Originally part of Blake Farm, built in the 1930's.
Blake Farm was subdivided into 5 acres farmettes in the 1990's.
The original farmhouse is next door, now known as Agape Farms.
The forest has reclaimed much of the original Blake Farm land.
Visit over 4 acres of available land, from the pastures, to the wooded creek, or the very back edge of the farm abutting deep woods.
Spend relaxing time petting the Nigerian Dwarf goats, Rhode Island Red chickens, and the super-friendly livestock guard dogs (Thomasina, Bucky, and Sarge).
We are also located adjacent to Agape Farms, with its horses, ducks, and chickens.
All this in horse country just minutes from I-95 and an hour from Washington, DC or Richmond, VA.

Little House by The Water
3. Little House by The Water
27mi from Bensville · 1 site
Serenity - Privacy - Beauty - This little house by the water has it all. New Sealy queen-size mattress, well-equipped kitchen, Cuisinart coffee maker, full oven, glass-topped stove, new refrigerator, and fully screened porch with water view. Perfect for 1 or 2 adults looking to get off the grid and recharge. In St. Mary's County, MD, just 90 minutes south of Washington, DC. However, the space is small, and it is really a studio apartment as I think the pictures make evident.
Guest access
Your own kitchen, your own screened porch, our dock, bird watching (eagles, hawks, osprey, martins, bluebirds), deer, rabbits, occasional foxes, wild turkeys, and, if you are fortunate, peacocks. St. Mary's City is 40 minutes away, and there are numerous restaurants accessible within 20 minutes. Even though we are out in the hinterland, there are 2 local bars where live bands play on a regular basis within a 10-15 minute drive.
Other things to note
This is a warm and cozy space, just perfect for relaxing. There is a bookcase full of books on a variety of subjects, from escape reading to serious philosophical essays, and the water is on view 24/7. There is also a VHS player and more than 40 movies available. There is no cable or WiFi access, but most phones work here. The reception for T-Mobile is not so good

Our family of 4 and a pup had a great overnight stay! We really appreciated Rodney taking time to introduce our kiddos to the animals when we arrived. We had no issues and would definitely stay again! Bring blankets if you’re coming on a cold night!

The place is amazing! Me my wife and our fur baby loved everything about the place. It has a rustic vibe surrounded by farm animals and wild life! The only thing I would have changed was we didn’t stay long enough! The fresh eggs were amazing to have for breakfast, wish I would have got more than just a dozen. And Rodney, the host was such great guy. You have your own little private spot to just sit back and enjoy. We will definitely be coming back in the short future to see the horses, goats, and other animals again.

What an amazing retreat! We wanted to ditch the tent for the night and it was so worth it. The basketball court was an added touch of fun.

I had a wonderful, relaxing stay at the tiny house! It’s the perfect option for anyone looking for an easy getaway from the busy DMV area. The space is cozy, peaceful, and well thought out—just what I needed to disconnect and recharge. I would definitely recommend it and look forward to coming back.

Rodney was very communicative and made our arrival easy. The tiny house was perfect for my boyfriend, me and the dog. The horses were friendly. The dogs curious. And the goats interesting. I’d love to come back and stay longer.

Perfect stop over during my road-trip. It’s very clean, cozy, and convenient. I put my perishables and ice packs in the little fridge/freezer. Boiled water for my tea and instant soup. My dog and I enjoyed visiting with the horses and having a nice walk around the farm. Nighttime was peaceful and quiet for stargazing and getting good rest. Highly recommend as a pet-friendly place to stay.

This is my second time at Cross Creek tiny house. I had a restful, peaceful, safe stay here with my doggie. Place was clean, well stocked, comfortable bedding and towels, and easy access since I could drive up to the site. Host is friendly, communicative, and welcoming, definitely recommend to a fellow traveller. I could walk my dog around the property, the horses were such a calming presence, and nighttime was quiet and easy to get a good night’s sleep. Highly recommend!

The tiny house was great! I stayed two weeks with my two big dogs. It was well laid out and had everything we needed. I ended up sleeping on the futon with my foam mattress I use while car camping because my old dog couldn't navigate the steep stairs to the loft, but it was actually comfy. The kitchen is minimal, but I could do a little bit of cooking and make coffee, so it worked. The house looks out on a pasture with trees hiding the road, so it was very private yet roomy outside, and the dogs had room to roam a bit (I kept an eye on them). The farm is very picturesque. The host was friendly and accommodating, the eggs were delicious, the whole experience was lovely if a bit primitive. Exactly what I expected!

We had a great weekend camping on Rodney’s farm. He was very kind to us when we arrived and took us to the tiny home. Inside it has everything you need: full kitchen with an induction burner, shower with hot water, comfy bed in the loft, WiFi, and a great spot for making a campfire and enjoying nature. We would definitely love to stay here again :)

Weekend Trip to Cross Creek Farm
Rodney and Tara have a beautiful piece of property out in the country and were very hospitable. My brother and I stayed in their tiny house for a weekend of golfing. It was comfortable and had everything one would need for their visit. We did not take advantage of visiting their farm animals, but wish we had. The mini-split unit kept the temperature stable and comfy.
If you're passing through or looking for a relaxing weekend, check out Rodney and Tara's property.
