Inside The Hidden Maryland Bed & Breakfast Rooted in Black Joy and Excellence With Lisa Brown Alexander

Written By Keri Henderson

What does it take to create a luxury retreat that feels personal, intentional, and rooted in culture?

In this on-location episode, I visit Wellspring Manor & Spa, a stunning Black-owned bed and breakfast in Prince George’s County, Maryland, for a powerful conversation with co-owner Lisa Brown Alexander. Tucked away on a once-abandoned estate, Wellspring is now a thriving hub for art, wellness, and celebration, welcoming guests to experience hospitality that feels like home and healing.

Lisa shares how she and her husband transformed a once-abandoned estate into a vibrant boutique retreat where guests feel “seen, safe, and celebrated,” and reflects on the personal and business lessons they’ve learned along the way.

In this episode, we cover:

  • Why Prince George’s County, MD was the ideal home for a luxury Black-owned retreat

  • How they overcame early neighborhood resistance and built community trust

  • The art, food, and music events that make Wellspring Manor stand out

  • What it means to run a hospitality business with intention during seasonal shift
