Whitehaven Hotel

This inn is very special from the location to the innkeeper.

I can't say enough good things about our stay at the Whitehaven Hotel. Our room, the Victorian, was perfect and the hotel overall could not be more charming. Hotel manager Cindy saw to our every need and served up the most delicious breakfasts every morning. We spent three wonderful relaxing nights and left completely refreshed. We've already booked our next stay for September and can't wait to go back.

Friendly staff, delicious breakfast, with vegetarian options, peaceful location. We had a wonderful weekend!

Everything was just perfect. Looking forward to my next visit!

The Whitehaven Hotel was exactly what I needed to get away. The area was quiet,clean, and tranquil. Cindy was very hospitable and the room was amazing. Even the other guests were quite pleasant to conversate with. Definately will return and recommend for a longer stay. If you decide that you need a great getaway, you will love WhiteHaven.

We had a great time at Whitehaven Hotel for the valentine's dinner weekend. A great value and wonderful company. The beef tenderloin was delicious and Cindy was a great hostess. Thanks for giving us the perfect evening away.

The Staff makes you feel like Family and makes your stay comfortable.

Cindy was wonderful and her food was excellent! Will definately be back again for a longer stay.

We could not wait to stay at the Whitehaven Hotel again - it had been 2 years since our last visit. We found it to be even better the second time around! We enjoyed a lovely fire in the Victorian room and watched the ferry shuttle back and forth across the river. Breakfast the next morning was as delicious as it was creative and Cindy is a delight!

In James Michener's "Chesapeake," a man disillusioned by the over-development and materialism of the upper Eastern Shore sets out on a quest to find the "real" Eastern Shore- naturally beautiful, serene, and unspoiled. When he comes across the ferry and discovers Whitehaven, he knows he's found the real thing, as it still is today.

I have been going to The Whitehaven Hotel 1x a year since it opened. I look forward to it every year and I spent my honeymoon there. Innkeeper Cindy Curran has become a dear and trusting friend. Her breakfasts are out of this WORLD! I will always be grateful to Ken for saving this beautiful structure. I would not have had the best times of my life had it not been for he and Cindy.

There is a sign hanging next to the side door of the Whitehaven Hotel that states:" Enter as guests, leave as friends." We left as friends and are eager to return. Cindy Curran has made sure that every need her guests might have are met. From the binoculars thoughtfully placed by the front door to the coffee pot in our room all the comforts of home are present. Thick toweling robes, lovely bath salts, kayaks, delicious breakfasts with plenty of hot coffee are just part of what makes this B & B a perfect getaway. Carefully prepared trays of wine and cheese in the evening accompanied by lively conversation added to the charming decor and welcoming atmosphere. The views are gorgeous and the front porch and floating docks are very comfortable places to enjoy them from. We enjoyed waking up to the aroma of fresh coffee and a fire in the living room fireplace. The hotel is extremely clean and well tended and the decor is lovely. Cindy, Jefferson and Priscilla made us feel comfortable and well cared for. Our weekend was outstanding by all measures!

The best kept secret. What a wonderful place to disappear from life and enjoy a quiet time to reconnect with the love of your life.

We were late for the ferry and had to go around and arrived at dusk. The house looked really cool and the little town was so cute we looked forward to exploring in the am. There was still wine chilling from the wine service at 4pm which was much needed, dare I say, after a little stress on the drive. The keys and directions to our room (there are quite a few rooms)were wating for us. our room was really cute, I reserved the smaller one. We saw most of the others which were all cool.( if you are tall watch your head in the door ways!) the outside setting is beautiful and the town was indeed cute. squirrels everywhere! There is coffee at 8 and a wonderful breakfast at 9. Cindy is really sweet and does a great job. The story of the house is interesting and the surroundings are calm and lovely. I would recommend this place to others!

The staff was great, friendly, entertaining, helpful. It was an oustanding experience.

We just had two extra days on a business trip to Washington and by chance picked the Whitehaven hotel as a hideaway. Honestly, we passed some of the most romantic days of our lives in Maryland.

My husband and I loved our stay here. Cindy was wonderful and the accomodations were super. The bed in our room was one of the most comfortable beds I have slept on. The stay was special for us since we grew up in the area and remember the hotel before it was restored.

Great place, quiet and relaxed. Would go back to Whitehaven and bring our own kayaks. Room was small for the money but clean and nicely decorated. Breakfast was delicious and the staff wonderful. The ferry was a wonderful surprise!

