The Inn at Mt. Ida

We had our daughter's Bat Mitzvah with about 75 people this December at The Inn at Mt Ida (only a 13 year old would pick a pool party theme in December). What a fabulous, unique venue with such a helpful and accommodating team behind the operation. Friends are still talking about the beauty of the Inn and the delicious catering provided by Chef Nathan. Amazing appetizers, pizza, and homemade ice cream sandwiches. Kim and Nathan are just the best and if you haven't visited River House Pizza yet, you're missing out on the best pizza in Howard County. We added a tent to maximize the use of the grounds - the inside of the Inn and the grounds are just beautiful. We didn't stay upstairs since we are local, but the bedrooms and kitchen upstairs are thoughtfully decorated and really so elegant.

An absolutely gorgeous place to stay. Kimberly and Nathan put thought into every little detail within this Inn and it shows (for example, the coziest bathrobes in every room- we felt like we were in a luxurious spa). Even better, we had our wedding rehearsal dinner here and the service was absolutely amazing. The food (we had the fajita bar) was equally impressive. I cannot say enough about how thoughtful Kimberly and team were, and how great they are to work with. Super personable and just know how to host/ take care of their guests! If you are thinking of booking an event here or just getting away, book it now! Truly a beautiful oasis in the cute downtown area of Ellicott City!

Where do I start!? I would give 10 stars if I could. From the beginning Kimberly was attentive, transparent with pricing and helpful in organizing my daughter’s baptism brunch. She immediately shared the catering menu which was reasonably priced. I met with the Chef in person, he was very approachable and helpful in reviewing details from food to decorations. Every detail of this home is elegantly decorated; frankly not too much to add other than a few floral arrangements. The day of the baptism we had beautiful weather (end of May), the doors were open -there was a cool gentle breeze. The Chef had soft music playing for us. We were greeted by a beautiful buffet. The food was delicious, all our guests were impressed by this lovely historic home, food and attentive service. It was stres

We are so grateful to Kimberly, Nathan and their wonderful staff for our amazing 50th anniversary celebration. I was awestruck almost to tears the first time I walked into the Inn—it is that beautiful—and seeing the most special people in our lives enjoy the house and gardens was incredibly gratifying. We know firsthand that the food and service were impeccable, and many of our guests told us so! It was truly a grand party! Our guests who stayed at the Inn overnight loved their accommodations and the amenities provided, and told us they spent hours Saturday morning chatting over coffee on the balcony. Kimberly and Nathan’s responsiveness to our needs and desires was evident throughout the planning and the event itself. Kimberly was frequently in touch during the planning, and all the deta

The Inn at Mt Ida was the absolute perfect setting for our 20-years-and-running book club November gathering. What better setting to discuss our chosen ghost story / murder mystery, than this gorgeous renovated Historic Inn! Six besties stayed up way too late, laughing, dancing, and having the time of our lives. The firepit on this chilly fall evening was the perfect place to swap spooky tales, and reminisce about the awesome times we've shared over the years. The bedroom suites are luxurious and so comfy - every element of the renovation is super stylish on on point. The cozy sunny balcony was the perfect place to enjoy our coffee and breakfast in the morning - still laughing and enjoying each other's company. The entire setting and vibe is elegant and sophisticated, yet so cozy and warm.
