Location, Location, Location! - W Melson House - Beautiful - In Town St Michaels

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.

Spring break
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.

Shower note
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.

Perfect Stay for "Christmas in St. Michaels" Weekend
Staying a the Melson House was perfect for my sister and me for the annual Christmas in St. Michaels weekend. We were just a block or two away from the boat parade on the Miles River, the street parade on Talbot Street, and the Christmas marketplace and all the other activities. The house was very comfortable and quaint, and the kitchen was well out-fitted. With the permission of the owner, we had a beautiful fire in the fireplace every evening. (We stopped at Lowe's Bayshore Nursery in Stevensville and bought some well-seasoned firewood en route.) It was so enjoyable to be staying in an historic house surrounded by other historic and interesting homes. St. Michaels offers great restaurants, shops and museums, and is an incredibly friendly town. We joked that we felt like we were in a Hallmark Christmas movie!

Somewhat rustic; pretty; beautiful historic location. Towels need fresher, newer, more abundant. Dish towels in bathrooms were abnormal; no tissues; no extra paper towels. Temperature was well regulated; thermostat; great

Wonderful weekend in St. Michael’s
The house was in a perfect location to explore St. Michael’s without ever using our car. It was a charming historic cottage and we would definitely rent it again. We brought our 11 year old golden retriever and she was thrilled to meet all the people in town. Such a dog friendly place. Thank you.

Wonderful trip
This was our annual St.Michael’s anniversary trip and it is the first time we stayed at the Melson House and it will definitely NOT be our last time. The location was great, the place was very quaint and comfortable. Very clean as well. The communication was outstanding. We read some things regarding the showers, but it really was not a big deal. We were able to bring our Golden Retriever with us which is one of the reasons we chose the Melson house. Everything worked out perfectly. It was a great value for the price. We hope to be able to return next year.
