ScotLaur Inn

Maryland


The folks from Chick & Ruth's Delly offer 10 rooms above the restaurant, each with wrought-iron beds, floral wallpaper and private bath. The quarters are small but have a cozy and familial atmosphere (the guesthouse is named after the owners' children Scott and Lauren, whose photos adorn the hallways). Breakfast included. Two-night minimum stay on weekends.
