About this property

Lancaster House-Restored Circa 1795 Townhouse in Fell's Point

Lancaster House is in the heart of Baltimore's vibrant Fell's Point historic district. While retaining the charm of a 200-plus-year-old home, this three-story townhouse has been completely updated with modern amenities. Materials include oak, slate, and ceramic flooring, Baldwin brass hardware, stainless-steel counters, Williamsburg paints, and custom cabinetry. Includes eat-in kitchen with cathedral ceiling and skylight, loft overlooking kitchen, private enclosed courtyard with dining area and gas grill, ceramic-tiled bath with glass block shower, spiral staircase, and lots of charm.

The National Register Historic District of Fell's Point is an exciting maritime community with many diligently-restored, 18th- and 19th-century buildings. The cobblestone streets are alive with restaurants, taverns, theaters, art galleries, antique and vintage clothing shops, and other unique establishments. Plus, it is just a short walk or water taxi ride to the many attractions of Baltimore's famous Inner Harbor, and Little Italy's numerous restaurants.

Fell's Point is the ideal location for exploring the National Aquarium in Baltimore, the Maryland Science Center, Harborplace, ESPN Zone, Federal Hill, Fort McHenry, Oriole Park at Camden Yards, Ravens Stadium, etc. Also, Washington, DC is just one hour away and New York City is three hours north.

NOTE: Several previous guests have mentioned in their reviews that we gave them complimentary water taxi passes. We regret that we are no longer able to provide this amenity. The water taxi company changed hands and the new owners no longer offer transferrable annual passes. The new policy requires annual passes to be imprinted with the holder's name, and only that person is allowed to use the pass.

Great location in fun historic neighborhood
The house is a short walk to some great bars, restaurants, shops, and other attractions. Highly recommend staying here if you want to check out one of Baltimore's best neighborhoods. Never needed a car my entire stay and never ran out of things to do.

Historic home in a great location.
This is a wonderful, quirky historic home in a great location. It is in easy walking distance to many restaurants and the water taxi, all of which we took full advantage. Richard has presented the history of the building in photos on the wall, to the point we wanted to meet him and get more information. He is a delightful host, and can certainly give you the run down on the history of the area. It is a terrific location and we hope to return, thank you Richard.

Great location. Close to a lot of fun activities.
My friends came in from Atlanta. We all loved the house. Very historic and old-time cozy. We went to the Braves at O's game and Fleet Week was happening. That was a nice bonus we did not know about when plannng. The house had everything for a long stay. Communication with Richard (the owner) was good. I recommend the place for a rental. You will not be disappointed.

Great Place
This is not our first visit to the Lancaster house, And once again we were not disappointed! Its right in the heart of Fells Point close to all the action. The spiral staircase makes it interesting at times but other than that it's the ideal place if you love all Fells point and Canton have to offer.

While there are a few issues with this property, the location and charm/history makes it worth while. The shower needs some repairs, but is usable. We really enjoyed our stay.

Great location in the heart of Fell's Point, one block from the inner harbor, close to so much great food, and great way to explore inner Baltimore. Beautiful historic row house with lots of room, as long as you're up for stairs and ready to (occasionally) hunt for parking! Highly recommended!
