    Built in 1898, Lodgecliffe is a gracious turn-of-the-century country home perched on a bluff overlooking the wide expanse of the lower Choptank River. In 2005, each of our three guest suites was beautifully renovated and a large deck and screen porch were added taking full advantage of its stunning river setting. We invite you to experience the delight, charm, romance and relaxation that is Lodgecliffe.

    A wonderful stay

    May 08, 2013

    Kathryn and Autumn run a tight ship at the Lodgecliffe B&B -- they are possibly the nicest, most hospitable hosts I have met at a B&B. For example, because several of us were riding in a 100-mile bike race which started early in the morning, Kathryn and Autumn woke up super early and had a very nice continental breakfast set up for us at 5:30 AM. The rooms were very nice and clean, and the grounds were immaculately maintained. The breakfasts were outstanding, and the food was all locally sourced, which I really appreciated. The house is located on the banks of the Choptank River, which allows for spectacular views of the water. I'm looking forward to staying there again!

    A beautiful place! We enjoyed the grounds and house. They use alot of air fresheners that smell like perfume and are not needed.

    Our favorite

    October 30, 2012

    We have been married for 33 years and we always celebrate our anniversary at a B & B. So we have a lot of B & B experience. Our stay at Lodgecliffe rates right up there at the top. Kathryn and Autumn were so warm and accommodating. They made us feel right at home. They gave us some great tips for making our stay in Cambridge most memorable. There was so much to do, but if that is not your thing, the chairs on the lawn overlooking the Choptank were most inviting. Last but not least, the breakfasts were out of this world! Thanks for a great time!

    Outstanding in Every Way

    October 19, 2012

    Last weekend I stayed at Lodgecliffe and could not have been happier with the service and accomodations. The innkeepers were wonderful and prepared incredible breakfasts and afternoon treats during our stay. The thoughtfulness and consideration towards their guests was undeniable. The space was comfortable, inviting and I enjoyed the fantastic view of the Choptank River from the backyard. I look forward to planning another trip there soon.
