We're Chris and Emily. As Maryland natives, our roots run deep here, but our story together began with a bit of modern-day luck. We first met in Baltimore in 2008 after Emily answered Chris’s Craigslist ad for a roommate—a true house-hacking story before it was cool! What started as a roommate arrangement blossomed into marriage and a life firmly planted in our home state. Our world changed forever with the arrival of our wonderful son, Logan. Shortly after he was born, we learned he has a rare health condition, and our journey to find the best care for him led our family to move to Florida. But our connection to Maryland remains as strong as ever. We’ve poured our hearts into creating warm, welcoming homes here so we can keep our roots strong and share our love for this area with others. Today, Logan and our entire family are thriving. We cherish our trips back and are thrilled to share a piece of our story with you. We hope you feel the sense of family, resilience, and love that we've put into this home during your stay.

What guests love most about our neighborhood is its perfect blend of historic charm and vibrant, modern energy.