It was our second stay at Whitehaven, one of the best kept secrets of Maryland's eastern shore. The house is beautiful and we especially enjoyed the large loft under the roof, very convenient for a small family with a baby. Outdoors activities are fun, and you shouldn't miss the red roost, a true crab shack nearby. On the sunday, we went to a boat race with the innkeeper, and we had really a good time.

Cute bed and breakfast!! Great location with great decor. Make sure that you have directions to get there, GPS can get confused!

The Inn Keeper was very friendly and helpful with local day trips in the area --- a trip back in time to relax and take in the river, the birds and peacefulness. We loved the porch and enjoyed drinking coffee and watching the ferry. The hamlet of 50 residents were friendly and welcoming. The breakfast was excellent. Wine at 4Pm was wonderful esp sitting on the wharf.

This B&B is situated directly on a river with two of their own docks, one of them being huge. There is an estuary right next to the hotel, and they provide two kayaks for guests to explore. They also have four bikes for guests to borrow and there is a wildlife refuge nearby that is a great bike ride. The breakfasts were excellent, the hospitality wonderful, and the wine and cheese in the evenings was a nice touch. We look forward to any excuse to make our next trip! BC

We have been going to Whitehaven for 5 years & have never been disappointed. The rooms are beautiful and immaculately keep! Cindy is always welcoming. The breakfast is delicious. Love to sit on the porch in the morning with my coffee and just enjoy the peacefulness. Plan on continuing our yearly trip to The Whitehaven!

This was our first visit to the city of Quantico and stay at the Whitehaven Hotel. I must say, this was one of the best B & B my husband and I ever visited and were very pleased with everything we experienced that weekend. The staff was exceptional, the food was delicious, and the atmosphere was very peaceful and relaxing; what a beautiful weekend get-away! We cannot wait to come back!! Thank you for your hospitality, we are truly grateful! T & M~ :o)

Pristine location for environmentalists. Local restaurants casual, friendly and great food. We felt welcome and had all that we needed. I only wish that we had arrived earlier to enjoy the whole day.

What a beautiful, quiet setting. The hotel is beautifully restored, the breakfasts delicious, and the in keepers are friendly and helpful. You can dock your boat, take a ride on a bike, or kayak on the river. We had a wonderful time!

Serene, friendly, restorative. Watched the pelicans dive and listened to the marsh birds sing. A step back in time on the lazy Wicomico. Lovely.

Certainly a place to relax. Close to most of Southern Maryland's antique stores, small towns, kayaking, and birding adventures. Very nice people!

We have been many times and are never disappointed; the atmosphere is welcoming and "Chef Cindy" is without compare!

A wonderful B & B with a charming staff. Terrific location for relaxing and taking in beautiful waterfront vistas. If you like quaint and enchanting this is the spot for you. Breakfast was delicious and the beds comfortable. We are looking forward to a return visit to this one!

We arrived a bit early and Cindy was able to quickly and easily get us settled in. The other guests were pleasant. The village of Whitehaven is quiet and like taking a step back in time. The hotel is beautiful and nicely decorated. The layout is quirky with hidden rooms and neat details. We visited the nearby fishing communities. The Wicomico is hot in the summer but the evening breeze and time out on the kayaks were a welcome break. We are looking forward to going back. Thank you Cindy for everything.

Very nice grounds. I knew the condition of the hotel before they began the renovation and was amazed by the results. Lack of an in room television was the only negative, but that may be due to unavailability of cable. A guide to stations in the community tv computer room would have been nice

This was a repeat visit to Whitehaven. Love the hotel, the peaceful little village and the people. We will be back.

The ADA room on first floor, the screened East Porch, the willingness of staff to be helpful, and the amicable other guests were exceptional. We'll be back.

We had driven by the Hotel in the past, and made a mental note to return (we love historic b&bs). We returned this past weekend for a quick visit to the southern eastern shore, and to re-visit the Red Roost (nearby crab house that we love). The Whitehaven Hotel exceeded our expectations! The view from our room was nothing short of spectacular - we watched a storm approach in the night, watched the sun rise as well as a cruiseliner pass by early in the morning. The peaceful setting provided the perfect respite from our busy work lives, and we so enjoyed meeting Cindy, the Innkeeper - not only was she knowledgeable about the area, but a very warm and welcoming person. Already planning our trip back to Whitehaven! ---The McCarthy's

We stayed two nights in one of the smaller rooms in June, and we absolutely would do it again. Cindy's breakfasts were delicious, the atmosphere was perfect for a quiet getaway, and we even were able to borrow the inn's kayaks and bicycles for exploring the river and surroundings. Definitely recommended.

