The Old Gratitude House Bed & Breakfast offers you the choice of four beautifully decorated comfortable guest rooms and suites with private decks facing onto the Chesapeake Bay. A fifth smaller room, the Navy Blue & Gold, is available for a third person in your party or someone traveling alone. The house is fully air conditioned, and all rooms have private baths, and TVs with DVD players. Wi-Fi (high-speed wireless) Internet access is available throughout the house and grounds. Guests can relax on the large deck and Adirondack chairs facing the Bay, or enjoy a rocking chair or love seat on the Victorian house front porch.

We also now offer a fully furnished three-bedroom home rental for families needing a larger amount of space.  Located in a beautiful wooded community in the heart of Rock Hall, this home is within walking distance of many of the town's restaurants and will comfortably sleep six.  See Rock Hall Retreat for more information.
