Enjoyed the stay!
This historic B&B provided a quiet retreat and was a welcome change from commercial hotel stays. The innkeeper was very thoughtful and hospitable, which helped to ensure a comfortable stay. I would return!

Great Stay for Concert at Elkton Music Hall
When we arrived I could not find anyone in the lobby but then saw an envelope with my name on it. The lobby area and the back porch area where breakfast is served is very historic looking, but well maintained and cozily decorated. Ditto for our room once we let ourselves in. The grounds are very relazing.

Was looking for a place to sleep in middle of a long drive. Saved a lot of money by getting off the highway a few miles. Unique location and a super nice owner. I will return.

Dirty and old
The rooms were dirty, with grime on the baseboards, walls, and in the shower. There was a ring in the toilet like it hadn’t been cleaned in a bit. There was dirt and leaves all over the deck with many spider webs. Toilet paper was single ply. The furniture was old and beat up. We skipped the breakfast as we were not comfortable with the cleanliness of their kitchen based on the room.

Very outdated and needs cleaning
We booked this room for a romantic getaway for my husband’s birthday. However, the property is not quite as described. It is really old and outdated. I think the last time they renovated the hotel was 50 years ago. Also, there was no one at the check-in and no breakfast available the day after. We did not see any inkeeper throughout the entire stay. Unfortunately, we were quite disappointed.

I am very glad that Expedia includes Bed and Breakfasts in its listings. The experience at one of these is definitely more interesting than a hotel. This one is located on a beautiful piece of property. We didn't have time to walk around too much but we enjoyed hearing all the birds. The house is definitely historical. Sometimes it showed its age, but was generally comfortable. The breakfast was pretty good and we would stay there again.

This is such a charming place to stay. There are so many nooks and crannies in which you can read, observe, relax. The breakfast of scrambled eggs, fruit, granola , and waffles was good. There is ample outdoor seating for good weather. All in all, it was a relaxing and enjoyable stay. I would definitely return.

The most impressive part of our stay was the hospitality of the staff. They made us feel welcome, even though Expedia messed up the reservation. Our room was large, well equipped and in a beautiful location. I will stay here again!

The carpeting in our room was soaking wet. We didn’t realize till we took off our shoes. We called the owner who sent his daughter. She said” oh the people who were here last night overfilled the jacuzzi tub in our room ( did not order a jacuzzi room) and we did for the best we could.” She put down a towel. I requested to speak with the owner ( spoke with owners wife) but never had the common courtesy to call me. And grossly, there are dead bugs everywhere. In hdd ed common areas and on the window sills. Never again. Dirty and gross
