Old Gratitude House
Bed and Breakfast
Rock Hall, Maryland
 |
Sandy, Hank and Mikey
(their Westie) await your visit to their relaxing and elegant bed & breakfast on the
Chesapeake Bay.
A new addition to Rock Hall, there’s
a magic here that harks back to an era when passenger and freight boats plied the Bay, and
where visitors enjoyed their vacations in the many summer homes located on this tree lined
street. |
Whether you are arriving by sail or powerboat, visiting someone with a
boat, or just looking for somewhere to unwind and relax, the Old Gratitude
House is your home away from home.
Originally built in a Victorian style about 1890 in a
village called Gratitude, this private home was expanded in 1999 and
modernized in 2005, to create one of the finest bed & breakfasts in the area. Four
beautifully decorated guest rooms with private baths, cable/DVD TVs and high speed
wireless Internet access await you. The Old Gratitude House
takes full advantage of the soothing water's edge, while also offering access to a variety
of activities that will keep you busy.
The Old Gratitude

guest rooms and suites, and Sandy and Hank's personal attention will make your visit one
to remember and tell friends about

Activities
For Our Guests |

- Kayaks: Gratitude House guests enjoy free use of Heritage kayaks to
explore nearby Tavern and Swan Creeks. The Haven with its natural unspoiled marshes and
waters is host to herons, swans, ducks and many other species of wildlife. Shallow depths
and easy to maneuver kayaks make for a pleasurable worry free experience. Leisurely
explore the local water ways at your own pace. There are no time limits here.

Refuge. This unspoiled island, is located only 15 minutes from Gratitude or visit The Kent

and social events, education programs and an information exchange

- Biking: Guests can use Gratitude House bikes to explore the Rock Hall
area, or take advantage of one of Kent County’s many bike tour routes. Kent
County’s relatively flat and safe roads make it a biker’s paradise. Stop at one
of the many local restaurants for a refreshing pick me up or Durding’s old fashioned
drug store for a hand-dipped ice cream treat. We also have a 21 speed tandem bike
available for more adventures.
- Music, Shopping & Dining: Rock Hall has it all! Enjoy great musical
performances, shopping and dining while staying while
staying at Old Gratitude House. Not sure what to do? We'll be happy to offer you
suggestions.
- Boating: Fishing charters, and sail and powerboat cruises on the
Chesapeake Bay and surrounding rivers can be arranged with sufficient advance notice, as
well as longer bareboat charters.

Enjoy
dinner at one of the many great restaurants in the area, and return at the end of the day
to relax outside on the Gratitude House's deck or lawn to enjoy a breathtaking
sunset to the sound of the 1812 Overture. |
And maybe the best activity is no
activity at all. Relax, refresh and renew your sprit with the hypnotic sunset and
incredibly colorful evening sky. That’s why we call it Gratitude.
