Wilson House Bed and Breakfast

A wonderful bed and breakfast. Great location. Fascinating hosts. Guy Thomas is a real character, naval officer and opera singer. Wife clelia is Peruvian. Great value. Less money than a hotel and a lot more fun

We stayed in the Aviary Room and it was a wonderful experience. The house has so much history and character. They offer an elegant breakfast with great conversation.

Huge antique house that is kept extremely clean. Barely a speck of dust anywhere. Good sized room with authentic décor. Owner and wife are so nice you could talk to them for hours. Breakfast was outstanding. Pancakes made from scratch and are honestly some of the best I’ve had. Coffee was very good as well. To sum it up; it was a perfect bed and breakfast that is cheaper than the hotels in the area and right near the belvedere (housing 2 of the best pre-​prohibition bars I’ve ever been to). Room suggestion: Apartment Bedroom. While it is on the first floor I actually preferred it because it was the most secluded area in the house. Very quiet and spacious. Also much easier if you are going in and out at night. Normally I do not like first floors at all, but being secluded was a huge bonus.

Guy and his wife were amazing! He had wonderful stories about the home and was very gracious to us. I recommend this B&B!!!

My husband and I were lucky to find this beautiful B&B for an impromptu over night stay in the Baltimore area. We stayed in the purple room, and were more than taken care of. The place itself is gorgeous. Guy and Clelia, the owners, are incredibly nice, knowledgeable, and very helpful. We will be recommending the Wilson House B&B to everyone we know visiting the Baltimore area.

Wilson House is a charming old house that has been fixed up by its hosts. The rooms are spacious and the beds are very comfortable.
There were a few things that made our stay less than ideal. Although the house is near a busy highway, which has noisy traffic until late at night, we couldn’t hear it because of the air conditioner, which was terribly loud. We couldn’t see out of the windows because the window coverings covered most of each window, and couldn’t be opened. The WiFi was spotty, and since I needed to do some work when I was there I ended up going downstairs to the dining room to get consistent WiFi response. The only breakfast we ate there was just granola, waffles and fruit, and left us hungry.
It’s a nice place, but it’s not up to the standards of most of the bed and breakfasts we’ve stayed at.

We stayed here for one evening for JHU graduation — it was beautiful! We stayed in the Purple Room and the Wilson Room — both were great with separate bathrooms. The location was ideal, it was just a few minutes from campus and just a few minutes from downtown Baltimore!

We loved this place! Reminded my husband and I of childhood visits we made to our elderly relatives. It’s in an odd place — Reservoir Hill-​Bolton Hill north of Mt Vernon and the University of Baltimore. We had dinner in Federal Hill and went to a jazz club in Fells Point and all were just a few minutes away by car — easy to get to. This house is very historic and full of the most interesting antiques and things from all around the world. Our host was warm and welcoming, the food was great, it was quiet and we were plenty cool on a day that got to 104 degrees in Baltimore! I’m sure we will come here again.

I stayed in the apartment room on the first floor. The home is beautiful, clean and my room was comfortable. The innkeepers were very friendly, knowledgeable about the area and went out of their way to make it a great stay. Not to mention, breakfast was delicious!

This was our first experience in a bed and breakfast. We stayed in the Wilson Room, which was very spacious for two people. In terms of tidiness, the room and bathroom were impeccable. I would even say it was better than a hotel room because of its charm. I’ve stayed in hotels that have been much less clean than the Wilson.
On top of that, the fact that the B&B was by the freeway did not bother us; we barely got any noise from it. The two nights we stayed there, the temperature outdoors was 90 F; thankfully the AC worked really well.
However, the best part about the Wilson is Clelia and Guy: they could not have been more hospitable. Clelia makes you a beautiful and scrumptious breakfast every morning. My friend and I had our bicycles with us, and at the end of each day, she kindly opened the gate in the back garden for us to store our bikes there over night. On top of that, we had to check in early and check out late due to our bus times. They were nice enough to let us keep our belongings at the house before and after our check in/​out times to facilitate our day out biking.
I’m giving this place five stars because there isn’t anything that I can think of that was problematic: every part of my experience was enjoyable.

