Nice spot with access to downtown St Michaels. The only unfortunate part of our stay was the restaurant was closed for renovations. Staff was kind and helpful during our stay and the room was very clean. Property right on the canal; so perfect for boaters too!! Also- dog friendly, we appreciated the accommodations for us and our pup.

Just left Tilghman Island Inn after a a girl's trip stay. We had the best time. The grounds are beautiful, the room was cleam, bed was comfortable, the pool was so nice, and the morning pastries are delicious. We only wished we had a refrigerator in the room BUT it didn't really matter too much since we were close to the lounge and it was not a busy week. We would recommend this place to anyone and plan to come back again at some point.

Many thanks to Tom and his staff for a wonderful and relaxing visit this past weekend to the Tilghman Island Inn. The property was idyllic and quiet and so relaxing that we spent more idle time on the property than we expected. We will certainly visit this property again in the future.

This place was awesome. If you are looking for a quiet serene weekend this is the place. The property and the town take you back to a time right out of dirty dancing. The staff is incredible, very helpful, and overly accommodating. George your awesome. The pool is nice, some features were not available (tennis and pickleball court) but the views dear god the views are spectacular, if your a bird watcher. You will love it, we saw a mother Osprey teaching it's chick how to fly. Restaurants in the town are amazing. And everything to close. The rooms comman areas were very clean. Highly recommend and we will be back.

I was not informed until after I had booked my visit that the restaurant and bar (on-site) was not open for business. And the breakfast offered was meager but nice. There were only two other rooms occupied the entire time we were there but it WAS a Sun - Tues. stay. Other restaurants were listed. Despite the above, the grounds are magnificent and right on the tributary with boats going in and out. we enjoyed our two Adirondack chairs under the Mulberry tree and the peaceful, restful time we were there.

It was a great spot though i wish we had found it sooner. When we stayed in May they had only just sold the property abd the new owners decided not to open the restaurant. This was mentioned on reserving it but should have been more prominent. But the staff was exceptionally nice, even with us getting in way past the normal check in time. Even though we got there clise to 11 pm due to traffic tobthe island there was stil someone to let us in.
