A Maryland Bed and Breakfast, Wood's Gain Bed and Breakfast is located in Carroll County in the historic Village of Linwood, Maryland. Rooted in the happy past of the 19th Century, Linwood maintains its mellow brick buildings, mill, farms, barns and white steepled church and provides travelers with a warm, friendly hospitality based upon two centuries of tradition. Take a walk through the village and enjoy the pastoral countryside of the Priestland Valley. For over 100 years, the five story grain elevator stored grain for the local farmers. On Sunday, the Linwood Brethren Church, built in 1905 in "country gothic" style, welcomes visitors.
Our completely restored brick house, the oldest in the village, was built in 1866 by Josiah Englar who purchased the property as part of the tract of land for which the B&B is named. Wood's Gain's unique features include five fireplaces, four stairways, the Parlor, the front porch with swing, the Summer Kitchen and, for the adventurous, the old outhouse in the back.
The original Englar General Store, built in 1877, is still part of the property, as is the Grain Elevator, the second oldest one in the United States still standing..
