Inn at the Canal Take a romantic step back in history as you stroll down the streets of Chesapeake City, MD where you can turn back the hands of time and slip into the elegance and charm of this upper Eastern Shore village. Independently owned and operated for over 18 years by innkeepers Mary and Al Ioppolo, Inn At The Canal offers a warm and personal touch for the traveler. Mary oversees the extensive perennial gardens that produce many varieties of flowers, which are often found in vases throughout the Inn. The gardens also yield many of the herbs which enhance the flavor of breakfast entrées and adorn the plates. The aroma of Mary's homemade muffins, breads and entrées gently beckon you to breakfast. Al not only helps greet and serve guests, but he also owns and operates the INNtiques antique shop, found in the lower level of the Inn. You will find him busy refinishing furniture, polishing and cleaning iron, brass, copper and silver antiques to maintain an interesting assortment in the shop. The shops and restaurants of Chesapeake City are just a few steps from the front door and a lovely view of the Chesapeake and Delaware Canal and harbor can be seen from several of the rooms. meetings: Activities: Located in the heart of the Historic District of Chesapeake City MD, this Victorian Gothic style Inn bed and breakfast has an ideal location for browsing the gift and antique shops, enjoying dinner at one of several fine restaurants or spending time in one of the art galleries. If boating brings you to the area, you will find a public anchorage and boat ramp nearby and off street parking for your car and boat trailer at the Inn. In cooler weather relax in the parlor reading about the area or work on one of the jigsaw puzzles. There are many books and games to interest you. Of course, you are always welcome to join us in our antique shop downstairs. Mary suggests that you also visit the Cecil County Tourism Calendar to see what is happening throughout the county. Cecil County offers many attractions that appeal to a wide variety of interest. If you are interested in history, we are only a short drive from many historical sites in Maryland, Delaware and Pennsylvania. Accolades: Reservations |
