My partner and I traveled from out of state to Baltimore and booked Rachael's Inner Harbor Boutique…read moreInn because we were genuinely looking forward to experiencing the city and staying at what appeared to be a welcoming boutique property. Unfortunately, our experience was extremely disappointing, and the way our reservation was handled left us feeling unwelcome, dismissed, and discriminated against. We had a confirmed reservation, Reservation 9803, and traveled specifically for this stay. During our communication with the property's representative, Samuel Bailey, Innkeeper, I was driving on the freeway and explained that I was having difficulty hearing him clearly. I was still attempting to communicate and resolve the situation. There was also a significant address discrepancy. The address provided to me verbally by the property differed from the address contained in the property's automated communication. Naturally, I was trying to clarify which location I was supposed to go to and obtain assistance with my arrival. Instead of receiving basic hospitality and assistance, the situation escalated and the property ultimately canceled my reservation. I did not request that my reservation be canceled. The property later sent me written confirmation stating that Reservation 9803 had been canceled and identified Samuel Bailey, Innkeeper, in connection with the property. I subsequently contacted Booking.com to dispute the cancellation and request a full refund. What makes this particularly troubling is that Booking.com later contacted me regarding the disconnected phone call and stated that there had been no sound from my side and that the property attempted to call me back. That explanation does not address the central issue: I was trying to communicate that I could not hear properly, there was conflicting address information, and I was seeking assistance, not cancellation. As a traveler who had come from out of state, the appropriate response would have been patience, clarification, and hospitality. Instead, I was left without the accommodation I had traveled to Baltimore to use. I also want to be very clear about the impact this had on us. My partner and I were visiting Baltimore for the first time. Rather than beginning our trip feeling welcomed as guests, we were placed in a situation where we felt that our concerns were dismissed and that we were not afforded the same courtesy or consideration we reasonably expected from a hospitality business. We felt discriminated against by the way the situation was handled. I am not claiming to know the intentions of the individuals involved, but I can accurately describe how we were treated and how the interaction made us feel. My voice and concerns did not feel heard, and the decision to cancel our reservation felt disproportionate to the issue we were attempting to resolve. For a hospitality business, this is especially concerning. When someone has traveled from another state, has a confirmed reservation, and contacts you because they are having difficulty locating or communicating about the property, the expectation should be to help the guest get there safely and successfully, not eliminate the reservation. I am currently requesting a full refund through Booking.com and have asked for the matter to be reviewed and escalated. I hope the ownership or management of this property takes this complaint seriously. This was not simply an inconvenient phone call or a misunderstanding. It was the handling of a confirmed reservation involving out-of-state travelers who were actively attempting to obtain assistance. For our first experience visiting Baltimore, this was an incredibly disappointing introduction to the city. I would strongly encourage prospective guests to make sure they have clear written arrival instructions and to carefully document all communication with the property.

I'm posting this primarily to let readers know that Linda has sold Rachael's Dowry, and that November 2025 was her last month. We met Sam, the new owner, and he seems very nice. He has taken over as of yesterday. It's hard to imagine anyone replacing Linda (we love you, Linda!), but we are still likely to stay there next time we're in Charm City. Best of luck, Sam! Enjoy your retirement, Linda!

Oh my! What a very special weekend here where we attended a family members wedding and reception…read more This beautiful and wonderfully appointed old mansion was an incredibly romantic spot for two young people to join the knot. Our accommodations as guests attending the wedding for the weekend were in the "Tudor" room. The four poster bed was extremely comfortable with plenty of pillows. HVAC didn't appear to be adjustable but was quite comfortable nonetheless. Bathroom had a very large Jacuzzi as well as sink and walk in shower. Plenty of hot water, strong pressure, very refreshing. The grounds are absolutely amazing and neatly landscaped. The food for the event, including dinner and breakfast were spot on! All-in-all, simply charming.

The building is in the Tudor style but has lots of medieval accents, which I found to be interesting. There are several vintage pieces and artwork for sale at affordable prices on display throughout the building. I was super excited about that and purchased a couple of pieces to take home with me. The rooms are very cozy and the mattress/pillows/towels are such good quality. And to top it off, breakfast is solid and hearty. They also know how to host an event. Decor and the setting in the garden was lovely. Already plotting my next visit here.

