It sits off the street with minimal lighting at the entrance so I initially drove past it. Once inside, I was really impressed with how the organizers transformed the space. It's really flexible & perfect for small to medium sized events. It's literally a blank slate awaiting your creative vision. You can comfortably seat roughly 100 guests. Free parking is available onsite and there are a couple outdoor areas available for ceremonies as well. Finally, the cost is reasonable. If you can host your event Monday - Thursday, there's even more cost savings. Staff members are available to help and man the bar. Check them out!

Located 90 minutes from Baltimore and Washington, Osprey Point is a serene and spiritual place that…read morefeels like the large home in which I'd like to live someday. Both secular and religious organizations host conferences here. Amenities include a large meeting room, free WiFi, office services for printing and faxing, tennis courts, a swimming pool and jacuzzi, a library, a chapel, workout facilities, recreation room with pool table and fireplace, a top chef (Dawn McLoughlin), and, of course, spectacular views of the Chesapeake. It is the perfect location for your next gathering (from 10 to 50 people). Golf, bay cruises, kayaking, and the charming town of St. Michaels are all within 20 minutes of the property. The property is operated by the Trinity Forum (www.ttf.org), a D.C.-based Christian 'think-tank' whose mission is to renew Christian culture and to promote human freedom and flourishing. The property is home to the Trinity Forum Academy (academy.ttf.org), an organization that annually enrolls approximately a dozen 20-somethings for a post-graduate year of study on an aspect of Christianity of interest to them. The fellows are housed in a separate building on the property.

I spent the weekend at Osprey Point Retreat and Conference Center to conduct a site visit for my…read moreclient groups. I wasn't sure what to expect since it appeared to be in the middle of an extremely small town but not the usual B&B that you find in these rural Eastern Shore areas. Gorgeous tree lined and winding roads on the way in, bayside homes with tons of land, horse farms; everything you'd imagine a postcard to look like. We encountered about 20 deer bounding in front of us and luckily we were only going 3mph and able to stop. It was unlike anything we've ever seen. The land is protected and wildlife such as rabbits, geese and white tail run freely to the waters edge and back into the woods. Upon arrival, we toured the rooms and grounds. The property itself has one conference room and flexible small group event spaces designed to facilitate group discussion and reflection. Each of the 25 sleeping rooms has its own distinct design, simple and indicative of the region. Some rooms have porches and many face the water. It's awesome just to sit and listen to the water. There are no televisions in the rooms, so come prepared to RELAX and UNPLUG! The living and game room were comfortable and relaxing and do feature a television as does the small gym. The GM is gracious and hospitable and lives on the grounds and easily accessible. I will say for the city slickers and those unfamiliar with the area, do not expect a high end, boutique B&B catering to couples and others looking strictly for a getaway for the weekend. This functional venue and its space is designed and ideal for small social, civic, church and gov't groups. The grounds are shared with the Trinity Academy, a group of students completing a 9 month spiritual fellowship. The students make up most of the staff. It's great for off site retreats and brainstorming sessions with teams and leaders. Seems great for family events such as small and intimate vow renewal and weddings who want the feel of a B&B but need something a bit larger (keep in mind, there are 25 sleeping rooms). The city is small but within close proximity to St. Michaels and Easton. After my weekend, I decided to really start focusing on what's important and trying my best to SLOW down and appreciate the smaller things. It really does only take a couple days away from it all to see the difference a change of pace really makes. My husband commented the time seemed much slower, the days longer. Don't we all want need that sometimes!

Endeavor Point is a Paradise! Everything about this place is…read moremagnificent, starting with the hostesses, Sophie and Beth. Communication with both was great from booking to leaving. Located by the Patuxent River with a breathtaking view, Endeavor Point, is a ridden gem with campground, private beaches you can swim, a huge fishing pier, and cottages for rentals. From the moment you step onto the grounds of this place you feel your entire body relaxing. It is an amazing experience! I rented a cottage (Mermaid Folly) for the weekend. The place was very well furnished with a fully equipped kitchen, living and dining room furniture, very comfortable beds with soft linens, clean baths with soft towels. In general, the place was very clean, well decorated, and very functional. What I loved the most about the cottage was the balcony with a fantastic view, sitting outside under the tree close to the water, and listening to the waves breaking by the river shore. I also loved my walks in the mornings and afternoons by the breezy beaches and pier watching people fishing, the sunrising, and the sunset. I strongly recommend Endeavor Point if you want to just relax on a visit during the day, if you like camping overnight, or staying in a very comfortable cottage over the weekend.

