Elk Forge B&B Inn & Day Spa

Awesome

Beautiful space with very interesting hosts. I love that they made an end out of their family home. Wonderful breakfast beautiful areas within the home. We had an excellent stay.

For the price, this an amazing value. The Elk Forge Inn has a great charm to it, and we had the place practically to ourselves this time of year. I really appreciated the heat vent just outside the shower to stay warm. It also comes equipped with fireplaces in all rooms, all were functional. There were a few issue, I was a bit concerned about the temperature of our Baltimore room, but the electric fireplace helped keep it adequate enough. Also, there are some noticeable cosmetic issues in the front hallway, but didn't detract whatsoever from the stay. The owner, Harry came and met us personally in the morning, and he's a delight to talk to. If you are looking for a alternative to the corporate hotel chains in the Elkton/University of Delaware area, I highly suggest this Inn.

Lovely owners. Great breakfast. Beautiful home.

The property needs a real overhaul! It’s not dirty, but it’s dingy, and toilet barely flushed. They also have a freight train right near the property and it honked its horn at night. 😳 Also, our in room jacuzzi was really dingy so we wore our bathing suits. Uggh. The breakfast was also ehhh, and the coffee was horrible. We won’t be back.

We booked a room through Expedia as part of a trip to Longwood Gardens for their Winter Lights display. Since it was freezing outside, we planned to stop by the room first to change. About 30 minutes before our arrival, we got a voicemail saying a water pipe had burst, and they needed to cancel. Okay, no problem—we pivoted and went straight to Longwood Gardens. But before going in, we spent an hour in the parking lot searching for another B&B without any luck. We decided to enjoy the gardens anyway, and they didn’t disappoint! If you’ve never been, you must visit in both spring and winter—it’s incredible. Then, another voicemail came through saying the pipe issue was fixed, and the room was ready. I called back to confirm, but no one answered. It was now 10 p.m., so we headed to Elk Forge, unsure of what to expect. The room was… fine. Let’s just say it could use a little TLC—paint peeling from the ceiling, for starters. When I turned on the faucet to wash up, there was no water. So much for that fixed pipe! Guess they just really wanted my money. The next morning, we went down for breakfast, hoping for a redeeming moment. Instead, we were met with something that felt like a knockoff Fairfield Inn breakfast: scrambled eggs, a waffle maker, juice, and some sad, expired-looking fruit. Looking back, I should’ve stayed at a Marriott. It would’ve been cheaper, had a bigger bed, better food, and—most importantly—running water. Lesson learned!
