About this property

***All New Mattresses installed March 2022***

THORNTON Estate, established in 1664, is a quintessential Eastern Shore estate. The magnificent manor house anchors the 325 acre preserved farm outside of Chestertown Maryland.
Lord Baltimore granted the original patent for Thornton from colonial lands he received from King Charles I of England in the early 17th century. Conveyed to Philip Hopkins in 1693 the estate is still owned by his direct descendants. The current manor house — built in 1815 — was fully renovated in 2008.

Perfect House for My Family

The Thornton Estate was above and beyond what my family was expecting. A historic home on an amazing piece of land. Dealing with the team that manages the house made the entire process a breeze. We would love to return in the future.

Great place to stay!

Our group had a great experience staying at Thornton. We had a large group in town for a wedding and it was the perfect place to spend time with friends. The house was gorgeous, the communication with the team was timely and efficient, and everything was clean and well-equipped. We’d definitely stay here again.
