Guest Reviews

Historic inn with modern conveniences... in a residential area that's adjacent to Baltimore landmarks...with a friendly innkeeper in an equally welcoming town: that's Rachel's Dowry and who could ask for more. Lovingly restored home that's clean and convenient, filled with pride and beauty. Lovely shared areas downstairs and comfortable rooms with in-room bathrooms, big screen TV, and WiFi. I recommend this B&B and will stay there again.

We loved the...

Sam guided me safely onto the premises from the (free) private lot behind the Inn and shared a terrific dinner recommendation, Angie's Seafood. Located in the middle of an urban oasis sits this...

I found this B&B for a surprise getaway near Valentine's Day two years ago or so. It was cheap and in Baltimore which were the only criteria and I have to say that our expectations were not very high. However, the simple, historic charm of the place - the furnishings, original windows, creaking wood of the stairs, amazing brickwork, and beautifully preserved architecture were beyond our expectations. If that...
