No list of unique places to stay in Maryland would be complete without including the hobbit house. Yes, in Maryland, you can live like a hobbit. Found at the 20-acre campground, these houses are comfortable and nicely equipped but as rustic as one might imagine a hobbit lives.
This is a spectacular experience because you can rent out the Lighthouse Keeper's Quarters at The Cove Point Lighthouse in Calvert County. This 1925 historic building is rustically beautiful with a huge white porch and Adirondack chairs, the most stunning of views, and access to the site’s private four-acre beach. Visitors are few and far between so you will have the run of the grounds to yourself most of the time. You have access to the entire house, making this is a location perfect for larger family gatherings.
If you have ever seen “The Wedding Crashers,” then you are familiar with the Inn at Perry Cabin.

You can take your boat and dock at the hotel, stay in luxury, enjoy the spa, dine at the pub, and feel like you have been transported directly into the movie. This is secluded romance at its best.
This is by far the best hotel to stay in during the holidays because of their famous ICE! event and display. The resort turns into a winter wonderland like no other and it’s spectacular.

Experience what it must have been like to stay in a hotel in a small charming Maryland town in the 1800s. You can do so by staying at the Atlantic and enjoying the Victorian guestrooms. The town is still equally charming and you will find small cafes and locally-owned shops within walking distance.
Your kids can party like a pirate on their poolside pirate ship with slides, swim for hours, have fun in the splash area and then spend time and indoors at the arcade or 1950s dinner. This of course is when they aren't at hanging out at the Ocean City Beach. This one is a ton of fun.
