| Nestled within the National Historic District and the charming colonial seaport of St. Michaels, Maryland-this unique brick Victorian (circa 1883) is within several blocks of the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum and many fine restaurants, shops and the harbor. Awarded three stars by Mobil and two diamonds by AAA, this Inn has achieved high occupancy due to its ideal location, decor, hospitality, full gourmet breakfasts and fair prices.
This Victorian was built as a "show house" by the owner of the local St. Michaels Brickyard in 1883 and has a remarkable array of brick inlays and detailing along with Eastlake-style gingerbread trim on the porches. In 1924 it was transferred to the Union Methodist Church to serve as the Parsonage for over 60 years until Willard Workman of Swathmore, PA and his oldest son restored the building in 1985 while converting it to an 8 room B&B with private baths plus parlor and dining room for the guests.
All rooms are furnished with Queen Anne reproductions, custom brass beds, 600 thread count linens, Waverly bedding and window treatments with bathrooms offering shell pedestal sink, toilet, and tiled shower stalls. Two bedrooms and the parlor have fireplaces. Two rooms have TV, one has DVD player.
Guests can enjoy the front porch, deck, and TV/DVD in the parlor. Share tales of yesterday's adventures in St. Michaels over breakfast in the dining room. The Parsonage Inn's signature breakfasts are created by a Professioal Chef and may include Basque Eggs, Lemon Ricotta Pancakes, Creamed Eggs with Crab and Asparagus or Monte Cristo French Toast. All are served with the best fruit, fresh baked sweet breads, coffee, and more.
Guests can use the Inn's bikes to tour the area or ride over to the nation's oldest ferry service (c. 1683) at Bellevue and cross the beautiful Tred Avon river to Oxford, another charming colonial seaport. Many special events are held at the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum across the street and over on the harbor, or out at Tilghman Island, Easton or Oxford.
