13470 Dowell Rd.
Solomons, Maryland

Publishers Note: Annmarie Gardens is one of Calvert County, Maryland’s true treasures. The property is located in scenic Solomons, Maryland, where the Patuxent River meets the Chesapeake Bay. It is a pretty straight shot down Route 4 with two left turns (coming from the north) – one onto Dowell Road and the other into the entrance. Allow yourself an hour of drive time since there are several lights along the route. Exploring Solomons Island while you are in the vicinity is a good idea. We recommend that you take a tour of the Calvert Marine Museum just down the road from the Gardens and continue into town for some great places to eat.
