Experience

A 172-year-old property located at the intersections of the Avon River and Annapolis Valleys, The August House offers 11 rooms that range from bright and spacious to cozy and sweet, intimate gatherings for up-to 80 people, beautiful common spaces (including our outdoor gardens and fire pits) and bespoke culinary events.

Beginning to end – from decadent beds to yummy treats in our hallway kitchen and beautiful spaces to hide away with a book – we weave all of this goodness into your stay with us. The August House experience is intended to be low touch, high vibe. We’ve created beautiful, simple, thoughtful spaces that are easy-to-use and be in, but are largely self-serve. With contactless check in, you can move through your experience on your terms. But we are only ever a call away.

Our hope is that after a visit here, you leave with rest in your bones, a twinkle in your eye and the spirit of an invincible summer to carry you through…until you visit us again.
