Review


I’m not sure if urban legend describes something you never knew existed or ever hoped to find, but the Inn Berlin is a place I never even thought to look for- a truly gluten free B&B. My husband found it while searched for lodgings for our silver wedding anniversary trip. Established in 2021 by millennial couple, this elegant house is a truly rare find. Outside food is prohibited because all the offerings here are gluten free: breakfast, drinks, baked goods, sweet/savory snacks. The wife is celiac and also the chef. She is amazing! How many places have you stayed while on vacation where you looked forward to the daily gourmet breakfast offerings as much as, or more than, what you are doing after breakfast?? This was truly a unique experience for me, hopefully not “a once in a lifetime”. Maya is a truly gifted chef. Her B&B business caters to the gluten sensitive but is not exclusive to others who are unaffected. Some guests stay and have no idea that everything she makes is gf. She is that good! The accommodations are nicely decorated, combining old and new decor, clean, comfortable, quiet, and welcoming with organic touches everywhere (skin/hair care products, sheets, etc). There is a tea & coffee bar available to guests 24/7 that includes fresh clementines, a cookie of the day cookie jar, a wide variety of gf crunchy snacks (sweet and savory), bottled water, a small refrigerator with upper freezer for ice already in individual bags, chilled flavored seltzer water, and apple sauce packets. This is the first overnight stay where I did not need to bring snacks with me and I could eat anything I wanted without fear of getting sick. I would recommend this place to any celiac. Private dinners are available with a 2 week notice and there is space for events/weddings to be held here. There is a wine and gluten free beer list available for ordering separately. There are 5 guest rooms and beautiful, immaculately kept grounds. This is the first vacation I’ve had since being diagnosed with celiac disease where I didn’t end up in the bathroom unexpectedly and often from gluten contamination. If you’re going to Ocean City or Assateague, treat yourself to some Berlin GF hospitality at the Inn Berlin! My compliments to the chef.
