Read on to learn about five benefits of staying at The Casselman Inn in Grantsville, Maryland.
STAY IN A HISTORIC LANDMARK
Solomon Sterner built The Casselman in the 19th century to serve travelers along the busy National Road. Each room in the original three-story Federal brick house contained a fireplace which was the only heat source for warmth and cooking. The bricks were handmade on the land nearby, and much of the woodwork was from hand-hewn timbers and hand-planed boards. One of the most beautiful features is the cherry handrail ascending to the third floor.
In our 180 years of history, we have been called Drover’s Inn, Farmer’s Hotel, Dorsey’s Hotel, and most notably, The Casselman. The Casselman continues today as a second-generation family-owned business. We are proud to be a historic landmark in western Maryland.
RELAX COMFORTABLY WITH ALL OF THE AMENITIES OF HOME
Guests visiting The Casselman can choose to stay at our historic inn or motel. Both accommodation options have clean, comfortable rooms and offer modern amenities so our guests can experience all the comforts of home during their stay with us.
The Casselman Inn features the two-room Dorsey Suite with its newly decorated bedroom and sitting room areas. The classic beauty of the antique furnishings makes this suite exquisite. It offers an oversized double bed and comfortable sofa, which can open into an additional bed and a private bath with a clawfoot tub and a soaking tub. Modern amenities include free WiFi, cable television, telephone, air conditioning and more. There is also a convenient, small kitchenette with an eating area located down the hallway. In addition to the suite, two other bedrooms with private baths are also available. If you would like to learn more about the Dorsey Suite, check out our blog, The Historic Dorsey Suite.
The most recent addition to The Casselman is The Casselman Motel. It boasts 40 rooms and is located just behind and to the left of the restaurant. In keeping with the original historic inn and restaurant, some furniture was hand-crafted by local community members and the Miller family. Our comfortable motel rooms feature a private bath, television, coffee maker, microwave, desk, free WiFi and more. We offer handicap-accessible rooms as well. Keep in mind, some of our motel rooms are freshly remodeled and feature quality, solid wood furniture from nearby craftspeople. If you would like to reserve one of these rooms, make sure to request a reservation asking for a newly remodeled room.
The Casselman Inn and The Casselman Motel are open 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
ENJOY DELICIOUS HOME-COOKED FOOD AND FRESHLY-BAKED GOODS
