Linda, the owner, called before our trip to ask if we had any dietary restrictions for breakfast. She gave us a historical tour of the property when we arrived. She was so kind and knowledgeable. The house is so beautiful and well kept. It genuinely felt like being a guest in a friend's home. Also, her French toast with lemon cream is to die for. I am excited to stay here again the next time I am in Baltimore.

Each year we select a quality and elegant place to rest and reflect on God' goodness and favor to us His servants. This year Rachel's Dowry was our choice. The place is well kept and service from the InnKeeper Linda, along with the food choice and special kindness and secured premises made us feel special and honored. Rachel's Dowry is ranked among our topic pick for bed and breakfast. We celebrated our 40th Anniversary Dec 21, and we thank Linda for making it so special for us!

Impossible to say enough good things about this delightful gem of a place and the attentiveness of the owner, Linda. I felt like I was part of a little thread of history, and Linda's homemade scones and breakfasts with strong coffee and tea with (again!) homemade cookies made it hard to leave the inn, but I was also surprised at how much was going on in Baltimore! And the great restaurants - Peter's Inn, and the Thames Oyster restaurant were highlights. Fells Point a must.

First B&B Experience

This was our first B&B experience and we were a little hesitant at first, but we are so glad we decided to give it a try. Linda was a gracious and accommodating host. She was knowledgeable about the local area and the history of the home. She is also an excellent cook! So many nice little touches throughout the home. The accommodations were lovely, spacious, private and comfortable in the Virginia room. I enjoyed the view from my vintage bathtub with a glass of Moscato (liquor store next door was super convenient for making this happen) and the in room robe for relaxing in after. It was a short ride to the inner harbor for food and entertainment. My only complaint would be that the windows were a little drafty, but it is a well-preserved home built late 1700s after all, and the fireplace and space heater in the room solved that problem. Also, we stayed on the top floor so be prepared to climb some stairs - elevators didn't exist back then!

The best B&B experience in ages

This was the best B&B I've stayed at in a long, long time. Not only was the space beautifully and tastefully decorated, but it was clearly cared for and loved. There is a warmth to the entire property that makes one feel welcomed upon arrival, amplified only by the host's gentle attention. I could not have had a more enjoyable stay here and, honestly, I can't imagine staying anywhere else the next time I am in Baltimore. Enthusiastically and wholeheartedly recommend to all!

Rachel's Dowry is a wonderful place to stay if you're visiting Baltimore. It's a short walk to the Harbor and to many good restaurants and shopping. The house is brimming with warmth and charm and the owner, Linda, really loves what she does. You can see that in the delicious breakfast and all the homey touches throughout.