A TRUE reset -- 4 days I really needed…read more I just finished a 4-day stay at Wellspring Spa and Manor and I'm already planning how to get back. From the moment I arrived, the manor itself felt like a deep exhale. It's beautiful, peaceful, and so thoughtfully kept -- the kind of place where you can actually rest. The service was exceptional. Attentive without ever being hovering. Every staff member was warm, present, and made me feel genuinely cared for the entire time. You can tell they love what they do. The breakfasts every morning were amazing -- fresh, delicious, and made with care. And I really looked forward to the evening hors d'oeuvres with wine each day. It was such a lovely ritual to wind down, enjoy a glass, and just be. I had a facial that was incredible. Truly one of the best I've ever had -- my skin is still glowing. I also had a massage that was alright. It was relaxing and professional, just didn't wow me the way the facial did, but I still left feeling relaxed. The unexpected gift were the people (guests). What I didn't expect was the community. The other guests (Haili, Drake, Karen, Gary, Olivia, Miguel and his wife/girlfriend and Jordan and her mom) were absolutely wonderful. I came for quiet rest, and a reset but meeting and connecting with such kind, interesting people was so welcome. We shared meals, wine, recommendations, stories, "adventure" and laughter. That connection filled a part of me I didn't realize needed filling. Thank you to everyone at Wellspring for creating a space that feels healing in every way -- body, belly, and soul. If you're on the fence, book the stay. You deserve it. I'll definitely be back.

Located on Kent Island overlooking the Chesapeake, this is the perfect getaway. It took us about an hour to drive there from downtown (with no traffic) and was easy to find on a lightly traveled road a few miles from the main highway. The house is massive, but there are only two rooms available for guests. We recommend the Osprey room, which overlooks the bay. In the morning, you wake to a glorious sunrise on the bay. This is soon followed by breakfast carefully prepared by Maria and Ed Peffly, the owners. Each morning we had fresh fruit, and coffee followed by a main breakfast. One morning it was a salmon frittata the next is was blueberry and banana pancakes. The only down side of breakfast was having to muster uncomfortable conversation with the other couple there who were on a romantic getaway. But that is par for the course at a B+B. During the day we walked around in the nearby Terrapin State Park and explored the island. We were there in March, and the usual Kent island riff raff were not to be found. In the evenings we sat under the stars in the hot tub and let the stress slough away. We basically had the run of the house, and although there was one other couple there, we never saw them except at breakfast. The grounds were amazing and at night a herd (15 or so) deer can be seen munching away on the grass. There was a pool, but it wasn't open when we were there. They have a gym and game room that we used once (Who goes to a B&B to use the gym?) What else can I say, for $160 a night (in the off season, you get a wonderful room overlooking the bay, a great breakfast and seclusion from the real world. If I was to conjure criticisms, I would say that the rooms had a bit too much potpourri for our taste and that some of the decor was on the Laura Ashley side, but that is really being picky. This is a real gem. NOTE: I was reluctant to post this review for one simple reason--people will go to and love this place and we'll never be able to book a room again. But we liked the owners so much that we figured that keeping it a secret wouldn't be fair. Let me be frank. By people I mean you loathsome SUV driving butt cracks that make it necessary for rational people to escape DC. Please go to Disney.

They had a small lot and our car, with belongings, were safe. Upon arriving we were worried what the place would look like inside. It was very nice. We were also happy to see that they had an elevator. We were warmly greeted and shown our room. The room was very clean. The bathroom was large and appeared to be marble or at least, very good stone. We had a jacuzzi and a separate shower. It was difficult maneuvering the jacuzzi as the faucets and knobs were very unique. The refrig and microwave were in the closet. We didn't find it until my husband went down to look for the fridge with complimentary water! Breakfast was very good. You ordered the night before and there were no mistakes. Breakfast alone was worth upwards of $10 each. The fruit was good and both our omelettes as well. I had the egg white and my husband - usual omelette. We shared a waffle. There was a Keurig and water available all day. We enjoyed our stay and walked into Fells Point - not a short walk (1 mile or so) but when eating fresh ice cream from the oldest market (that just opened) a walk was necessary!
