Where a bayside cool retreat awaits: a rebirth of an 1898 original boarding house where watermen ran the docks and crabs were piled high on picnic tables. The Wylder Hotel Tilghman Island, located on a 3-mile island on the Chesapeake Bay, is a remake of an iconic property. It is an all-season escape that honors hardworking fisherman of yesteryear in an irreverent manner. This waterfront hotel makes you feel right at home with its welcoming vibe and great offerings: Tickler’s Crab Shack & Restaurant, Bar Mumbo, a private marina with 25 boat slips, charter fishing trips, and plenty of fun-filled activities. Wylder Hotel Tilghman Island is an awesome location for overnight guests, locals, as well as private gatherings and celebrations. A short drive from Baltimore, Washington D.C. and Philadelphia, Tilghman Island is a relaxed, yet exciting Eastern Shore escape. Drive through St. Michael’s, past the farmland, corn stalks and pumpkin patches, and over the drawbridge across Knapp’s Narrow, and you’ll be on our 3-mile stretch of salty paradise. From charter fishing, to sailing and kayaking, Tilghman Island life is built around the Chesapeake Bay and its bounty of pleasures. Crack your blue crab in the glow of our super-sized sunset, wash it down with a cold one and give yourself a high five from us here at Tilghman Island.

Couples in particular like the location – they rated it 9.4 for a two-person trip.

    The overall experience was amazing! Breakfast was typical hotel breakfast and ended up being better than I expected. They had bagels, cream cheese, smoked salmon, coffee, fruit, yogurt, granola and cereal. Nothing fancy but it served it purpose....

    The location was very serene and relaxing. We really enjoyed being able to lounge on the grounds without much disturbance or noise. The breakfast was modest with nice ingredients. The rooms were comfortable if a but small.
