Columbia,
Maryland is a planned community in Howard County,
midway between Washington DC and Baltimore. It’s a great stopping place for Romantic
Getaways or Family Lodging along the Beltway.
The Howard
County Tourism Council is a great source for complete listings of hotels
and accommodations. We loved the Commodore Joshua Barney House for
Romantic Couples. We loved the Commodore
Suite’s spacious proportions and romance-inspiring décor. The “Autumn Ghost Walk and Ghostly Weekend
Package for Two” is a unique way for couples to enjoy the area. You’ll love the expansive gardens and
ponds. Travel Guides rate the Barney House
Three Diamonds and this circa-1760 B&B sits on the National Register of
Historic Places.
Romantic Couples should indulge with a Romantic Weekend
Package at The Inn at Peralynna Manor
in Columbia, Maryland, with dinner for two, breakfast in
bed, champagne and roses. The
luxury-sized private honeymoon suite is tastefully decorated with private
balcony, king sized bed, and a Jacuzzi for two.
Travel Guides rated this Columbia
lodging as “Best Overall B&B Inn in North America.” We appreciated the welcoming wine &
cheese reception and the gourmet (made to order) breakfasts in the whimsical
atrium.
For a pet-friendly, kid-friendly stay in Columbia Maryland,
check into the Staybridge
Suites Baltimore-Columbia. Conveniently located, we enjoyed the outdoor
pool, spacious rooms, and sports court and game room for the kids.
