We've lived five minutes from this inn for over 20 years and finally our curiousity got the best of us, so we booked the Terrace Room for one night for my birthday. Our reaction was WOW! and why did we wait so long? What a lovely getaway, from the beautiful Williamsburg-style interiors, to the gracious hospitality, to our perfect room, everything was delightful. Our room was very private and luxurious with a fireplace and two-person jacuzzi, and I've never slept in a more comfortable bed away from home. David's breakfast was delicious and we had a great time chatting away the morning with him. It was the perfect getaway without going away for us. We will DEFINITELY be back!

David and Susan have a truly amazing B&B. Every detail is thought out from the excellent lavender scented linens to the superb decor and delicious breakfasts. In addition, David went out with my daughter in the evening to help her catch fireflies!

My husband usually doesn't care for B &B's, but the Wayside Inn was an exception (having a tv with a seemingly infinite # of channels didn't hurt). The accommodations were clean, spacious & oozed with charm and comfort. The linens on the bed were of a very high grade and the host was affable and provided excellent service. He made a special effort when we arrived to make sure that he was familiar with our food preferences.The breakfast was well prepared and made to order Loved their unique coffee machine that was available 24/7. We both look forward to staying at the Wayside Inn again, hopefully for a longer visit!

This being our first B&B experience sets a high standard for any that may come in the future. Wayside Inn B&B in Ellicott City was amazing. The suite was outstanding in comfort, amenities, cleanliness and decor. The inn as a whole is spotless and that is the truth. Even the corners are 'clean'! No cobwebs, no hidden surprises it was pristine. The sheets are the most comfortable I've "ever" slept on. They were a true luxury! The owner David is wonderful and helped me make our surprise anniversary stay everything I hoped it would be for myself and my husband. His breakfast was awesome - he made a baked grapefruit that was delicious and I don't like grapefruit. My husband was just as impressed by everything and the history, the decor and the hospitality. The grounds surrounding the inn are pleasent as well and will be very inviting when visiting in the warmer months. There are several types of rooms but all stay within the history of the inn. Some rooms don't have tv so if you want to just relax for your stay and the ones that do have top notch big screen wall mounted with fios. All rooms have fireplaces which is great. Our stay was wonderful and we are definitly going back again sometime soon. This is one of those stays that will bring back happy memory smiles for a long time to come. Wayside is top notch and gets are top rating of (this one's for you David) 30 stars!!!

Innkeeper Response
Just a quick point of clarification: ALL of our rooms have TVs. Some are hidden away in armoirs so the guest does not have to see them if that is what they desire. These guests (who were GREAT guests...and thanks for your review!) just did not open the armoirs to reveal the tvs when they were touring the other rooms.

My wife and I make a point of staying at the Wayside Inn at least once every year. The innkeepers are wonderful and friendly, the rooms are outstanding, and the service is fabulous. You have the opportunity to stay in a wonderful, historic home near a spectacular colonial town. Mr. Balderson ensures that he cooks an spectacular, gourmet breakfast for all the guests as well. They also work with some local restaurants and massage therapists to provide deals in the area. A definite must that we recommend to all our friends and family who visit the DC area.

My boyfriend and I stayed here for a much needed getaway and the only words to describe it are "absolutely amazing." David is an exceptional cook and the breakfasts were unbelievable! We stayed in the Banneker Room and loved the fireplace and jacuzzi. I can't say enough nice things about this place, we will definitely be back!

We have been been staying at the Wayside at least once a year for several years. As members of the military, my wife and I have stayed at B&Bs all over the world, and this one definitely ranks at the top. The service is phenominal and the culinary skills the Balderson's exhibit for morning breakfasts is exceptional. We recommend The Wayside Inn to everyone who comes to visit us, and we highly recommend them to you. The only bad part of staying at the Wayside Inn, is when you have to leave.

My husband and I spend our wedding night at Wayside. We've been back each year on our anniversary and added an extra trip this year for my birthday. The service is amazing, as is Michael's wonderful talents as a chef. I can still recall each breakfast I've had there, as they are always unique. We highly recommend.

This was our first experience at a Bed and Breakfast, but were delighted that the Wayside MORE than exceeded our expectations! The room was BEAUTIFUL (The Banneker Room), the Jacuzzi was wonderful, it was VERY clean! We were a bit nervous about conversation with people we didn't know at breakfast, but we had a blast! So much laughter, delicious food, wonderful Innkeepers...we look forward to coming back! Ellicott City is a great little town, with so much to offer! Make the Wayside Inn part of your experience!!!!
