Recent Guest Reveiws

The Columbia Inn at Peralynna is known its' exceptional service and guest satisfaction. These recent reviews are proof that the Peralynna is Maryland's best bed and breakfast and the perfect choice for your next getaway.

"Coming back each day to a freshly spruced up room and a fresh cup of coffee (or wine) was a great experience all summer, and having a custom made to order breakfast every single day was a great way to wake up. Most days, I would descend the stairs to the smell of fresh sizzling bacon. 
The rooms themselves are all unique. Top quality (and size) mattresses, elegant bathrooms (some just good, others are truly superior), and balcony access (most rooms have this, and some even have two) are all great amenities."

"This property in Columbia is close to the city, but feels like you are miles away. I really enjoyed the Z suite with the patio out front and the spacious room. Breakfast was great and the staff was outstanding."

"The room was beautiful and the staff are exceptional. They went to extra lengths to make our wedding night extraordinary. Highly recommend this wonderful establishment."

A Beautiful Letter of Support

We were copied on this amazing letter sent to Howard County Executive Ken Ulman thanking him for recognizing our dedication and economic impact the Peralynna has on Howard County. 

Mr. Ulman ,

 

As a recent visitor to your part of the country, my wife and I had the opportunity to stay at the Columbia Inn at Peralynna.  My wife recently had surgery and it was our first excursion out.  We completely enjoyed our time at the Inn, area restaurants, shopping, and sights.  While I don't often write e-mails, when there was word that the Inn might be jeopardized, I felt a need to let someone know from outside the area how valuable having a bed and breakfast locally is to the local economy.  Given the credit card statements after we returned home, I believe we enhanced the economy quite well during our stay.  I'm glad to see a government official as yourself be able to see beyond what's on paper and what a true community value you have. 

 

We will be staying again in the future and may actually relocate my medical practice to your area based on how much we enjoyed the area.  We never would have even known the area without the draw to the Inn.

 

Sincerely,

 

 

Jack Casas, MD FACC
