WELCOME TO THE PARSONAGE INN


The Parsonage inn, circa 1883, is located at 210 North Talbot Street at the NW end of the National Historic District of St. Michaels, Maryland.  When the National Historic District was established in 1972, this building was described by Paul Touart; "one of St. Michaels most extravagant examples of late nineteenth-century domestic architecture."   It features extensive brick detailing, especially in the paneled  brick chimneys.  It was built by Henry Clay Dodson around 1883, and was later known as the Dr. Joseph Seth House, as he had married Dodson's daughter.  In 1924, Dr Seth sold this house to the Union United Methodist Church where it served as "the Parsonage" until the Workman family purchased it in 1985, and converted it to a Bed & Breakfast Inn.  We invite you to stay with us to enjoy an historic inn plus all that our charming town and historic area has to offer.

In recent years, the town has become a destination for boaters and travelers in the Mid-Atlantic area.  The Parsonage Inn has an onsite innkeeper and is known for its gracious hospitality, delicious breakfasts, in-town location, free 8-Speed touring bikes, cable TV, great WiFi, on-site parking, plus access to the outdoor inground swimming pool at The George Brooks House (summer months).

Call us directly at 1-410-819-9828 or book through this website to ensure the lowest room rates.  Check out our mid-week Specials for even greater value!  If you use a 3rd party booking site, you will see higher prices and less flexibility should you need to cancel.  When comparing our inn to other inns or hotels in this area, note that our rates include a FULL breakfast (considered the best in this area), with no resort or other "extra"  fees.  Note that the Maryland Sales Tax is 6% and the local lodging tax 4% - 10% total (Beware of higher "tax rates").

two blocks from the harbor


The Parsonage Inn is across from the entrance to the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum parking lot. We are just a few short blocks from most of the restaurants and shops in town. You can borrow our bikes to explore the town or this area.  You can rent a paddle board or kayak to explore the harbor or the more pristine wetlands of San Domingo Creek to the west of the town.  Check with us on boating adventures and bike trips including the town's nature trail and the 8 mile run to catch the Bellevue ferry to the quaint, historic village of Oxford.

We enjoyed a wonderful, relaxed stay here for an extended weekend. Excellent location that is walkable to everything in town with cruising bikes available on-site for longer trips. The multi-course hot breakfast was delicious and our room clean and well-appointed with all the comforts. We would stay here again!