That special place where you can getaway from the stresses of life and get back to relaxing with the sounds of nature and the tranquility that being on the water often brings.

Endeavor Point is a place where all are welcome and all we ask is that you respect nature and your fellow people.

Pros:We visited three wineries during our trip to Colonial Beach, and my favorite wine sample…read moreoverall was the Traminette from this winery. I did the five-wine tasting for $11. Holly was very friendly--definitely a big talker. Cons:The winery is unimpressive from the outside, and unfortunately that didn't change once inside. While the employee we interacted with was pleasant, she couldn't answer basic questions about the wines' flavor profiles, which felt like a missed expectation. The "beer list" was simply a board that read "IPA, Ale, Lager," and they were already out of the IPA. I usually enjoy Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon, but both were mediocre here. If you're searching for a refined or classy winery experience, this isn't it--keep driving. Overall: This winery offers an affordable tasting and one standout wine, but the experience falls short in presentation and knowledge. The lack of ambiance, limited beer options, and inability to answer basic questions about the wines take away from what could have been a more enjoyable visit. It's fine for a casual stop, but not for those seeking a polished winery experience.

She shared so much about wine and winemaking which was awesome. It wasn't just someone trying to get you to buy wine it was an experience. Side note: great photographer and dang em happy birthday too! 3. Wines are pretty good but OooooH MAN! That dessert the chocolate decadence. Chocolate cake, rich and moist and served warm in a wine glass sprinkled with their Cabernet sugar (made from the skin of the one grapes I believe) this is available for purchase. She also drizzled a Cabernet syrup tho not for sale amazingly delicious. We had one with and one without and by far that addition of syrup was phenomenal. 4. Aside from amazing chocolate cake they have cheese spread you can purchase. 5. You can sit inside and play chess or chill, or go outside and sit by water. 6. Dog friendly however, they can't be inside. But plenty of outdoor beautiful seating with views of the water (I recommend bringing off)

I recently held my 45th birthday celebration and 25th wedding anniversary at Grace Event Center in…read moreWaldorf, MD, on January 10, 2026. While the event space itself is beautiful, my experience with the staff and catering was extremely disappointing. From start to finish, the event staff were unprofessional and rude to my guests. Several guests were told they could only have one plate despite us paying for an open buffet, which caused embarrassment. One catering staff member even pushed my mother and maintained a negative attitude throughout the event. I also became ill after eating the turkey meatballs we ordered. I do not eat beef, yet the food appeared to contain beef, causing severe stomach discomfort for me. Interestingly, my guests did not have any issues, which suggests there may have been a mistake in the preparation. I brought these concerns to the attention of the event coordinator, who I believe is the owner, Carla, but the staff's behavior was excused rather than addressed. Unfortunately, despite the beautiful space, I cannot recommend Grace Event Center due to the unprofessionalism of the staff and catering issues. I would suggest considering other venues to avoid a similar experience.

I had a wonderful time along with all my guests, DJ, and decorator! Look no further when planning a nice event, this is the right place! I truly wish to thank everyone who played a part in my celebration and look forward to my next event. It was well worth the trip (300+ miles away). I was a happy vintage Queen!

The feeling on being on a farm while next to the water is something you won't get anywhere else. The property is located a bit off the beaten path, and the nearby town is very quaint, with much to do, especially on the weekends. If Golf is your thing, the country club just a few minutes away offers a great round as well. (You can even get to it by boat!) I understand the property is used as a wedding venue in addition to being a vacation rental, but either way I would still highly recommend it as a spot to sit down and relax for a few days, or to stay longer if you have the opportunity!
