Hotels near Tilghman Island, MD

“When we visited Wylder Tilghman Island to see if it might be a venue contender for our wedding, it was the most beautiful June day on the Eastern Shore. The weather was perfect - sunny, blue skies, and a cool breeze - and we knew it would make the perfect place to welcome our family and friends and to celebrate our wedding.

Over the next several months we worked with staff from Wylder, primarily Alyssa, in planning our wedding with our wedding planner, Christine McFarlane. Alyssa was responsive to our questions and advocated for us to management regarding different negotiation points and contract questions. She was professional and kind all while making it clear that she wanted to work with us to host our wedding at Wylder.

As our wedding approached, we participated in a tasting at Wylder and at that time Alyssa shared with us that she would actually miss our wedding as she would be on parental leave. This made me nervous, reasonably so, as the woman who we had been coordinating everything with, wouldn't be there to help execute our big day. Alyssa maintained strong communication in the weeks ahead and ultimately connected us with KD, who would be our contact moving forward.

KD was excellent. She continued the strong communication style first exhibited by Alyssa and even proactively caught a few minor things for us to handle in advance of our arrival to Wylder for our wedding weekend. I should also mention that our wedding was KD's very first wedding at Wylder but you would have never known. She had a command of the space, back up plans for back up plans, and a warm demeanor that made us feel at ease.

When we arrived at Wylder for our wedding weekend, KD was present and available. She attended our rehearsal and worked with Christine to discuss rain plan options. We even hosted our rehearsal dinner and welcome party on site, and the staff were attentive and personable. On the day of our wedding, it began pouring rain about 15 minutes before our ceremony was set to begin. KD and Christine quickly pivoted our ceremony and cocktail hour locations and they went off without a hitch. The best part was that I didn't even need to be involved because I trusted them implicitly to handle the change. And while it wasn't the Eastern Shore day we saw when we first visited, the moody skies and covered pavilion made the perfect setting for our wedding ceremony. Throughout the reception and after party, KD checked on my husband and me, but not in an overbearing way, and the other staff, specifically Chef Chris, Charles, and Keith, were absolutely wonderful. It's also worth mentioning that Chef Chris' food is delicious and he will work with you to design menus that work for you and your guests.

We had the very best experience hosting our wedding at Wylder Tilghman Island. If you have the opportunity to host a wedding or event there, do it; the venue and the staff are incredible!”

“We had a great time at this perfectly located quaint inn. My review is 5-stars. The 5 stars are not for complete luxury or top of the line amenities. The 5 stars are for what you dont get here, no traffic noise, totally surrounded by nature, an inn that is lost in times past, owners that are committed to the rural and rustic character of the property, and modernity. We had full views of sunrises and sunsets for two days. Tons of wildlife such as birds, deer, rabbits, foxes, etc. The room was perfectly decorated as it must have been 100 years ago. The owners were very accomodating and helpful. We cant wait to go back.”

“For the price it’s a great place to stay for a weekend. I was in the area for a wedding and it was right before the bridge to Tilgman island. They have a continental breakfast included and you can rent bikes for free. I loved waking in the morning and having breakfast at the tables outside overlooking some beautiful flowers. There were some bugs in the room but it’s expected since I had a front and back door I was going in and out of.”

“We stayed at this bed-and-breakfast for two nights and three days and had a lovely time. It is just shy of Saint Michael’s so it’s a really quick trip into town from the location. The staff was super friendly, kind and helpful. We will definitely stay here again. We celebrated our anniversary here and had a terrific time. Can’t wait to come back.”
