Back Creek Inn

Located in the heart of historic southern Maryland, the Back Creek Inn offers a unique blend of old and modern conveniences. For over 125 years, this waterman's home has stood on the tree-lined banks of Back Creek. First a private residence, this home now celebrates its 24th year as a waterside Bed & Breakfast Retreat. The Back Creek, one of southern Maryland's scenic waterways along which the Inn is nestled, merges with the Patuxent River and the Chesapeake Bay. Sailing and motorized boating guests may dock at one of the two slips available at the Inn’s dock. Guests can enjoy a leisurely walk through the Inn’s gardens and the nearby island riverwalk.  Gift shops, restaurants, wineries, Annmarie Garden, an art gallery, charter fishing, and a Marine Museum are all within easy walking distance - there is no need to drive during your stay if you don’t want to. Complimentary bicycles from the Inn are also available for your use. Patuxent Adventure Center offers kayak rentals and, for a fee, will deliver them to the inn so that you can explore the tributaries of the Chesapeake Bay.  Carol Pennock, the innkeeper, and the staff  look forward to welcoming new and returning guests. Carol is an accomplished artist, specializing in oils and watercolors. She also works in stained glass. Most of Carol's creations are on display and can be purchased at the Inn.
