Steps to Main St at Historic Carriage House in the Heart of Downtown Annapolis

Visit the magic of Annapolis during the Holiday Season
Originally built in 1857, this fully-restored home has a rich history that's been documented from it's original purpose as a Horse Barn and later became a popular hotel, due to its location in the center of the City, along with the neighboring townhouses on the block. As part of the larger City Hotel complex, this row house block is a rare example of early 19th century commercial domestic architecture which retains a high degree of integrity and contributes significantly to the pivotal intersection of Duke of Gloucester and Conduit streets. In 1900 the rowhouse block was sold independently in 1903 to Weems and Grafton D. Ridout, in whose family the building remained until the mid twentieth century.

When entering the home, you will be greeted by both the historic charm and all of the upgraded amenities that make for a modern experience. Walk through the impeccably-decorated living and dining rooms into the stunning kitchen with all stainless steel appliance and beautiful granite kitchen counters. Even the breakfast bar seating is an example of the owners' attention to beautiful decor. Head out the glass door in the kitchen to the private fenced-in back patio with lounge chairs and a BBQ. Also on the main floor is a European-inspired full bath with a small stand-up shower.

Upstairs are 2 bedrooms and 1 full bath, the 2nd full bath is located on the first floor (and is a small European-style bath). There's a King bed in the Main bedroom, a Queen in the guest room and the sofa in the Den that pulls out to a full bed. There's also a flatscreen TV and sunny desk space in the Den.

Walk Score 100 - When you're ready to explore Annapolis, you are just 1/2 a block to the shops and restaurants on Main Street, 2 blocks to the waterfront and 3 blocks to the Naval Academy! While the home does not have dedicated parking, it is conveniently located, via walkway, to the Hillman garage.

Great location
If you want to wander downtown to shops and restaurants and bars, this is a prime location to all. Also right next to the parking garage which was extremely convenient. Overall, a great place to stay. Beds were ultra comfy and shower pressure was amazing. Thank you for offering all the amenities one could want.

Fantastic house in Annapolis
We loved our stay! The house is gorgeous and charming and located right in the middle of historic Annapolis. I would certainly recommend. Instructions and responsiveness of host were clear and prompt. The only issue we ran into was some ants in the kitchen; and our host quickly helped resolve by providing traps, which was much appreciated. This is an awesome vrbo!

Perfect Location, Not a True 2 Bath
Loved our stay here. The location was perfection for all USNA Reunion events! The one thing I think the listing should be MUCH more clear about is the downstairs “European style” bathroom. This is actually only mentioned in the caption of one photo. What should be made more clear is it’s a “wet bath”—similar to what you’d find in a small travel trailer. In other words, the shower is not separate from the toilet/sink and the drain is in the floor. Our group opted to only use the upstairs shower, which made things a bit tricky when everyone was getting ready for an event, but we made it work.

I feel like this place deserves more than 5 stars: the place was immaculate, beautifully yet comfortably furnished, steps away from main street and just perfect for a quick weekend away with friends. All communication was smooth and easy. My only regret is that I didn't get a chance to try out the super cool shower room on the first level. If/when we go back, we're definitely staying here!

This property was perfect in every way. The location could not be better. It is close to everything we wanted to do. The interior is very clean and very well decorated. The attention to the needs of their guests is obvious. Our questions were either answered in the materials we received or very quickly by management. It is very close to all the “action” but still is very quite and relaxing. Would recommend and would stay again!

Excellent stay! We rented the home for a memorial service that was local to Annapolis, and it was perfect. The property was in great shape and the location was very convenient to downtown. We walked all around Annapolis and made a trip to DC to see the national zoo and monuments. The porch out front was the perfect place to relax with a coffee and "people watch". If we ever have the need to come back we will rent again!

Perfect Location in Annapolis
Our stay in Annapolis was excellent! The house is so charming, and very well maintained and appointed. Just a great location too, a block off of Main Street, close to USNA and downtown Annapolis. The listing indicates the property sleeps six, but it would be tight for six adults (we had five in our party), as the pull-out couch is small. Also finding on-street parking is a bit of a hassle, but not unusual in downtown Annapolis as street parking is limited. We were able to secure a parking pass though and property manager communication on that was terrific. Overall a great experience!
