Having returned home after our family round trip, I thought it was time to drop a note for others to see. It is rare that you get invited into a persons home and are able to live with such close proximity to the family that is providing you a bed and some breakfast. In our stay we were made to feel safe, welcome and an extension of the family. The location is without doubt truly beautiful and a perfect spot to act as a base to hit the major cities in the region. The house is spotless with an area segmented off that can be made into your own. Meals are had in a joint Kitchen area where you have the pleasure of meeting the Family. We were made to feel most welcome with three kids and three adults; for that we owe great thanks.

We really enjoyed our stay at the Taylor House. It's like you stay with a family. The rooms are fantastic and very clean. The owner shares helpful information and gives an inside in the history of the town, which is cute and a good stopover / hub for visiting Washington DC. Tranks for the great time, Sophie! Greets from Germany!

My wife and I made a reservation at the Taylor House only a week in advance of the U.S. Power Boat Show in Annapolis, and were able to get a room because of a cancellation. We figgured we were very lucky to get any room, but we didn't know what a "Secret Gem" we had stumbled upon. This immaculate, friendly, small Inn was wonderful. Kevin Walter

October 14, 2012
We vacationed to Annapolis to see the sights and getaway from work pressure. Sophie is a wonderful host and the accommodations were first-rate. Sightseeing suggestions and help getting tickets to the Navy Football game were very helpful. We would not hesitate to stay here should business or pleasure put us in the Annapolis area.

Very homey atmosphere. Wonderful owner. Goes above and beyond for guests. Loved it!
5 out of 5Nice Getaway!
June 21, 2012
This was our first visit to Annapolis. Sophie and Grandma were more than accommodating! Our room was ready and impressive when we arrived. All the beds are either a single or double, but for the week we were there, the double bed worked fine for us. Sophie cleaned our bathroom while we were out exploring during the day, which was very nice. The continental breakfast was more than enough. There was a variety of cold cereals, breads with spreads, pastries of some kind, along with yogurt, juices, coffee and teas. The grounds of The Taylor House are gorgeous, and since the weather was fabulous, we enjoyed sitting on the front porch or back patio whenever we had the chance! Sophie and Grandma are fun people to be around. Grandma loves to tell stories about her life, and Sophie is very knowledgeable about the area. It is a little drive into the DC area or Virginia, but we enjoyed that we had a quiet place away from the crowds. There is a nice park very close by that has kayaks, canoes and paddles boats, which we enjoyed one day. Downtown Annapolis is very cute and has a lot to be explored. We didn't eat at a local restaurant that we didn't like the entire trip!
4.6 out of 5Spacious, clean, well-located comfort at an affordable price
June 17, 2012
Sophie's place is a home away from home but better. The rooms are spacious, airy, and meticulously clean with beautiful hardwood throughout. I entered my quiet and cool room to the beautiful scent of flowers from the garden wafting in through the screened window. The ceiling fan (along with central air) and comfortable mattress made for a great night's sleep. The house is new but designed with an old-fashioned charm. The property is nicely shaded and tucked near the woods on a wide expanse of green space close to the water and to the town center. Sophie herself is warm and accommodating and an enthusiastic ambassador for all that Annapolis has to offer. The price point was excellent, especially for such a comfortable, clean, and charming place to stay. I am pleased I found the Taylor House and would not hesitate to stay there again.
5 out of 5Clean, Comfortable, Well-Appointed
March 08, 2012
I stayed at the Taylor House for two nights, enjoying a lovely room with beautiful antiques, a desk where I could work, and a sitting room where I could watch TV. The Taylor House is immaculately maintained, quiet, and comfortable. Sophia not only knows a great deal about Annapolis and what it has to offer, she also has contacts and references which are invaluable. I went on a wonderful eco tour of Annapolis and enjoyed 25% off the rate because of her personal connections. Additionally, she gave me a card for a complimentary dessert at The Main Ingredient, and I was grateful to be introduced to that restaurant--the food and service are so phenomenal that I've made another trip up to Annapolis just to eat there. When I left The Taylor House, Sophia and her Mom walked out with me, and as I drove off, they were waving at me until I was out of sight--a perfect picture of the hospitality one receives at The Taylor House, from beginning to end. I am looking forward to a return visit. I went to Annapolis for a few days of relaxation, and that is what The Taylor House afforded me. I am very grateful.
