Circa 1868. Johns Hopkins family built this Second Empire Victorian-style home located in the canal town's historic district. The decor is reminiscent of eclectic post-Civil War. The parlor features a domed recessed alcove, bay window and fireplace. Strauss crystal chandeliers, Ronald Redding wallpapers and local artworks are found throughout the inn. Eastlake furnishings and antiques fill exquisite guest bedrooms. An all-you-can-eat breakfast includes traditional fare served in the Provence breakfast room. Stroll the brick-walled secret boxwood garden with wrought iron gates, relax on the flagstone terrace, or enjoy the river view.

Wow! That was the first thought I had when my wife and I first came down for breakfast. Breakfast was fantastic. The place is beautiful, meticulous, and full of gorgeous antiques; and Ron is such an amazing host. He literally thinks of everything (you'll see what I mean once you're there). We've been to a few B & B's, and most were nice, but this has been the best place so far.
