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!
