Swanendele Inn at St. Mary's Maryland

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.

Quite mixed. Lovely property and setting right on water. Very nice hosts though when I asked the man he said the fireplaces in room were shut off for season and he couldn’t control the unseasonably cold wether and the women walked with me to my room and turned up the thermostat in main area which indeed helped. Breakfast was customized and quite good. It would be nice to have afternoon snacks like fresh baked cookies or even something packaged. There was nothing. Also there is no housekeeping. They should point this out on website. Lastly, a huge pile of sheets and towels weee left outside our door for 24 hours I presume waiting to turn over the room next to us. Those should have been kept hidden. A little attention to a few details can turn this property into top notch!

Honestly was such a beautiful stay and location. me and my partner were trying to scheme ways to live there lol I am now trying to get my friends to come for the summer for a weekend get away. Will def be coming back.

The proprietors make every effort to ensure the satisfaction of the guest(s).

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.

This is a gorgeous inn. I highly recommend it. Beautiful location on the water.

Beautiful inn with attentive and welcoming staff.

I liked how homey it felt.

The inn was wonderful. The three-course breakfast was the best that I've ever had at any hotel. The owner was very friendly and talked us about their experience around the world. Every room in the hotel is decorated with beautiful paintings and artworks from all over the world. The garden is peaceful and beautiful. We had a great experience.

This was a wonderful Inn with beautiful views of the water, hospitable Inn Keepers and staff, and a delicious breakfast. Would highly recommend it!

Lovely setting... Great location, breathtaking water views, very tranquil and relaxing Friendly staff, beautifully furnished rooms, great attention to detail in everything Would happily stay again!
