" "Romance at Waters Edge." "...And I shall have some peace there, for peace comes dropping slow..." YM Butler Yeats The Tarr House, circa 1667, recalls the quiet elegance of a time past. This house, reputedly one of the oldest in St. Michaels, Maryland, is locally believed to have been built in the 1670's by Edward Elliott. It was Elliott who also built the first Episcopal Church in Saint Michaels on the nearby site of Christ Church. The Tarr House stands on the north side of Green Street in the center of historic St. Michaels, overlooking the St. Michaels Harbor and the Church Cove Park. This ideal location not only affords breathtaking views but also is within short walking distances of shops, restaurants, and museums. The first floor features a cozy sitting room with original heart of pine floors, a fireplace, and windows framing picturesque St. Michaels Harbor. Stroll through the romantic gardens and relax by the lily ponds in the rear yard Enjoy your full, gourmet breakfast served on fine China. In the winter months, we light the fireplace in the dining room for a cozy breakfast. During the warmer season, central air conditioning keeps you comfortable. "Prepare to be pampered."
