Everything about the Swanendele Inn was exceptional: the location, the accommodations, the facilities, the decor, the hosts, and, not least, the breakfast. In fact, you could spend several days just exploring the remarkable antiques and artifacts around the place. However, what made the strongest impression was the fiery glow of dawn though the pine trees outside our balcony every morning in the Margeret Brent suite. Rhododaktylos, "The rosy-fingered dawn": I never understood the true meaning of that phrase until I saw that.

Wonderful B&B to stay when visiting SMCM

We loved the house and grounds. On the water. Beautiful view of the sunrise out our bedroom window. Innkeepers are world travelers and have many stories to share. We’ll have to go back to hear some more. 10-15 minute drive from SMCM. Wonderful alternative to the Fairfield, Home2 and Comfort Inn.

Very beautiful clean Inn

Very beautiful Inn. The rooms are very clean and quiet. There are lots of sitting areas on the property, and a pier that you can walk out on to view the bay. The breakfast was wonderful. There is a small bar downstairs, but we weren't sure if it was in operation. The check-in was a bit awkward. Hotels.com had listed that I would receive an email from the Inn within 5 days of my reservation. I never received an email from the Inn, so I emailed them and didn't hear back. I then called them and the mailbox was full. I located a different number on the Inns online reservations portal and was able to speak to one of the owners. When we arrived at the Inn, it was a bit confusing on checking in. There was a gentleman outside that told us to go on in. So, we did and didn't see anyone at first, then this lady approached us and told us her name but didn't say anything other that her name. We didn't know if she was a guest or if she was there to check us in.

Loved our stay at the Swanendale Inn

We had the best time at the Swanendele Inn! More like a bed a breakfast, we so enjoyed meeting the owners Gerry and Vicki who treated us like family. The property is very large and the rooms and bathrooms are very spacious. Super soft towels, comfortable bed, large balcony, super hot shower with tons of water pressure and central air conditioning! We really enjoyed breakfast which is served in a breakfast room overlooking the water with made to order eggs, homemade cinnamon and apple cake, fresh fruit and delicious coffee and juice. This area of Southern Maryland has some great new restaurants, tons of fishing options and St. Mary’s College is about 8 minutes away. The area around the Inn was so lush and beautiful, there is also a gorgeous public park with tennis courts and basketball courts less than 8 minutes away. We fell in love with the Swanendale Inn and the area and can’t wait to come back. Splurge on the larger rooms, we loved the Lord Calvert which has a jacuzzi tub for two. So nice to have an elevator too. The rooms look just like the pictures.
