and this is where we come! Was able to get a deal on a corner waterfront king suite and it is an awesome room. Did have a beer at the dockside bar and the bartender was awesome. All staff was great & place is kept really clean! Can’t wait to come back and stay in the new section!” - JUNE M.

  • Rod 'N' Reel Resort

    "Hidden Gem on the Bay! I had my wedding at the Rod ‘N’ Reel this June, and it was truly the experience of a lifetime! I was planning an intimate celebration with about 65 guests and needed something beautiful, yet budget-friendly—and this venue exceeded every expectation." - KANDACE

  • Rod 'N' Reel Resort

    “The best location right on the bay without having to go across the bridge. This was the perfect stay as they have 2 pools and a game room along with 5 delicious restaurants on site. We enjoyed this as a family vacay but will come back for a romantic stay next.” - L SUMMERS

  • 1936 Bar & Grill

    “The food was like a home cooked meal I will be heading back. Views from the porch out to the river and Chesapeake Bay.” - GUY P.
