Property Description
The recently restored historic Washington Melson House, located at 206 Locust St. is a 2 bedroom vacation cottage that is a short walk from all museums, parks, restaurants, churches and shops in St. Michaels! Rates vary by season, and whether stay is weeknight or weekend. Stays of a week or longer are discounted, as are "last minute" bookings.
The house was built around 1840 by Washington Melson, a sailor, believed to be one of two individuals in Talbot County who voted for Abraham Lincoln in the presidential election of 1860. The house was originally built at only 16 feet wide but enlarged to the current width soon thereafter.
The first floor of the original portion of the Melson House includes a living room and a dining room. To the rear of the original house on the first floor is a kitchen area which opens up by French doors to an outdoor patio. Also connected to the kitchen is a large family room with a queen sleep sofa. There is a half bath off the family room.
The second floor of the original portion of the Melson house is a bedroom having two twin beds and a half bath. The second floor to the rear of the house (accessed by a different staircase than that in the original portion), contains the master bedroom having a queen size bed. There is a full bathroom off this bedroom.

40th Anniversary
We had a wonderful stay. This was our second time staying here and we loved it. Very quay, cozy and clean. Everything as advertised. Location is perfect as it is a very walkable town. This place is right in the middle. The owner was very friendly, open and communicative. And I had a big surprise when we returned. My neck pillow I had forgotten and left it 2 years ago was still there sitting in a closet. We hope to return next year.

Great Location but…
The listing is right in that the house is in a great location. You can walk/bike to pretty much anywhere you want to go from the house. The historic features of the house are also very cool. It is basically two cottages put together with a galley kitchen connecting them. The property however needs some love. There was a lot of marked up and peeling paint around the house that could easily be touched up to make it look cleaner. There were outlets in the house that were not working like in the kitchen near the microwave (meaning if you want to use the microwave you had to move it). There were also ants in the kitchen, but that happens this time of year and should be expected in an older home.The one full bath could have also used some love, the shower curtain bar is badly rusted and there’s loads of water proofing tape covering who knows what. Overall the bathroom could have felt cleaner. In the downstairs bathroom only one of the knobs for water works. Not a big deal, but something that should be addressed.The sheets were very worn and thin and mismatched. The pillows were completely flat (bring your own if this would bother you). The towels while I’m guessing were clean were also all different and not in the best condition.The heat also didn’t work at all for our stay so we were very cold at night.Lastly, there is NO pool as stated in the listing and I could not contact the owner at all through the app to ask about it.Overall a premium price for a just ok house.

Locust St Stay
We had a great weekend in st. Michaels. The house is in a perfect location and you can easily walk to all the shops, restaurants and the harbor. The house is charming and comfortable.

Historic Charmer
This was a cute historic house very close to all shops and restaurants. Location could not be better. It could use a thorough cleaning and the shower is pretty rustic. But overall a good place to stay.

Spring break
Wonderful return visit to St Michaels. This time at a fantastic historical home in perfect location. Home was everything you could ask for and more.
Park your car and walk anywhere, within a very quiet neighborhood, yet minutes from all St Michaels offers. Highly recommend this