We had a great time watching the ferry right from the rocking chair on the front porch. Scenery was great, lawn was very nicely kept; however, some areas could be improved on. Room needed a few more ammenities. There was hand soap, but no shop for showers. Coffee in room was very difficult and did not work well. Coffee for all was available after 8:15 or so. We are early risers and had nothing from 7 until then. We would have appreciated some little munchies with the evening wine, but not much available. One afternoon had a plate of pound cake squares, but that was all. However, I guess these are little things. We really enjoyed the area and the outside of the B&B is very nice. We had a very small room, which we knew due to the price and it was fine once we could open windows and get some air. I was a little uncomfortable with the innkeeper not in the building most of the time, but I guess it was OK. We did call her one night and were able to reach her by cell phone with questions. All-in-all met expectations, but certainly did not exceed.

Very nice rooms, outstanding breakfast and beautiful surroundings. Lovely hostess.

went for 2 nights in mid April looking forward to relaxing and just watching the Wicomico River.Stayed in the Victorian room which shares a screened -in porch with the Garden room(where our friends stayed)and it was wonderful.The highlight of our stay was the cruise to Bordeleau Winery offered by Bob Culvert on his beautiful boat. What a perfectly relaxing and fun way to spend a few hours on a warm April afternoon.Capt. Bob and innkeeper Cindy were the perfect hosts!

The Whitehaven is quiet and lovely. Breakfasts are delicious and interesting with a new treat each time we visit. The Whitehaven staff take great care to make our visit relaxing. The little touches, like fresh flowers and wine, are delightful.

Love this place. This time around we took another couple with us in july 2010 and they loved it as well. We added the winery cruise that the owners made available and set-up for us. What a great trip, would recommend it even if your not a wine drinker. very very nice scott h. baltimore

We had a lovely time at Whitehaven - snowy outside, warm fire inside. Cindy was extremely personable! We also appreciated all of the stories about the hotel that had been gathered, and spent a relaxing evening reading about the history of the hotel and the area. We are definitely returning!

A step back in time to the 19th century in a quaint village on the water. Great place for a relaxing getaway. Hotel is comfortable, food is delicious, innkeeper is charming and helpful. A wonderful experience.

Really enjoyed my time. The hotel is beautiful and the people equally so. Everyone was so welcoming and kind. I will definitely go back.

Third time is the charm...already planning on #4. Great place. Wonderful views. Quiet Quaint Quite Marvelous. Cindy A+++++

Our third Ya Ya get away to Whitehaven and sooo looking forward to our 2nd annual Bunco Babes road trip in November....we book the whole house. Beautiful setting, wonderful hospitality and yummy breakfast.....what more could you want.

My first trip to the Whitehaven Hotel was with my husband. We fell in LOVE with the B & B! Brought my girlfriends the next visit, it was a surprise trip...they didn't know where I was taking them! We stayed in the 2 rooms with the screen porches. Another success story! That wasn't enough...we rented the entire house for a night with my Bunco Babes. The laughter and love filled the house! My next visit included the package with a boat ride to the winery and delicious dinner prepared by Cindy....my parents joined us that time. Great memories were made! Cindy is the most gracious innkeeper she warms your heart and makes you feel so welcome! The meals have been fabulous, breakfast and dinner! The rooms are beautiful and clean! This is my favorite B & B! We have been blessed to have met Cindy! PS Don't miss the ferry ride!

We had passed by a few times in a 2 year period while visiting a nearby crab house with the hopes of staying one day and finally did on Sunday of the 2009 Memorial Day weekend. What a perfect out of the way place. Just far enough off the beaten path to feel like you stepped back in time but close enough to the hustle and bustle if you feel the need. Service was great. Rooms exceptionally clean and neat. Great surroundings Innkeepers were more than accomodating. Thanks Cindy we will see you again S.H from Baltimore

stayed here on our way to ocean city and it was great. The room was clean, the food was awesome, and it was neat meeting other guests at the breakfast table. I reccomend the Red Roost. AMAZING FOOD. We are definitely planning to stay again.

Everything was fantastic. Rooms were gorgeous with period antiques, screened porches off each room, so tastefully done. The innkeeper was so warm & friendly. Made a gourmet breakfast to die for! Everything was lovely. Our 2nd stay, with 2 more planned already.

I have stayed at whitehaven several times. I just love it. The owners are very special. The rooms are lovely and the food is the best. I come every year.

The stay was great. Very clean, beautifully docorated and the food was wonderful.

People were friendly and relaxed. Great room with a water view. Relaxing evening sitting in front of the fire in the beautifully restored parlor. We were so happy with this inn that we made reservations to go back in April. If you are looking a peaceful weekend away, this is the place to go.
