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.

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.

A nice comfy getaway in Ellicott City
We enjoyed our brief 1-day stay at the Wayside Inn in Ellicott City, MD. Joe the Innkeeper was gracious, welcoming, and attentive and offered insights regarding the history of the B&B and prior owners who essentially established the inn. The features of the inn were consistent with many online reviews. Our room, the Pierpoint deluxe suite, was specious and comfortable. A really nice poster bed and great shower. The views were also nice. Wish it had been winter and we could have used the fireplace. As noted in other reviews, the floors were extremely squeaky, though to be expected from a historic building. Staircase could be a little tricky for older guests, though we were fine. Breakfast was quite tasty and Joe was proud of his culinary skills. It would have been great if more tea choices were available, and other amenities like espresso. Entrance and front and backyards could benefit from maintenance to remove overgrown flora and enhance the beauty of the property. Lastly, wishing that the owner had more branded mugs in stock (like other B&Bs we have stayed at) so that we could have purchased as a keepsake and helped promote his brand… Thanks to Joe for his hospitality!

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.

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.
