Ransome's Chesapeake Retreats (RCR) is a multi-generational family vacation complex.  RCR has several facilities, in close proximity to each other, on and near this exclusive and secluded bay estate.  It's an ideal situation for your special gathering, where you are close together but can still have your own space.

RCR has been called a "rare find", as there are few, if any, large estates for your use that are situated on the Bay.  This captivating estate is available for your enjoyment and pleasure.

Making sweet memories at RCR

 

RCR is located just outside the charming towns of Cambridge and Fishing Creek, quaint maritime communities filled with history, tucked away on Maryland's Eastern Shore.  In Cambridge, the new Hyatt Regency Chesapeake Resort offers excellent golf courses and delicious cuisine. Our Retreat is an ideal getaway to go bicycling, boating, fishing, golfing, and birding, take advantage of canoe and kayak tours, hunting opportunities, and photography shoots, or just relax in the pool and/or hot tub, overlooking the bay.  Your soul will be revitalized in the dramatic and breathtaking views of our Chesapeake Bay rental, especially in the spectacular sunrises and sunsets.  Why not enjoy your next Chesapeake Bay family reunion at our Retreat.

You can even join lifelong Dorchester County native Capt. Phil Gootee for on-the-water adventures aboard his 42-foot charter boat (complete with cabin and bathroom). He offers lighthouse, sunset, sightseeing and fishing tours.
The tours depart from Gootee's Marine, 1439 Hoopers Island Rd, Church Creek, MD 21622.   Call or text Capt. Phil for information and to reserve a spot at 443-521-0817.   Click on the following links to view his videos.
