Lovely Stay

We had a wonderful stay. A few things I would mention, if you have difficulty with stairs make sure to tell the person taking your reservations. Hopefully they will have a first-floor unit available. The building is very old, and the steps are very steep. The building has been nicely updated and is very well maintained and very, very clean. The views and the amenities are really great.

Mini vacay

Came for a one night mini vacay and it didn’t disappoint even though it rained. Everyone was friendly! So many amenities to make use of! Loved the sauna, restaurant right out our front door. Had a view of the water which we didn’t expect! Was pleasantly surprised by the whole experience.

Lovely Getaway

We had a lovely bungalow on the Chesapeake with beautiful views of the surrounding area. The staff was welcoming and helpful and he amenities were good with lots of yard games and a pretty heated pool. The sauna was an unexpected and appreciated treat. Due to the time of year, the restaurant was not open on one of the nights of our stay. Bedding was very comfortable but I do wish that, if hotels are going to give you four pillows, that they be of difference weights and thicknesses!

The property was welcoming to pets and us. The property was very pretty with lots of activities to do. The bed was dirty. Hair all inside the sheets and maybe mud? On two of the white under sheets.

Good place to destress, look out for flies

Good family trip. Generously sized room with access to saltwater pool, non motorized water sports, bikes. Friendly staff. Too many flies and mosquitos inside room, restaurant, outside. Wylder needs to invest in electric bug zappers strategically placed at the outer perimeters of the property. Restaurant menu is overpriced and uninspired.

Hotel is very charming but lacks things like a fridge in the room or ice machines available to the public. The room was small but adequate, and the grounds and restaurant were very good. The pool was dominated by parents and children who parked themselves in the pool and stayed all day. No lounge chairs were available and pool was taken. Having said all that, the hotel is very pet friendly.

We pulled up to The Wylder on Tilghman Island and immediately was taken back with its charm and character of the entire property. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. We met Lauren in reception and she was great! We spent time at Ticklers and enjoying the amenities of the property. We appreciate how dog friendly this resort is, since we love to travel with our dog. As a first time visit to the Island and Wylder, we have felt so welcome and will be planning another visit back soon!
