The Wayside Inn is an historic Bed and Breakfast nearby historic Ellicott City, the site of the first railway station in the United States. The Inn is within minutes of art galleries, museums, antique shops and award winning restaurants. It is a short hop to downtown Baltimore or to catch the Metro into exciting Washington, D.C., with all those cities have to offer. Yet the Wayside Inn is safely located in the tranquil hills of Ellicott City on two acres of landscaped property, with a beautiful pond amid mature trees(one White Oak certified to have been standing at the signing of the U.S Constitution)and stunning gardens. In the past few months the owners have completely renovated the second floor adding private baths with Jacuzzi style tubs to some rooms and adding a brand new Luxury suite. Your Comfort is our Passion!

5 out of 5Absolutely Wonderful
May 08, 2013
The proprietor is absolutely one of the most charismatic gentlemen I have ever encountered he is a compendium of knowledge of the area and very helpful as well as funny. Rooms are beautiful and well done without segueing into kitsch just classic and well preserved architecture with enough modern amenities to be all inclusive. Absolutely would recommend it to any couple for a romantic getaway , or a honeymoon. Also the breakfast was top notch and actually better than that of a restaurant and as a hospitality industry professional that's really saying something.
4.8 out of 5A great place to stay
May 01, 2013
A lovely place for a romantic retreat. It's amazing how intimate and isolated it feels, and yet it is just a couple minutes from all the things you would want to do in Ellicott City, Columbia, or even Baltimore. Breakfast was wonderful. We stayed in the Ellicott room, which has a Jacuzzi-style tub for 2. Very nice all around.

April 20, 2013
I would recommend the Wayside Inn to any of my friends, and I already have. Our innkeeper, David was wonderful! --full of suggestions, conversation, and just a wonderful host. Everything about our stay was very relaxing. The inn is also a very perfect balance between being away from everything and still just around the corner from downtown historic Ellicott City--which fulfilled my requirement for having water nearby. We ate our ice cream on the bridge while overlooking the Patapsco River. We also enjoyed a heron, ducks, and a turtle in the pond of the Wayside Inn's backyard. The breakfast was more than enough and so delicious! We skipped lunch altogether. It was a wonderful escape, and I know we will be back again soon. Thank you David & Susan.

The Wayside Inn was really romantic, private and quiet. It was a little expensive, but very worth it for a night get-away. David was a great, pleasant host and made ridiculously good breakfasts. Definitely a great romantic place for couples! we also loved that baltimore and DC were so close by. Elicott city was absollutely adorable too

My wife and I were celebrating our 11th wedding anniversary and decided to do something a little different. We had done the overnight stay in a hotel before and while nice it was too impersonal. This B&B however was perfect. We had never been to a B&B before so we did not know what to expect and I think we have now set the bar a little if not very high. The tour when we arrived was a nice personal touch. The Terrace room was beautiful. Immaculatly clean bathroom. David and Susan go out of their way to make sure you enjoy your stay.

My boyfriend took me to the Wayside Inn for my 50 birthday. We spent the night in the Banneker Room. The fireplace and bed was comfy cozy and the spa tub was sublime. The Italian roast coffee and 6 cheese baked egg breakfast was out of this world delicious. Thanks to the Wayside Inn for an unforgettable turn of my century. Looking forward to checking out the Terrace Room next time.

Beautiful home and grounds! The atmosphere was very charming and the food was tremendous! Everything was just as advertised if not better and the extras from the massage to the gourmet coffee maker right outside our room were great!
5 out of 5Lovely, Quiet B & B
February 26, 2013
My husband and I had a wonderful time at The Wayside Inn B & B! David and Susan were charming hosts. The breakfast was the BEST we've ever had at a B & B, and we've stayed in almost all B & Bs in the Annapolis, MD area, as well as some in the nearby communities. The room was immaculate, the mattress was thick and comfortable, and the sheets were as soft as clouds. The fireplace and jacuzzi added the perfect touch to our romantic get away from the kids! Can't praise this B & B enough. The Inn is charming, and David and Susan are fantastic! Can't wait to return!
