Wayside Inn Bed and Breakfast

A Peaceful Hideaway Minutes from Baltimore's Buzz

Modern comfort meets historic charm at Wayside Inn Bed and Breakfast, nestled in the scenic town of Ellicott City. This cozy B&B is just 14 miles from downtown Baltimore and a short drive to top venues, museums, and nightlife—perfect for music fans who want a relaxing base after a high-energy night out.

Why Concert-goers love it

Guests love the inn’s quiet, restful atmosphere after catching a show in Baltimore. Being just a 20–30 minute drive from venues like Baltimore Penn Station and The Walters Art Museum area, it’s close enough to the action without the late-night city noise. With free private parking and easy highway access, grabbing a late Lyft or Uber back is hassle-free. The 4 PM check-in also gives you time to settle in before heading out, and the 11 AM check-out is just right for a slow morning after a late night.

Food and Drink Options

While there’s no on-site restaurant, the inn is a short drive from Ellicott City’s local dining gems. Breakfast is included and served late enough for those who sleep in after a show. While there’s no 24/7 room service, the charming hosts are known for their warm hospitality and personalized recommendations for nearby eats.

Nightlife Options

Though the inn itself doesn’t offer live music or a bar, you’re within easy driving distance of Baltimore’s vibrant nightlife—including bars, lounges, and late-night music spots. Or opt for a chill night on the sun terrace or in the garden under the stars.

What People Say

Guests consistently praise the quiet, homey atmosphere, super comfy beds, and welcoming hosts. The location earns high marks for being close enough to downtown Baltimore without the noise or parking headaches. The free WiFi and spotless rooms also get rave reviews.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests note that it’s not walkable to restaurants or venues, so having a car or ride-share app is a must. Also, since it's a traditional B&B, those expecting hotel-style amenities like a bar or gym may find it a bit too low-key.

The Bottom Line

Wayside Inn Bed and Breakfast is a perfect pick for concert-goers who want a restful, charming stay outside the bustle—close enough to enjoy the show, far enough to relax after.
