Woodlawn

Maryland


Seven well-kept suites, all individually decked out with rustic charm (think boxwood gardens, fireplaces and vanity chests) and modern amenities (such as glassed-in showers and Jacuzzis with views of the water) characterize the lodging at this farm, which has been converted into an excellent rural resort in the cornfields of southern St Mary's county.
