The Inn at Norwood Bed & Breakfast

The Inn at Norwood Bed and Breakfast is centrally located in the heart of Historic Sykesville, Maryland. Built in 1906 by the architect J.H. Fowble, the Inn at Norwood is a Colonial Revival home retaining much of its original charm and offers an atmosphere of warmth, tranquility, and elegance. Mr. Fowble built many of the buildings in the town of Sykesville, but he built the Inn as his family's residence. Relax on the front porch overlooking the town, or just snuggle up in the parlor next to our corn burning stove with a good book. The large guest rooms all contain private baths, cable television, DVD & CD players, air conditioning, and Free wireless internet. All our rooms have large Jacuzzi tubs, fireplaces, and the highest quality linens.

We are a Great Value compared to a Hotel: Free Breakfast, Free Calls, Free Wireless Internet, Free Coffee, Tea, Soda, Water and snacks (don't forget the homemade cookies!).

Come play or just marvel at the collection of antique coin operated games and toys, some dating back to the early 1900's. You can spend hours reminiscing about your childhood memories. We have over 10 working coin operated games that have been collected from all over the United States. We have spent many years acquiring our collection. Challenge your partner to a game of bowling, ask the Kissing Kupids your fate, or let the Love Tester rate your mate. Come and enjoy them all.

The Town of Sykesville, located in Carroll County, is on the National Register of Historic places. The quaint town was named for James Sykes, who purchased the land from George Patterson. The town has a completely restored Railroad Station which was originally built in 1884 and is now a restaurant. Sykesville has much to offer: great restaurants, a museum, festivals throughout the year, hiking and many bike trails, fishing, antique shops and much more.

Breakfast at The Inn at Norwood is truly a wonderful experience. Breakfast includes a 3 course meal. The first course consists of homemade breads, muffins or cakes. The second course is fresh fruit. This may be hot or cold depending on the season. The third course could contain Baked French Toast or Egg Soufle with crispy bacon, pancakes (orange or apple), and many other scrumptious dishes.

We have a refrigerator in our dining room for your use, a refreshment bar where hot water can be used for teas, cocoa and instant coffee, and snacks available around the clock.

About The Innkeepers

Stevon and Kelly Crum & Kelly's mom Eva opened the Bed & Breakfast on June 2, 2001. The idea of the Bed & Breakfast came about because Kelly and Stevon in their first year of dating traveled to different Bed & Breakfast's each month for a romantic getaway. Kelly and Stevon fell in love with the concept of Bed & Breakfast's. The people they met and the food they enjoyed was fabulous. They took all the things they loved from each Bed & Breakfast and incorporated it into the Inn at Norwood. Stevon always wanted to re-furbish an old home. This was the perfect house. Everything needed to be redone. During your stay at the Inn, you can see the before and after pictures. It is unbelievable what it once looked like. Kelly and Stevon each have other jobs as well as running the Inn. Kelly is a Travel Agent (and would love to help you plan your next escape!), and Stevon owns a local Carpet Cleaning business.

Macey is the Inn's Mascot. She is a Labradoodle - half Lab half Poodle. Kelly and Stevon did a lot of research before picking the perfect B&B dog. The Labradoodle is a breed originated in Australia. She has Poodle hair (No Allergies) and a Lab personality. She is the perfect dog for the Inn, friendly and loving to everyone. Don't be surprised if Macey greets you upon arrival.
