About this cottage rental

The recently restored historic Washington Melson House, located at 206 Locust St. is a 2 bedroom vacation cottage that is a short walk from all museums, parks, restaurants, churches and shops in St. Michaels! Rates vary by season, and whether stay is weeknight or weekend. Stays of a week or longer are discounted, as are "last minute" bookings.

The house was built around 1840 by Washington Melson, a sailor, believed to be one of two individuals in Talbot County who voted for Abraham Lincoln in the presidential election of 1860. The house was originally built at only 16 feet wide but enlarged to the current width soon thereafter.

The first floor of the original portion of the Melson House includes a living room and a dining room. To the rear of the original house on the first floor is a kitchen area which opens up by French doors to an outdoor patio. Also connected to the kitchen is a large family room with a queen sleep sofa. There is a half bath off the family room.

The second floor of the original portion of the Melson house is a bedroom having two twin beds and a half bath. The second floor to the rear of the house (accessed by a different staircase than that in the original portion), contains the master bedroom having a queen size bed. There is a full bathroom off this bedroom.

Historic cottage 1 block from both the harbor and the shops and restaurants in town. Quiet street. Lots of history in the cottage. Loved the town of St. Michaels. Great area for bicycling.

Wonderful return visit to St Michaels. This time at a fantastic historical home in perfect location. Home was everything you could ask for and more. Park your car and walk anywhere, within a very quiet neighborhood, yet minutes from all St Michaels offers. Highly recommend this Property and host.

This is a clean, beautifully decorated house within walking distance to about everything. Keep in mind the historic nature of the house, however, when using the retrofitted bathrooms. The slant-ceiling shower is a squeeze for taller folks but there's nowhere else for it to go, really. Just part of the charm of the property.
