Escape to a private, lakefront mid-century A-frame with soaring ceilings, tranquil views, birdwatching, a private dock, and an indoor infrared sauna—perfect for a cozy fall or winter getaway.

The Space
Welcome to your lakefront retreat on Lake Lariat in the Solomons/Lusby area of Maryland. Perched on a wooded peninsula, the home offers sweeping water views, direct lake access, and a beautifully designed space ideal for relaxation in all seasons.
Inside, you’ll find a sunlit great room with 20-foot vaulted ceilings, mid-century furnishings, and floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the trees and lake. A fully stocked modern kitchen makes cooking easy, whether you're preparing warm fall meals or holiday dinners. The lofted master suite features skylights and serene lake views, while three additional bedrooms offer comfortable space for families or groups.
For fall and winter stays, enjoy the home’s newest highlight: a private indoor infrared sauna, perfect for unwinding after a day of hiking, fossil hunting, or exploring Solomons.
Outdoor Spaces (Year-Round Enjoyment)
Two decks and a variety of outdoor areas offer different seasonal experiences:
• Upper Deck – Enjoy meals outdoors with lake views, grill year-round, or sip hot coffee in the crisp fall air while watching eagles and ospreys.
• Lower Deck – A quiet, shaded lounge area with Adirondack seating. (The self-fill plunge tank is available in warmer months.)
• Fire Pit Area – Newly designed stone fire circle featuring a smokeless stainless-steel fire pit and comfortable seating. Perfect for roasting marshmallows, stargazing, or winding down with a warm drink on cool fall and winter nights. The surrounding trees and lake breeze make it an unforgettable place to relax after the sauna or a day of exploring Calvert Cliffs.
• Private Dock – Provides direct lake access for peaceful paddles or quiet fishing. Kayaks, a canoe, paddles, and life jackets are provided. The lake is swimmable, though most guests prefer fall hikes, birdwatching, and cool-weather boating this time of year.
