    Inn Details

    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!

    We can't say enough about David and Susan. They were very friendly and helpful. They greeted us at the door before we could even open it. The breakfast was amazing, although I was a little disappointed that they didn't serve their famous baked grapefruit. I highly recommend staying at Wayside.

    David and Susan are always a blessing when we stay. Our son got us started and now we make it a yearly visit. Looking forward for our next stay.

    Found this B&B on the internet (seeking B&B within 50-75 miles) and, based on write-up, was very anxious to spend the night. Hospitality, ambiance, breakfast, and accommodations were absolutely superb. The innkeeper was both jovial and extremely well-versed on local history and highlights of greater geographic area.

    Charming, charming, charming! Loved the decor for Christmas, the cozy fireplace in our room, and the large whirlpool tub in the bathroom. Breakfast was scrumptious and had everything from fruit to an amazing egg casserole with six cheeses! The only con, the bathroom drawers were full of unfolded hand towels, shampoos and soaps, and mostly used toilet paper rolls. Not sure what was used and what wasn't...
