The Hill House Bed and Breakfast, a three-story Victorian
townhouse built around 1870, is located in the heart of
Frederick's historic district of Maryland. 
The home's original facade features Eastlake detailing, and
the home's interior emanates an historical ambience reflected
by period furniture, framed Civil War documents, and original
drawings, paintings, and crafts from the private collection of
innkeepers Damian and Taylor Branson.
This quaint Victorian includes three rooms, each with a
private, ceramic-tiled bathroom, as well as a deluxe suite
that includes a sitting room, bedroom, kitchen, and
ceramic-tiled bathroom.
Each room carries its own motif. The Victorian Room
includes a queen-sized canopied bed and features a chair that
belonged to Damian's mother as a child and a china doll that
belonged to Damian herself. The Chesapeake Room,
also with a queen-sized bed, is colorfully decorated in a
floral chintz with tiger maple furniture and features original
paintings of the Chesapeake Bay region. The room opens into a
furnished, second-floor gallery that overlooks the garden.
The Mexican Room features twin beds,
beautiful artwork, hand-painted furniture, and a uniquely
appointed bath. It too opens into the second-floor gallery.
The Steeple Suite provides the most scenic
view, though. It overlooks the famous Spire of Frederick and
effects a genteel look with colonial-style furniture and a
queen-sized canopy bed. Also available is a third-floor
apartment with queen bedroom, full kitchen, sitting room, and
bath for long-term rentals.
Damian, an experienced gourmet cook, serves up a
scrumptious breakfast of homemade biscuits, sausage, country
ham, bacon, french toast, grits, and home fries, along with
such seasonal delicacies as fried apples and green tomatoes.
The menu changes routinely, and to that end, Damian invites
guests to make special requests. |
After breakfast, take a stroll in nearby Baker Park. Also
within walking distance is a collection of antique shops and
fine restaurants, as well as several venues for live theater.
Other nearby points of interest include Hood College, the
Civil War Medical Museum, the Visitor's Center, the Historical
Society of Frederick, and the Delaplaine Visual Arts Center.
The Grapevine and Edward & Edward Blue Elephant Gallery
beckon as well; and for those who don't mind hopping in the
car, Camden Yards, home of Major League Baseball's Orioles, is
just down the road in Baltimore.
Damian and Taylor look forward to offering you "Hospitality
in our Maryland family tradition" at Hill House Bed and
Breakfast. |
