Avalon Cliff Guesthouse-Go Green in Baltimore

Winner of the 2008 Heritage Preservation Award through Baltimore County Historic Trust! Only 8 minutes to Baltimore City, BWI airport and 35 minutes to Washington, DC. Ours is an historic, pet-friendly and green property! Visit our new Swim Spa! Built as a guest house from materials taken from the 18th century sailing ship, the Somerset, this comfortable retreat property offers two levels, (floors are wood and carpeting) a completely renovated kitchen, bath, great room, breakfast room, cozy 1st floor bedroom and 2nd floor loft (lots of space for kids) runs entire length of the house built from rare California Redwood. Look out from your front window to view an English formal garden and watch the sun set over the Patapsco River Valley. Numerous gardens surround the wooded 4 acre, very private property. Sit out on the back deck to see the woods and streams that run below. Truly a place to relax and renew.
