Description: Nestled in the middle of the Green Spring Valley, just 20 minutes from downtown Baltimore and the Inner Harbor, the Gramercy Mansion Bed & Breakfast is a step back in time. The Tudor style mansion and estate, which dates from 1902, is set on 45 acres of bucolic countryside. Tim Kline, Gramercy manager/owner, and co-owner Anne Pomykala restored the mansion and its surrounding gardens. This bed-and-breakfast and conference center has 11 stylish rooms, including two suites. The Cassatt Suite, a European Renaissance Retreat on the private lower level, features a garden terrace, king bed, sitting room with fireplace, and lavish bath with double whirlpool tub, separate two-person shower, and double vanity sinks. The Camelot Room is fit for royalty, featuring a Juliet balcony (you have to supply your own Romeo) with garden views, king bed, double whirlpool bath, and separate shower. Visit and you may discover you prefer the Blue Garden Suite, the Tower Room, or one of the other accommodations that can fill your life with romantic memories. You may also take advantage of the Olympic-size pool and tennis court, stroll along a woodland trail, through the orchard, flower or herb gardens, or visit the organic farm.