I had my first B&B experience at the Wilson House Halloween weekend. The owners Guy and Clelia were kind and accomodating. The house was absolutely amazing with hidden nooks and unique items everywhere you looked. There are a number a different rooms to stay. We stayed in the Peach Room which we were told is the most private. Clelia accomodated my food allergies by avoiding eggs and making gluten free waffles specifically for me. I enjoyed eating at the communal breakfast table and conversing with the other guests while guy made sure our orange juice, water and coffee were always filled. Close to all the Baltimore sights, I definately plan to stay in this historic cozy home the next time I’m visiting Bmore!

Jewel tucked away in Baltimore–
I recently had a few days in the Wilson House with my lady. I can’t say enough about the house. Photos simply don’t do it justice.
The Wilson house is named after Woodrow Wilson, who gave a speech there after gaining the office of President. He had a lot of his deals conducted there, which ultimately led him to that office.
The décor is marvelous, and i can think of no better word. The woodwork was lovingly restored, and everything says Victorian-​from the China that breakfast is served on-​complimentary and hot-​to the chairs in the various common areas. The entire house is gorgeous. The owners obviously took a lot of time and effort to maintain its splendor, while adding unique character to it that informs the occupant of their backgrounds as well as their travels around the world.
The room, as I mentioned, was wonderful. Period all the way with some accented paintings which again inform of the owner’s proclivities, and a footed bathtub. It was a bathtub. With feet. How great is that? Everything about the room was nice.
We stayed in the Purple Room, which was really spacious and if I recall, the smallest room with a private bath.
The pricing was reasonable for a bed and breakfast-I’ve seen more expensive ones elsewhere.
We were greeted by the hostess upon arriving, who asked when we’d have breakfast. They also serve tea as well as wine and cheese, but it seemed the hostess was gone in the afternoon and evening for one of the days, which is fine.
Breakfast was quite the display. The table sits in the middle of the dining room, with wonderful period art and a China cabinet full of service for a full table, if not more. Instead of the usual cold bagel with cream cheese or butter, or a yogurt we were treated to a platter of fresh fruit, orange juice, coffee (usual staples of a bed and breakfast), and a hot meal. The first morning was whole wheat pancakes in little hearts with syrup, the second morning was eggs (whatever style we liked) with toast, home fries and a strip of bacon.
I can’t imagine staying at such a lovely place again soon, but I can say that if I do end up in Baltimore with the time and money to do so-​Wilson House is where you’ll find me.

Had a lovely stay at this historic bed & breakfast in Baltimore last weekend. The prices are moderate, but the stay is a great value.
You’re staying in a historic and beautifully restored 40-​room mansion filled with antiques and period furnishings. I’ve never stayed in such a beautiful home! The bathroom and other appointments are modern. The host is warm and helpful, there are plenty of maps and guidebooks. There’s free wifi and even access to a computer when my netbook’s battery ran out. The complimentary breakfast (pancakes, fruit, yogurt, coffee and juice — and they also take requests) was excellent. They also serve tea in the afternoon and wine and cheese in the early evening but we were always out sightseeing!
We had a car but I was told it’s just a few minutes away from a metro stop, and it’s near enough some great neighborhoods, such as Baltimore’s arts center.
The only negatives that keep this from getting an unequivocable 5 stars is that there’s a freeway nearby so there’s some white noise, which we could barely hear through the closed windows (it was winter), but if you’re a light sleeper who likes sleeping with the windows open you should request a room on the back side. And, as you might expect in a large older house, the water pressure made it a little difficult dialing in the perfect temperature in the shower in our bathroom up on the third floor — and the bathtub’s a little on the small side.
But I would happily stay there again when I return to Baltimore!
