This was our first bed amd breakfast and it did not disappoint. A surprise trip for my wife definitely resulted in us planning our next trip there. The host were so welcoming and accommodating, not to mentioned the breakfast we had there was absolutely amazing.

Shelley was an amazing host - went above and beyond to make our stay wonderful. The property is perfectly situated to walk around St. Michael's or ride their bikes like we did, without being smack dab in the middle of the hubbub. Like all of St. Michael's, it is pricey for what you get but that is understood when you book. It is time for a facelift in the rooms but being in this business too - we understand that it is hard to find time to do that when you are as obviously as busy as they are. Loved the BnB experience of sitting around the breakfast table meeting and talking to the other guests. Always a treat.

Quaint historic property located near everything you would want to see. It comes with its own bikes so you can ride the bike trail nearby. Breakfast was delish. Only concern is that the shades didn't completely cover the windows in our room and bathroom, so we had to drape a towel over them.

Thank you for your review! We feature Breezer 8 speed touring bikes - high quality with comfortable handle bar and wide seats - perfect for most of us average bike riders! Our historic inn has beautiful wood blinds - they provide excellent privacy although the sides allow some light in at an angle - no one outside could see into the room.

Of course this is a disappointing score and we can only hope that future guests will question it and realize it is out of line as we pride ourselves in the very best guest service, food, and anticipation of your needs. The property is freshly painted with new beds and linens. Guests are provided with my cell phone number and asked to let me know if they are uncomfortable or have needs that I can take care of while they are at the Parsonage. A review score without any feedback is impossible to address and I did not hear from the guest while they were here.

Liked: Manager Liz was amazing- very gracious, made us feel welcome. Amazing chef- our breakfast was superb! Disliked: We were in Room 1 on ground floor- facing the street. Room was very cozy and bed was great, but room was noisy from street traffic all day and night. Shower was ok but room and bathroom showed their age- many missing tiles in bathroom. Fireplace was great. If we return we will ask for a room upstairs not facing the busy street.

Don’t waste your money there are plenty of other options in this town. Not sure why this place got such good reviews. The property was run down and dirty with peeling paint and wall paper. There was no air conditioning and it was hot and stuffy. The breakfast area was cramped and uninviting. (Definitely not COVID safe) The table outside our room on the patio had an old bottle of weed killer on it the whole time we were there. There was really no hospitality other than some phone calls. We were directed to go up the stairs to our room by the only person we spoke to and she didn’t tell us the stairs were outside! The stairs were rickety and looked to be about to fall down. The property outside had storage areas under the stairs that were full of junk and the closet in our room was full of stuff too. Not sure why? Not enough space ? We were supposed to have an additional bunk room according to Expedia and the management told us that would be 40$ extra. Needless to say we did not partake of the “breakfast.” One day they were kind enough to provide a continental breakfast but it was 4 tiny scones? that looked inedible. When I did go in the main house there was someone in the dining room eating -this felt like I was in someone else’s home instead of a bed and breakfast. Very strange. The one good thing is they had bottled water to refill our water bottles and bags of ice. Their idea of cookies awaiting you when you arrive was sad and pitiful. Not anything that I expected.

The Inn has a great location. The room was very large and comfortable (King sized bed!). There was coffee available 24/7 and there was even a fresh-baked cake when we arrived. The breakfast and fresh hot coffee were scrumptious. Julia gave us some tips on eating (Limoncello is worth every penny) and touring the town. Only comment that isn’t entirely positive is that it was almost too warm at night, which may be a positive to others. I grew up in a Victorian home, so I know heating well is tough to do.😀 Overall, a great bed and breakfast.

Thank you "Anonymous" - glad we exceeded your expectations in most respects! As an old house, we have four zones or heat pumps - temp is set to 72F in a zone but temp can vary somewhat between rooms. Some like it warmer - some like it colder - some like it "just right" - kinda like the tale of Goldilocks! Julia loves to "wow you" at breakfast and pointing you in the right direction for restaurants, etc. Hope to see you again - Will Workman, Owner

Thank you for posting a review. Our Inn dates back to 1883 when the owner, Henry Clay Dodson, decided to build a showplace for brick constructions. Henry Clay had established the "St. Michaels brickyard back in 1877 following two devastating fires in August of 1870 and August of 1872 that destroyed over half of the town's buildings. We try to keep the decor and presentation of our inn to reflect the Victorian era with excellent customer service.

The building itself was gorgeous inside and out. It felt like you were time traveling to the Victorian era. There is an illusion sighting of a woman in white spirit. I didn’t see her but I felt her presence. The inn owner is hospitable and full of information. He gave great tips on where to eat and what to check out in town. Overall fantastic experience and I will recommend this inn to everyone I know.

This guest loved the history and unique architecture of this circa 1883 brick Victorian. She was intrigued by the reported sighting of a woman in a white dress at the top of the stairs close to her room. We take special care of the new visitors to our town to acquaint them with the restaurants and other attractions.
