Staying here on previous cross-country excursions has proven a double-edged sword for us. We love the accomodations and the innkeepers, but on our recent trip we chose to stay someplace else because we don't have a 4 wheel drive vehicle and feared getting stuck trying to drive out of their rather long snow-covered driveway. Both times we stayed last year we had to rely on the owners for a tow to the road. Mind you we have a front wheel drive Saab Aero, so you'd think the Swedes would have designed a car that could drive through snow, but the snows last year were just too deep and we weren't willing to chance it again. That being said, this was a great place to stay, especially the time we got upgraded to the bigger of their two rooms. (The third accomodation is a a cabin for families.) We've stayed in both rooms. The bigger room is expansive with vaulted ceilings, a king size bed, a full size kitchen, and a modular sofa; the smaller room has a small size refrigerator, microwave and a small table and chairs. Part of the fun of getting snowed in on our first visit when we got upgraded was getting to the grocery store after our skiing and then making a comfort food dinner of meatloaf, baked potatoes, and oven braised cabbage for ourselves as the snow fell. The meal became hearty skiers' lunches of meatloaf sandwiches the next day and the cabbage became soup. Breakfast is always the fun part of staying at a B&B and here it consists of a precooked meal wrapped in plastic and placed in the fridge to reheat in the microwave the next morning. It certainly tasted better than my description sounds. For anyone like us who likes to recreate in the state parks, the owners will provide you a Maryland state park pass for free park access during your stay. Waters Run is located on a beautiful piece of property way off the beaten path. If you've got the right vehicle, it's a great place to stay in the winter and any other time of the year I'm sure.
