Bed and Breakfast Description

Leaving the posh confines of St. Michaels, cross the drawbridge to Tilghman Island.Turn down Gibsontown Road, and you’ll see the Chesapeake Wood Duck Inn. You have arrived in another world, with the slow, serene lifestyle enjoyed by the residents of this remote Eastern Shore fishing village, located in the Chesapeake Bay.

Inside the charming Victorian-style inn, expect a warm welcome from hosts, who have restored the 1890 structure to an intimate hostelry sitting on a beautifully landscaped property with six guest rooms and a small cottage overlooking scenic Dogwood Harbor. Their modest but thoughtfully decorated Inn featuring the original art by Maureen Bannon has attracted accolades from afar, ranging from the New York Times, the Washington Post, Good Morning America to AAA and Mobil.

We take great pride in our outstanding reputation earned for fine dining. From the homemade baked breads, elegant desserts and cheeses, to the three-course gourmet breakfast offered daily and finally, to our optional four course dinner offered on Saturday evenings.

Breakfast is enjoyed and complementary to all Inn guests, where as Dinner on Saturday is only available for 8-10 Inn Guests by reservation only. These dinners have become very popular amongst all guests, so please reserve early to avoid disappointment.
