Great central location in St Michaels
Carpenter Alley was the perfect place for our group of family friends to explore St Michaels and the Eastern Shore. Right off the main street, an easy walk to all that St Michaels has to offer. Plenty of room for 6 adults with a great sized kitchen, upstairs and downstairs seating areas and fenced in back yard. Highly recommend.

We had a great stay at this property this year. Great location in town, and wonderful outdoor space for our dog as well. Very clean and ESVR provided all the items you need for the stay. Everyone had a good time for our long weekend stay for the Waterfowl festival.

Bright space in a great location
If you you want to spend time walking around St. Michaels, this is the perfect spot, right in the middle of town. The three bedrooms are all comfortable, and the kitchen/living room is a nice place to hang out.

Great Place - Location Excellent
Other than arriving with no sheets on beds, no towels, and no basic toiletries or kitchen cleaning set, place is very good. Cleaning service, owner, or property management firm mismanaged the prep for our arrival. Absence of sheets, towels, etc. was rectified in a bit more than 1 hour. Nice place and superb location for seeing the village. Quiet, but right in the middle of all shops, farmers market, restaurants, etc. There was a bit of a pet odor in the 1st floor bedroom. Only other comment is that cost is a bit high once all fees added to base price. Would stay again, but price might make this prohibitive.

Amazing location!
My family and I enjoyed our stay at the Carpenter Alley Cottage in Saint Michaels! The location was perfect -- walking distance from everything! Appreciated that there was a ground floor bedroom for my parents so they didn't have to climb the stairs and my daughter loved having her own bunk bed room! I did have a few questions about the cottage and the check-in process and my inquiries were all met with a prompt response. Would love to stay here again! (One note though is that it is a smaller, older house so if you have people who are taller than 6'0 they might find themselves ducking to not hit the ceiling fan or doorways!)

St Michaels
My daughter and I come to St Michaels for long weekend get always…walk, eat, shop and rest. I e love the town and its history, the restaurant on the water and the museum! The house was perfect for us.
Maybe install screens for cooler weather? But we enjoyed the property and ease to everything in town!

Unbeatable location
Four of my friends and I stayed at this cute home for a ladies' weekend (two nights) in St. Michaels. We are in our early 40's and all agreed that the location of this home is superb. We walked to dinner each night (Limoncello and Ruse, both great) and enjoyed the wonderful shops in the lovely downtown area. The location of this home cannot be beat if you want to park your car upon arrival and not have a need to use it again during your stay. We had three cars, two of which fit in the driveway and the third easily parked in nearby public parking. The house is a little tricky to locate using GPS since the driveway is accessible through a public parking lot (look for Sprout Cafe & Bakery which is steps away). This is an older home and those who slept in the downstairs bedroom could hear those who slept upstairs when walking around, and the HVAC is loud. We still had a fantastic stay; however, these are a few things to be aware of when booking. The host was very responsive to questions and the home had everything we needed, including small packs of dish and laundry detergents and bathroom items.

Birthday Getaway
We stayed at the Carpenter Ally Cottage for a quick escape to St. Michaels for a birthday celebration. It was such a lovely way to spend a few days before heading back to the busy life of work and school. The home was located perfectly in town. We walked everywhere. The home was comfortable and clean and felt as though we were staying with relatives. Well done! It's a great home for spending time historic St. Michaels. Limoncello is in your backyard and one of the best restaurants in town. There are coffee shops surrounding the home and antique shopping just down the street. The Village Shop was amazing for a "cook in" night. The water is just down the street and walk down at dusk after dinner was a perfect end to the day. We really enjoyed our stay and appreciate the efforts of the homeowners to make our stay comfortable. Check in and check out was easy as well. We highly recommend.

Easy, bright, airy, convenient and clean
We've stayed in St. Michaels many times by boat, but this was the first time we'd stayed in a house on shore and coordinated our visit with other family members arriving by boat. Having a home base (that welcomed our small dog!) was awesome, and the property was nicely equipped and welcoming. There were six of us and we were very comfortable and enjoyed the decor and the nice hardwood floors. We would absolutely stay there again.
(If I had one heads-up for anyone, it would be to note that if you have a hard time with rooms that have a lot of light while you're sleeping, the upstairs queen bedroom (while lovely) has windows that are illuminated by a neighboring building's bright parking lot lights all night. The window coverings just couldn't compete! We covered the windows with dark towels and it really helped. I was glad I happened to have brought them with me.)

Location, location, location!
This property is in the perfect location for getting around St Michael's, MD. Walking distance to all bars, restaurants, shops and shoreline. The check in process was simple and the house was clean and had all the amenities we could ask for. My only caviat is if you are a light sleeper, the weekend has a farmers market directly behind the home (seasonal) with acoustic music starting at 8am and on Friday and Saturday nights the Carpenter St Saloon has live bands until after 1am. We had a great stay and highly recommend it.

Liked: Listing accuracy
Clean and great location, but surprising fees
My family stayed in St. Michael’s for the weekend and it was wonderful! The house was beautiful and the location was perfect— we were right in town, within walking distance to shops and restaurants.
We would recommended staying in this location.
However, be aware before booking that there are a lot of hidden fees. Our weekend trip total was doubled after fees.
