Chesapeake Paradise

Chesapeake Paradise 🌊Waterfront Micro-Resort on the Chesapeake Bay. Premier Venue for Events/Retreats/Vacation 🌞

Chesapeake Paradise, set on the western shore of the Chesapeake Bay, offers a lovely get-away for individuals, couples, families, or small groups any time of the year! With a contemporary studio flat that is perfect for one or two people, a dog-friendly cottage that sleeps 8, and a newly-added and super-cozy carriage house, there truly is something for everyone. The sunrise and sunset water views

are particularly dazzling in fall and winter months (when guests seem just as thrilled to be here as those who come during the warmer months). Light Landing's shady lawn and bright open spaces, outdoor fire pit and hot tub, huge screened porch, tree swings, English garden, kayaks, and restorative pier afford a peaceful and inspirational setting any time you find yourself in the Washington Metro area. Many individuals or couples take a break from their business or sight-seeing for a restorative or romantic retreat; others come to Light Landing to complete writing, art, or other projects that require sustained focus or a secluded work environment. Some guests even utilize the owner’s skilled support in writing, editing, and coaching to restore creativity or resolve stubborn life/health/work issues. The space is also perfect for family reunions, outdoor weddings, and retreats.

Can we talk about how gorgeous Chesapeake Paradise is right now? 🌙✨

Moonlit skies, stars twinkling, and the Chesapeake Bay view.

It's looking absolutely dreamy.

If you’re thinking of a couples retreat (maybe for Valentine’s?), the Sunrise Suite—and in this case moonrise suite—is where you’ll want to be!

🏞️ It’s the perfect spot to recharge, relax, and just be together. As a Superhost since 2009, all the cozy vibes you need are here.

Ready to escape for a bit?
Do it!
You and your sweetie will love it. 💫

Just loving the wonderful people who stayed at Chesapeake Paradise over Christmas and how beautifully they had decorated the house. They invited me to take some pictures and we’re happy for me to share them here on our little page. It’s quite an honor to have people spending their holidays here, and I am grateful to them for being such amazing guests.

If you need a reset, here’s a life hack for you. Change your view. Seriously, it works.

At Chesapeake Paradise, the vibes are all about slowing down and soaking up the little things. 🌊✨

☕ Picture this: a steaming cup of coffee or tea, a slice of sweet bread, and water views from our cozy enclosed patio.
�🌅 Catch the light pouring in through skylights, sliding glass doors, or just step onto the porch of the Sky-Lit Flat for that fresh-air moment.
�🏡 Whether you’re chilling inside or stepping out, the water’s always in view, ready to work its magic.

Sometimes the best escapes aren’t big and flashy—they’re just peaceful, warm, and exactly what you need.

Tap follow for more chill vibes, pretty scenes, and little reminders to slow down. 🌊💛

Here’s a pro tip if you’re lucky enough to stay in the sun-drenched Solarium this winter:
grab your favorite cozy drink (hot cocoa, tea, or maybe a mulled cider?) and bask in the afternoon sunlight streaming through the panoramic windows.

It’s like your own personal slice of summer warmth, even when it’s chilly outside.

Whether you’re curling up with a good book, soaking in the peaceful views, or just letting the sun melt away the winter blues, this room is the perfect retreat.

You can enjoy the Solarium as part of the full Chesapeake House experience or as part of the private Skylit Flat + Solarium suite—whichever suits your style! 🌞✨

Cheers to a little winter sunshine therapy! 🌞🍵

Nothing says fall like a visit to Miss Plum’s farm stand, just a quick mile from Chesapeake Paradise, here in Churchton, MD.

I stopped by last evening and couldn’t resist the pumpkins, fresh flowers, and that cozy autumn glow.

If you’re staying at Chesapeake Paradise or just in the area, it’s the perfect little spot to soak in the season. 🍂🎃

What a rare and beautiful sight! The northern lights were shining beautifully here at Chesapeake Paradise last evening!
I took this photo of the moon set last night and saw the colors afterward—not knowing that Aurora Borealis was visible as far south as Maryland.

