About the host

Hosted by Kathryn Mello

Host profile image
I was raised right here in Ellicott City and have always had a soft spot for old stone homes and the stories they carry. This house had been on my radar for years — a forgotten gem that finally came up for auction in rough shape. I spent over six months breathing life back into the bones to be able to share my place with others… and it’s a continued love to fix it up as time marches on.

With the help of a great contractor (and more than a few late-night Pinterest and YouTube deep dives), I’ve worked to preserve its character while adding comfort and charm. Hosting here isn’t just about offering a place to stay — it’s about welcoming people into a home that’s rooted in the community I know so well. Ellicott City has its own rhythm, full of quirks and hidden gems, and I’m always happy to share local tips or stories that make your visit memorable.

Why they chose this property

There’s something timeless about Old Ellicott City, especially down by the lower Patapsco River. The winding streets, the stone bridges, the echoes of train whistles from the historic B&O Railroad — it all feels like stepping into a storybook. My home sits right in the heart of it, perched above the river with views that shift beautifully with the seasons.

This neighborhood isn’t just scenic — it’s soulful. The buildings wear their age proudly, with weathered stone and ironwork that whisper tales of centuries past. You’ll find antique shops tucked into old mills, cafés with creaky floors and warm smiles, and trails that lead you straight into nature’s quiet corners. It’s a place where history and community live side by side.

What makes this property unique

This isn’t just a rental — it’s a chance to experience Ellicott City’s soul from the inside out.
