About The Private Affair
Luxurious lounge area with ornate seating Google Photos marked Google come from Google Maps contributors. Your photo? Ask us to remove it.
The Private Affair is Maryland's premier on-premise lifestyle club, located in a discreet rural setting near Port Deposit, minutes off Interstate 95. The club's own website describes it as a members-only venue with nearly 10,000 square feet of party space open for almost 25 years, run by owners Donna and Tony. A typical night involves socializing on a professional dance floor with DJs, lounging in quiet areas, enjoying amenities like a hot tub, pool tables, and a light food buffet, plus access to multiple private play rooms with fresh linens.
The club attracts mixed couples and single women from Pennsylvania, Maryland, Delaware, New Jersey, and the wider DMV area, ranging from newcomers to veterans of the lifestyle. Reviewers consistently praise the welcoming, judgment-free atmosphere, the variety of well-maintained facilities, and the quality of the crowd. Recent reviews (2026) highlight the relaxed vibe and respectful environment, though one mentioned an unwelcome uptick in problematic single male behavior.
Overall, The Private Affair scores highly for its established reputation, discretion, amenities, and inclusive culture. It's best suited to couples and single women who want a well-run venue with plenty of space and options, though first-timers should know membership and advance planning are required.

Judgement free zone!! I really enjoyed my experience at Private Affair in Maryland! From the moment I arrived, I felt comfortable and welcomed.

The Best club in Maryland. We live closer to the one in Baltimore, but drive the extra 20 mins to this club. They have a nice dance floor with a DJ, plenty of seating (no VIP seating, you don't pay extra to have a place to sit like the Baltimore one). Plenty of nice quiet areas to talk, More rooms to play in with bigger beds (you don't have to clean the room like the other club makes you do), and no time limits! They…
I didn't know that as a first timer you got to be a member just to go in and have fun. and always that got to have a reservation. Asking for a friend that is a member there to hit me up
Used to be a lot better. Last two times we went it was a significantly older crowd than previously and more importantly there are a ton of annoying and uncomfortable single men. Doubt we'll ever be back.
