This was our first trip to Solomons and Back Creek Inn was the perfect choice. We loved that the yard and gardens sloped right down to the water; our first afternoon was spent enjoying the view from 2 comfy Adirondack chairs on the lawn. We appreciated being able to walk to dinner each night as well as to the Marine Museum--not far at all. Ahh, simple pleasures!

There was always coffee and tea available; the crab meat quiche for Sunday brunch was out of this world! We stayed in the Tansy room, and loved the comfy couches and excellent lighting for reading--about the best we've ever had. Excellent bed.

This was my first visit to Carol Pennock's Back Creek Inn and I'm hooked. You have a choice of six rooms or a private cottage, overlooking the water and surrounded by gardens that are as perfect as her artwork. The aromas coming from the kitchen were nearly intoxicating. The staff is terrific and helpful, the location is superb, and the accommodations are top notch. The Back Creek Inn is a Solomons destination although there are plenty of things to see and do around town.

This is an absolutely wonderful B&B to enjoy yourself with a great location on the water in beautiful Solomons Island, MD. Pampered by Carol, the owner, and her wonderful staff, especially Marcia, who cooks a fantastic breakfast. Carol's artwork is displayed throughout the cottage and rooms of the main house. My wife and I brought along our kayaks and toured both Back Creek and adjacent Mill Creek, both nice waterways with many coves to explore. The town itself is a great place to just walk around and explore with many restaurants within easy walking distance. Go enjoy yourself here!

I checked out this B&B on TripAdvisor and made reservations for three nights – just to relax (I’m a widower, now in my 80’s). It was an excellent choice and I thought the B&B ideal. I just reread the many reviews and find I can’t add much without being repetitive. So just a couple of things: 1) Not only is the owner pleasant but so are all the staff members. Helpful, pleasant but not hovering or intrusive so I could enjoy both social contacts and privacy! 2) The B&B has just the right amount of stuff around. I’ve been in B&Bs that have so much gee-gaws, knick-knacks, and “antiques” lying about that there is no room for any personal “stuff”. 3) The breakfasts are, of course, outstanding – three mornings: a first with a ham and cheese omelet, a second with Eggs Benedict, and a third with French Toast and sausages. All accompanied with fresh fruit. Plus great coffee. 4) The use of a bicycle was very much appreciated to tour the town and to really test out my three-month old knee replacement! 5) A special thank-you is due one of the staff who spent a lot of time on the telephone, finally locating for me a place that could make for me a Stuffed Ham Sandwich, a somewhat rare treat indigenous to St. Mary’s County. 6) The B&B is within walking distance of three of the better restaurants in the village. 7) It is a real pleasure to sit outside, glass of wine in hand, looking out over the water and the many sails on the Back Creek of Solomons.
