This classic hotel, in near-constant service since the 19th Century, is a pleasant place to rest after a busy day. It is near the riverfront walk, and the town of Rising Sun is a calm place to spend some time. Just outside of town is a wolf refuge that is well worth the time to visit, and the drive along the river from and to the Interstate is beautiful. When the owner saw that we were all one family, she moved us from our two rooms into a three-room suite at no additional charge, which we greatly appreciated.

Absolutely adorable historical guesthouse. The hostess was very helpful pointing out restaurants nearby and showing off the history of the hotel. The only thing I would change is to reduce the number of "plug-ins" as the scent was a little overpowering. We unplugged the one in our room and opened the window for a while, making it more to our liking. I would definitely stay here again.

Beautiful old inn at a great price

Very friendly, the room was clean and the bed was comfortable. The room was reminiscent of your grandma's house, but with modern amenities. We had a beautiful view of the river. The town is really pretty, with several places to eat within a very short walk. The Kings Landing bar and grill had fantastic burgers. We were in the area for a toy show, but will definitely be back with friends soon.
