My daughter was married at the Baltimore Museum of Industry outdoors and overlooking the Inner Harbor. My husband and I spent a week at McHenry House instead of a hotel. It was definitely the best decision! The house was delightful, clean and roomy. I especially loved all the bathrooms! All the bridesmaids and the bride came over the day of the wedding to get hair done and get dressed. It worked out great!

Three night family getaway

Our extended family was looking for a quick getaway together and the McHenry House fit the bill perfectly! Each of the three couples had their own bath and bedroom and our 6 year old daughter had the entire lower level to herself. Our 18 month old slept in the large walk-in closet in the master bedroom in the provided pack and play. The neighborhood is wonderful and was conveniently located for a quick trip to the inner harbor and made a good base for a day trip to DC.

What a beautiful home!!! It was quiet and lots of room, exactly as described. Each room having it's own full bath was wonderful. No trying to figure out who was going to shower when, so to be out of the house in time for graduation. It is walking distance to 2 water taxi stops. Although we didn't have time to sightsee we did walk down to Fort Mc Henry just before closing and had beautiful views. It was easy access to everything, Interstate, downtown, grocery, bar, ice cream shop, park. I have only the highest praise for this home. You won't go wrong by renting this. Karen and her husband were a pleasure to work with, always responding to notes and phone calls.

We celebrated my husband's 30th birthday with family at the McHenry House !! It was very kid friendly home that accomondating a family night of catch phrase, seafood, cake, and ice cream. The bedrooms were spacious and extremely clean. We had a great time enjoying the sights of Baltimore ! We can't wait to book our next visit and strongly recommend the McHenry house to family and friends.

Wonderful Visit Back Home

Thanks to Karen and her wonderful Mc Henry House property, my family visit back to my city of birth was wonderful. My family of 4 has outlived hotel stays and we try to avoid them when we can. Mc Henry House is a wonderful property in a quiet neighborhood with all the amenities of home. Each of my daughters had their own bedroom and bathroom which they loved. There was plenty room for us to relax without tripping over each other. Wireless internet was a huge plus for my teen. We enjoyed walks to the ice cream shop and cupcake shop. I enjoyed my strolls to the Tide Point Pier where I relaxed and watched the boats come an go in and out of the harbor. Karen was very responsive to our minimal needs. And in-house laundry meant that we didn't need to bring dirty clothes home. It was a great vacation and this home was a huge part of our enjoyment. I can't wait to visit again.

Thank you Karen! The McHenry House was perfect for our stay in Baltimore last week. I have never stayed in a rental home that was so well equipped! And the beds...I usually do not sleep the first couple of nights, but you can't help but fall fast asleep on those pillow top mattresses. It is quite obvious that you set this home up as if you were going to live in it! Location was great and the directions that you provided to our conference site was so easy to follow and took us straight there. I would highly recommend this property to anyone visiting the Baltimore area. We had 7 in our party and everyone was thoroughly pleased with this home. It was so much better than spending several nights cramped up in a couple of small hotel rooms (less costly, too). We hope to have the opportunity to rent again in the future.

The McHenry house was beautiful and perfect for our "Sisters" weekend as there was plenty of space. We loved the rooftop deck and spent hours sitting at the large kitchen table talking. Karen was so helpful and easy to work with. The neighbors were helpful and there was plenty of on street parking in the block. I would highly recommend this house.

Less then 3 miles from the Inner Harbor, great park for the kids 2 blocks away and a great Pub for the adults 1 block away. Please to utilize in the future as it is a perfect get away.

Our family of five (3 kids ages 4-8) thoroughly enjoyed our trip to Baltimore. Your place was a great choice for our home base and met all out needs and then some. We took AMTRAK up to Baltimore and therefore did not have a car - but we didn't need one. We bought MTA passes and used the buses (and the light rail from Penn Station) to get around. The #1 bus came often enough on Fort Ave (a block away) and took us wherever we needed, including the grocery store right up the road. We also took advantage of the free water taxi from Tide point - it came by every 15 minutes or so. One highlight of our trip was taking the water taxi over to Fell's point and then walking to Patterson Bowling Center on Eastern Ave for duckpin bowling. The kids (and the adults) loved it. We also did the aquarium, an afternoon Orioles game, the Port Discovery kids museum, and the B&O train museum. We ate at a lot of different places - including nearby Thornton's pub. We also tried Baba's Mediterranean on Fort Ave, which had some excellent food. Another favorite was Pubdog Pizza - on Cross Street. We also loved the ice cream truck that came around most every evening (a cone of ice cream was only $1.25 - what a bargain). Our trip was a great success and your house was awesome. Sunset on the roof deck the last night was a fine ending to our vacation. When we return to Baltimore we will not hesitate to rent from you again we would highly recommend your place to anyone.
