We celebrated my daughters 16Th birthday in Maryland and had the pleasure staying here. They decorated the room with balloons and a card which was so amazing. The rooms are very clean, decorated lovely and the property is beautiful. They though of every detail right down to cold water at the pool and sunscreen if you needed some! I cant wait to go back and see the beautiful fall colors and stay at the inn again:)

This is a very nice hotel. It is small, quiet and relaxing. The grounds are well kept with Adirondack chairs and other comfortable chairs around the property. Almost all of the rooms have a water view as the hotel sits on a channel leading to the bay. You can watch the boats go by and see the Osprey guarding a nest and diving for food. Our second floor room was big enough and comfortable. The bathroom and and bedroom were large and clean enough and the room had a small balcony facing the water. The only thing missing was a refrigerator but the hotel had plenty of ice available for a cooler It is outside the tourist area of St. Michael's Island so it is about a 15 minute drive. If you want a relaxing place to stay, this is it.

Just a great quiet out of the way place to spend some quality time. Very clean and comfortable. Staff was friendly and helpful and available. Beautiful setting. The breakfast box setup seemed a little odd at first but I actually found that it's pretty much a perfect light breakfast. Great bar restaurant area. Would like to come back

Really friendly staff! Restaurant was really good as was the service. Not a huge menu, but some really nice entries for everyone. I had the rockfish and scallops - wow! My wife had the pancetta wrapped chicken which she enjoyed also. Weather didn't cooperate so we couldn't enjoy sitting out on the lawn and watching the boat traffic and all the blue herons across the waterway. Killer place I'm sure more into the season. Hope to return either May or early fall.

Inn was empty when we arrived. There was no way to a glass of wine or food. Room is clean but it has a loud minisplit and a dehumidifier that cycles in the bathroom. The most annoying thing was a transparent glass door between the bathroom and bedroom making privacy impossible for a family traveling together. We used a towel to block the door partially. Beds were comfortable. Breakfast was awful. I regret that we paid twice the cost of a chain hotel.
