Ellicott City Charmer
Our small family of three chose this as our home base to check out nearby colleges and to get acquainted for the first time with the quirky and historical town of Ellicott City. We nailed it! Christa and Eric’s clean and well equipped place couldn’t be more perfect to really feel the history and charm of the area. Each time we went into town for a meal, ghost tour, shopping, etc. we chose to do so by foot across the Patapsco River versus using our car. Far enough from the hustle and bustle, yet also so close. We’ll be back!

Great job restoring this charming old house/cottage. Perfect location to get out and about on foot. Be forewarned the grade is steep to enter the cottage and the bathroom is on the 3rd level so you will get your steps in. The hosts were easy to work with and their love and care for this gem was palpable which made it easy to relax and enjoy the time with friends. I would stay again and recommend it to anyone interested in exploring this historical area.

Host profile image
Originally from Pittsburgh, we have been in the Baltimore / Howard County area for years raising two wonderful children. We bought this place in 2020 and worked hard to save it from ruin as it was just an empty shell. We restored the cottage in a historically sensitive way allowing for modern conveniences.

Why they chose this property

The history and proximity to the river and Old Ellicott City were irresistible for us.

What makes this property unique

In the heart of Maryland, Old Ellicott City calls with its rich offerings that blend history and modern charm. Its streets are lined with an array of eclectic shops, inviting art and shopping galleries, and vibrant venues, while a calendar bursting with events ensures there's always something exciting to experience. For those seeking a thrill, the town's haunted history adds an eerie allure, complemented by spirited pub crawls.

Nature enthusiasts find solace in the surrounding valley, offering exhilarating mountain biking trails and the serene Trolley Trail #9 for the less adventuresome. As you venture further, the sprawling Patapsco River unveils 32 miles of exploration for avid mountain bikers and curious explorers alike, with every house booking contributing 5% to the preservation efforts of Friends of Patapsco State Park.

Culinary adventures are equally abundant, ranging from the delectable offerings at Phoenix Emporium (best burger in town). Umi Sushi (best lunch special in town), La Palapa (spicy margaritas), Georgia Grace (breakfast and breakfast cocktails), Manor Hill (brew pub specializing in Holy Smoke pizza and Bird is the Word sandwich), Ellicott City Distillery (go with the vodka), to the enchanting Wine Bin for Sunday movie nights, craft beer and artisan cheeses. The Judges Bench offers a haven for beer enthusiasts and live music aficionados, while the Cozy Cafe's "Special" coffee warms the soul. Just steps away from our place are the Old Mill Cafe and the Trolley Stop. A leisurely stroll along the trolley trail unveils the inviting aroma of daily-baked pastries at The Breadery, while the historic B&O railway station provides a captivating window into the town's past. Indulgence awaits at Crazy Mason and Park Ridge Creamery, two must-visit spots for irresistible ice cream.
