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 stayed in the Peach Room and it was an absolute delight. The house is clean and cozy and it features plenty of little trinkets and unique decorations that are fun to look at. Above all, Guy and Clelia are amazing hosts that go above and beyond to make you feel welcome. I had an entertaining time talking to Guy about his military career and he was just as invested in learning about mine. He also gave me a bunch of recommendations on where to visit and places to eat in the area. For breakfast, Guy and Clelia make sure to note if you have any food allergies and they also check in on what time you'd like to have breakfast so everything is prepared beforehand. Breakfast featured a beautiful place settings that was meticulously put together and my heart shaped pancakes were delicious. TLDR: Thank you Guy and Clelia for being amazing hosts!

Guy & Clelia were great with communication as soon as I made my reservation. I'm not a stranger to Baltimore but wanted to do something different. This was my first time staying at a bed & breakfast. Baltimore is my home away from home. Nostalgia and my love for row houses heavily influenced my decision to stay here. Breakfast both days was good, but the French toast was my favorite. My stay was peaceful and quiet. I'm not a light sleeper; however, anyone who is may have had trouble sleeping with the windows ac unit on as it was a little loud. Also, there was a TV in my room but it wasn't operational. I didn't mention it to the hosts as I took it as a sign that I needed to rest, and I used my own device for entertainment. If you're looking for a unique experience in Baltimore, don't mind chatting with Guy and fellow travelers at breakfast, consider staying at the Wilson House. I'd return in the future.

One of our party is allergic to cats, and had no significant trouble from cat dander. (However, pollen was plentiful in the region, so be aware of environmental problems.) My favorite part of the inn was the screened back porch, providing sunshine, fresh air, and plenty of bird watching opportunities with three separate feeders around the porch. So peaceful and pleasant! I highly recommend The Wilderness.

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!

This beautiful B&B by the Chesapeake Bay offers so many opportunities throughout the day for a calm…read moreand relaxing stay by the water -- from sitting by the river while watching the daybreak, to swimming in the pool while watching the moonrise, and everything in between. There are plenty of lounge and rocking chairs throughout the property to just read a book under a tree or rock yourself to sleep. There's a respectable-sized pool outdoor overlooking the river (with a diving board at the deep end), and a spa and sauna indoor. The larger room (Holly and Ivy) is 2-rooms connected together and out to the balcony with clothes line to help dry your clothes after your water adventures. The children's tale-themed rooms are decorated with family belongings and heirloom (e.g., the Blue Willow room was the owner's daughter's room), so you feel right at home. Some of our family members stayed in beds in the library downstairs surrounded by old and newer books next an antique desk and yes, a spinning wheel. Around the corner there is a pier with a bench on a floating dock tied to it. Night time is magical, with or without the moon and stars, and you can just watch the boat or house lights on the river side glitter over the water. There is no A/C, but honestly, the breeze -- even during the summer where it's 90-100 degrees elsewhere -- provides enough natural coolant that you may only need the fans, which are provided in the rooms. Robin, the friendly and accommodating owner, is always ready with a quick smile and a story about the history of the family or house. Common sense rules are posted for enjoyment of all (quiet hours observed after 11pm, tie the boat by the shed, care to be taken with the fragile bathroom system, etc.) The farm has Pixie the goat and the 2 sheep (who have gone viral with their own video!) along with chickens and ducklings and Pete the sweet dog (with his own police record!) and a cat who just roam about the property. Eggs from the farm are abundant and the owner encouraged us to cook and eat them lest they get spoiled. The town with groceries (Giant, Safeway), with restaurants and fast food (Arby's, Saigon Palace, and the Chesapeake Seafood with their superfresh seafood among others) are about a 15 min drive north, so this place is both secluded and convenient. If there were any drawback, there are mostly related to the water-sport area as some gears felt a bit worn (there's some "old ignored Chesapeake" feel to it), e.g., it would help to have more adult-sized comfortable life vest and more 2-paddle oars (to match the number of seats on the kayaks/boats if all boats are to be used). The greenhouse area where the sauna and spa is also just that -- a greenhouse, with tools lying around (don't expect a lavish steam room) -- but to me, these add to the charm of this down-to-earth B&B that makes it feel closer to home. The 1921 B&B history book mentioned spiritual entities (a white dog, a lady in black) but during our stay they didn't manifest themselves or being bothersome (they were all part of the ancestral family of the owner after all) -- It's actually made the stay a bit exciting and Robin told some of the historical stories quite light heartedly, which is appreciated. A dreamy and memorable stay in this fantastic historic place, with a super friendly host and beautiful view all around.
