Tall Timbers, the community, is actually a forgotten Maryland treasure where time stands still. It consists of two rows of houses situated between the Potomac River and a dense timbered forest.

Lolly and Lindley purchased this house in 2003
Why Lolly and Lindley chose Maryland
Tall Timbers is a sleepy waterfront community is where people pass slow summer days; huge Rockfish are caught in the creeks, crabs from docks; and there are more places to paddle than you will have time available to visit:
*Historic Old Mill Gift Store,
*Historic St. Mary’s City
*One Room Little red schoolhouse
*Drayden Afro-American school house.
*Piney Point Light House and Museum
*German U-Boat Underwater Park
*The Patuxent River Naval Air Museum (PAX)
*Point Lookout State Park and Civil War Museum
*Sotterley Plantation,
*St. Clement's Island-Potomac River Museum
*Calvert Maritime Museum.
*Anna Marie Gardens and Sculpture Forest.
During the winter the community is magical and can be winter wonderland. Fall colors are magnificent, especially when you realize you are not the one to rake the leaves. Just watch them fall. Be on the look out for deep discounts of midweek - midwinter visits.

Guestbook comments from the owner
Tall Timbers cottage was not available for the last 5 years as it was rented to a base contractor. Once he left the entire house was gutted and refurnished so we apologize for the older reviews. We spent our first night in the cottage after the construction was finished a couple of weeks agao and it is better than ever. I love the new woodland paths and the enlarged shower. Cell phone service is catching up with the rest of the modern world. Southern Maryland is seeing a few more visitors, and services are becoming even easier to find.

Reviews
Wonderful!
4.8/5 -
(29 traveller reviews)
Comfortable. Needed better lighting at dinner table. Had to clean before leaving per house instructi
It was okay. Nice big kitchen. Worked well for a toddler. Shower did not drain well sorry we were not on the water.
Such a cute house !
We loved this home. The house was perfect for what we needed and had such great touches in every room. So much storage it feels like you can settle in and be at home even away from home. The beds are very firm so if you don't like that bring a mattress topper. Great house and home owners were so nice and helpful.
Cute, clean cottage with easy access to the beach and great food
The property was perfect - well stocked, dog friendly and the owners were a pleasure and very helpful!
Cute cozy cottage
The cottage was very comfortable and had all of the amenities of home. We enjoyed our stay.
Great cottage and fantastic owners
I recently spent a weekend at this property with my family and my 2 dogs. The cottage is a little jewel that exceeded our expectations. Super clean, comfortable beds, powerful AC, fully stocked kitchen, WI-FI, etc. The communication with the owners was perfect. We will definitely be back. Highly recommended.
Awesome Stay!
Spent 4 nights in the cottage with my wife, two year old and dog, and had an excellent time. The cottage has everything you need, and Lolly and Lindley are super helpful. I had no issues getting in contact with them, and they were generous enough to check out a bit late when we were running behind. Would absolutely recommend to anyone!
Location
The roadway in front of the house along the river is a great place for kids to learn to ride bikes or take the dog for a walk.
There are also fishing charters, day sails and historic properties and parks to visit.
The River is 3 miles across to Virginia with magnificent sunsets not far from where the Potomac River flows into the Chesapeake Bay. St. Mary's City (Colonial Historic Interpretive Park) is an easy 15 miles drive and a wonderful place to visit for the entire family.
A little further down the road is Point Lookout where you can catch a ferry to Chesapeake Bay Islands, visit the historic Coast Guard Station, the Civil War Hospital Site, or see where the Potomac Rivers and Pautuxent Rivers empty into the Chesapeake Bay.
The county seat at with more historic sites, wine tasting, festivals, fairgrounds and fishing carter boats are all nearby. To read more about our area we are in area known as Southern Maryland, along the shores of the National Parks scenic water-way.
The Tall Timbers Marina, a family operated full service marina with a wonderful neighborhood bar and cafe. Be sure to ask about seasonal hours. Chiefs is located behind the post office and grocery store and is open year round for both food and merriment.
Only two hours from the Washington Beltway you will find walking along the bulkhead an easy quiet stroll.
