Guest Reviews

Rachael's Dowry Bed & Breakfast is such a gem! It is wonderfully situated in a quiet spot of downtown Baltimore near all the major attractions AND within 3 miles of Johns Hopkins Hospital in east Baltimore. We so enjoyed the historic inn, the lovely period decor, and chatting over tea (Harney's-- the very best!) and cookies with innkeeper Linda Smith, who regaled us with tales of her international adventures...See More

Absolutely wonderful in every way! Booked for our anniversary trip to Baltimore and the Broncos/Ravens game... Well, the game did NOT end well for us, but praise The Lord for the best accommodations we could ever ask for, in a historic bed and breakfast! Linda, the owner and operator, is so dedicated, kind, and friendly, and she really made our stay a great one. And Linda's cooking is EXCELLENT,...See More

WONDERFUL B&B in Baltimore! Clean, quaint, very quiet, comfortable accommodations with lovely amenities that included delicious breakfasts and snacks. Several charming seating areas both indoors and out. Linda is the "hostess with the mostess" and goes out of her way to make her guests feel at home. She will happily share the history of the B&B as well as some of the best places to visit and dine in...See More

Linda went above and beyond to ensure that I was comfortable and made sure I got the inside scoop of Baltimore. I can think of no better place to stay when visiting Baltimore. Not only is it a prime location right next to the oriole stadium and walking distance...See More