So stunning and awe-inspiring!

Q: How many nearby accommodations give you both moonrises and sunrises over a huge wide-open Bay—as well as moonsets and sunsets over an intimate up-close part of that Bay—with just nature sounds to accompany these soulful delights?

A: Only those that have a southern exposure, a body of water that hugs the property in a curve or a point of land, no streetlights, no major roads nearby, and a completely safe place to wander out onto the lawn or pier—or lounge on your balcony— at all hours of the day or night, even in the wee hours of the morning. Chesapeake Paradise has them all!

This is a lovely moonset over Broadwater Creek from our Cottage yard (even more spectacular from next door Chesapeake Paradise House.)

Seriously, if you want to see this for yourself, you have to come check it out. There are even some stars thrown in for good measure! ✨

Due to a cancellation, we now have 10 full days open in August! Check out our August Availability here...

Go ahead and be passionate about your this work and campaigning, and don’t forget to have fun too! I know Daniel (my long-time assistant in Pakistan) and his wife Hina enjoy Emily in Paris… Season 4 starts tonight! Jamie and Tom happen to be coming out to stay and cook me birthday dinner (and go to her class reunion on the weekend…10 years!), so we plan to watch! What an outrageous picture! 🤣 (Trivia: My sister’s name is Emily!)

cue everyone in the comments saying how sweaty and humid August is in the Mid-Atlantic, oh and don’t forget the🪼…I know you all can’t wait for sweater weather and a …but you won’t sway me.

It is the best of the three summer months from my 35 years of living here on the Chesapeake Bay, 25 of them here at Chesapeake Paradise.

THAT’s WHY IT BREAKS MY HEART 💔when I see either of our houses sitting empty on gorgeous days like today, 80°, light breezes, almost no humidity.

Due to a cancellation, we now have 10 full days open in August, and thanks to that silly rumor about August being miserable, people are missing out. Oh and did I mention, we dropped the price!! 😱💸🏖️

Check out our, lucky you, August availability by visiting www.chesapeakeparadise.com It is perfection here right now!

👇Here’s HOW I transformed my cozy spot called “The Digs” into Chesapeake Paradise—a beautiful ✨5-Star waterfront vacation retreat, and event venue not far from Annapolis, DC, & Baltimore.

🚀First, follow Chesapeake Paradise to remember where you plan to stay for your next Maryland vacation! 🤩🧜‍♀️

I’m thrilled to share the story of how I transformed my home! It all started with a vision I held onto for 24 years. Despite challenges—like long-term illness, divorce, architectural stumbling blocks, & failed refinancing—I kept moving forward.

I pursued opportunities that seemed promising, persisting in my dream. Even when I felt like giving up, I relied on a straightforward method to address negative thoughts. I remained calm, trusting the process and applying the questions I teach to uncover and overcome each worrying or stressful thought that could stand in my way.

The result? 🤩🏡 Our humble little house is now a luxurious 7-bedroom, 4-bath haven with stunning views of the Bay.

It’s the perfect natural, fun, and restorative escape for families, couples, solo travelers, and corporate/spiritual retreats.

👀 Check out the video to see a glimpse of how it all came together—from the charming beginnings of The Digs, through the exciting construction, to the final reveal of Chesapeake Paradise.

Hope this inspires you to imagine your next getaway here, with stunning sunrises, sunsets, and peaceful nights lit by stars and fireflies.

Our guests just checked out of the sunrise suite pictured above…. This was their second time back in two weeks! First in our lovely Flat and Solarium, and then in the sunrise suite. So I decided after getting home late from Maine and Massachusetts to sleep on the screened porch. So lovely with the stars and cricket songs and quiet lapping of the water, then waking to a soft rain. Our guests love hanging out here, reading a book, playing a card game, eating together, or just rocking and looking at the view… not to mention camping out on this couch when you just want to be close to nature!
