A nice stay!
I had an overall good experience at the wayside Inn. I just felt like it was dated and sort of disjointed. For example, a massage chair In the living room seemed very out of place. There was also some Christmas decorations still up That just seem to be forgotten and it is September. However, it was the most comfortable bed. I have slept iin a very long time! Joe was very nice and the end was special. I just think it would take not a lot of effort to make it seem more charming. I would still say again!

Lovely historical home Joe our host is very attentive and clearly cares about his property and guests. We saw deer early in the morning in the peaceful garden. Our room was very spacious with a living area. The home is cozy but could use a deep clean as we noticed a bit of dust on the decorations in our room but overall the property is kept well. Joe made a point to keep guests segregated during breakfasts as it seems people in that area are still keeping the Covid era alive. Disappointing as one reason to stay at a B&B is to meet new friends when traveling. Overall a nice experience.

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!

We stayed one night in the family suite. The home is so charming!! Our bed was incredibly comfortable and I slept like the dead. The breakfast was delicious, as well. Also appreciated the VIP comp of sparkling wine. I’d stay again.

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.

Comforts of a Bed & Breakfast
Nice change from staying in a hotel. Host was very friendly and historically informative. Breakfast offerings were very satisfying. Bed & room were very comfortable. If using stairs is of a concern, there is no elevator option.

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.
