Need recomendations for Virginia/Maryland area Country Inns and Bed and Breakfasts.?

Question

Need recomendations for Virginia/Maryland area Country Inns and Bed and Breakfasts.
I'm open to any suggestions the area should have some local culture, like small museums or galleries, maybe some play theaters etc. I choose Virginia/Maryland, I'm really looking for 4-5 hour South/Southeast drive from New York City.

If the inn has a web site, that would be very helpful!

Answer 1

You say you only want to be about 4-5 hours south from New York....then you'll be looking into Northern Maryland. Traffic any further below Baltimore will remind you of New York. You'll be doing about 10 miles an hour or so. I live in West Baltimore County and drive to New York often.

Let me recommend the following:

I live near here....BEAUTIFUL!

Now, to be close to all of Baltimore's Art but just a train ride south to DC/VA, I recommend the following:

Inner Harbor Bed and Breakfast Baltimore
1 E Montgomery St
Baltimore, MD 21230

Where ever you go, I do hope you enjoy yourself and get plenty of R&R!

Answer 2

Go to www.innvirginia.com which is the website for the Bed and Breakfast Association of Virgina.

There is also Bed and Breakfast Online. www.bedandbreakfastonline.com

and Worldwide Bed and Breakfast Directory www.bedandbreakfastcenter.com

Those are 3 of my favorite sites to search for bed and breakfasts. Especially the first one--nearly all the bed and breakfasts have websites, nearly all offer virtual tours.

Really VA is so huge you have to limit yourself first. Thinking of skiing at Wintergreen? touring the extensive wineries? Just like NC, there is a world of difference from the mountains which relaxation, snow and quaint lil towns to Virgina Beach--there is just really so much to do.

www.virginia.org will help you get some ideas of all the things you might be interested in.

Of course the VA/Maryland area could allow you to just spend the whole time in DC (though I'd avoid that--if you are leaving NYC you need some rest out of a city)
