Summer stay

Updated large shower with many jets was fantastic, bed was comfy, area was quiet and we appreciated home cooked breakfast by Joe. Very convenient to Columbia as well as Ellicott City old town.

A wonderful old house that has become a B&B. We had our own private bath, even showering in a claw-foot tub! We concluded our stay with a fabulous breakfast.

This was our third stay at the Wayside Inn and we have had a wonderful experience each time. The owner, Joe, pays attention to detail, reviews breakfast menu options for your stay upon arrival, and is available for any questions. We highly recommend Wayside Inn, and look forward to your next visit.

Perfect weekend getaway!

Lovely weekend stay! Host was very friendly, bedroom was perfect for sleeping (comfy bed, quiet, and dark), bathroom was airy and spacious, and the gourmet breakfast was outstanding. Would definitely stay here again!

We stayed one night in the family suite. The home is so charming!! Our bed was incredibly comfortable and I slept like the dead. The breakfast was delicious, as well. Also appreciated the VIP comp of sparkling wine. I’d stay again.

Room and bathroom were perfect and comfortable. Breakfast was the best I can recall I have ever had in a hotel. Wonderfully prepared meal in a serene dining area overlooking a pond. Highly recommend.

Joe was a wonderful host. It was a beautiful place with lots of history, cozy and great breakfast! We will be back.
Sean, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Wayside Inn in Ellicott City, MD is a beautiful 18th century home. The owner / host is great. We stayed on the third floor. Even though it is very close to a freeway, we were not bothered by any noise. The food was delicious. Our group of three had a small separate dining room to ourselves. The home is charming and full of period pieces, but bathrooms have been modernized and the beds were very comfortable. This was much more fun than being in a hotel. Definitely worth checking out.

Well worth the getaway. Joe was engaging and provided a beautifully presented and delicious breakfast. Looking forward to a return engagement!

8/10 Very good

Quaint little B&B. Breakfast was delicious, room was a good size, parking was easy, and host was great. It's an older property and had older (1980's?) soft furniture (couches) which made the whole place smell a bit like my grandmothers house. I was surprised that in early Oct that there wasn't a place to sit. It looked like the outside are was shut down for the season.
Sarah, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The Way Side Inn is a fantastic place to stay. Joe is such an engaged innkeeper. He was attentive and spent time chatting during our delicious breakfast. The bed was so comfy. The shower was very nice. We loved seeing the huge oak tree. Joe was happy to fill us in on the history of the inn. We felt safe and like we had stepped back in time to a slower time.
Vivian, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Lovely historical home Joe our host is very attentive and clearly cares about his property and guests. We saw deer early in the morning in the peaceful garden. Our room was very spacious with a living area. The home is cozy but could use a deep clean as we noticed a bit of dust on the decorations in our room but overall the property is kept well. Joe made a point to keep guests segregated during breakfasts as it seems people in that area are still keeping the Covid era alive. Disappointing as one reason to stay at a B&B is to meet new friends when traveling. Overall a nice experience.

Charming Historic Stay

Got in very late (1am) and Joe was super accommodating! We slept well in the comfortable bed on the 3rd Fl (Betty’s room). This B&B is so charming, I think it’s from 1790! The next day we explored Old Elicott Coty and went to a show at Post Merriweather Pavillion. The breakfast the next day was delicious and huge! Joe gave us some history and it was fun hearing his story! Would def stay again! No elevators for those who can’t do stairs just an FYI.

8/10 Very good

A nice stay!

I had an overall good experience at the wayside Inn. I just felt like it was dated and sort of disjointed. For example, a massage chair In the living room seemed very out of place. There was also some Christmas decorations still up That just seem to be forgotten and it is September. However, it was the most comfortable bed. I have slept iin a very long time! Joe was very nice and the end was special. I just think it would take not a lot of effort to make it seem more charming. I would still say again!
