Guest Reviews

This is my first time staying at a B&B, but I absolutely loved it. This is not the place you stay if you want to party, or be loud – it's a beautiful, quiet, homely accommodation that we absolutely loved. Linda, the innkeeper and owner, was so kind and helpful. The rooms were beautiful, the common areas were stunning (my favorite was the book room), and the amenities were...See More

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our two-night stay at Rachael's Dowry. It is a beautifully restored 1790s townhouse with period furnishings in downtown Baltimore with all the touches you'd expect at a first-rate B & B: charming decor, comfortable, quiet rooms, delicious breakfasts and a gracious, friendly and an accommodating host (Linda). Rachael's Dowry made our sightseeing trip to Baltimore extra special!

- Allison Jones
