Old Gratitude House Bed & Breakfast
Originally built in a Victorian style about 1900, on the Chesapeake Bay in what was then called Gratitude Point, the house was expanded in 1999 and a major modernization and upgrade in 2005 has created one of the finest bed & breakfasts on the Eastern Shore.
The owners, Sandy and Hank Mayer, are from Annapolis, where they owned and operated one of the most successful bed & breakfasts in the Historic District. In the Old Gratitude House they have created a relaxing, comfortable and elegant bed & breakfast that takes full advantage of the soothing water's edge, while also offering access to a variety of activities that will keep you busy.
