Elkton, located on the Colonial Highway of America, is found at the northern headwaters of the Chesapeake Bay. Because it is located halfway between Washington, DC, and New York City and just minutes away from Baltimore and Philadelphia, it has access to all the cultural and commercial draws of those metropolitan areas, yet has its own small-town charm and atmosphere. The proximity to the larger cities was also a reason to visit Elkton if you wanted to get married quickly without the restrictions that were in place in neighboring states. In its heyday during the 1920s and 1930s, Elkton became the “elopement capital of the East Coast” where thousands of marriages were performed each year, many of them being celebrity marriages. Whether you’re headed here to get married or to just enjoy the small-town atmosphere, check out these top Airbnb vacation rentals in Elkton, Maryland.

We handpicked these listings carefully, considering (wherever possible) Superhost status, recent guest reviews, location, accommodation type, prices, availability of dates, decor, and amenities. The image galleries get refreshed with the latest updates regularly. They were last updated on February 02, 2024.
