A Weekend in St. Michaels, MD

The Inn at Perry Cabin has a plethora of activities included in the resort fee both on and off the water. From Perry Cabin's dock, you can take out a kayak or paddle board and explore the harbor or coves along the river.

During the warmer months, an infinity edge pool with poolside food and drink service provides a break from the heat. For those wanting to be active, there is a well equipped gym and three Har-Tru tennis courts. Additionally, just down the road is the stunning golf course, The Links at Perry Cabin, designed by Pete Dye. Finally, the resort offers many activities such as bingo, painting, and a daily champagne toast.

Just next door to the hotel is the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum, a waterfront, interactive museum set on 18 acres. Since its opening in 1965, the museum has told the stories of people from the entire Chesapeake region. The museum also showcases the connection between boating and the oyster, fishing and crabbing industry. This museum is very interactive and lets you explore old boats, a lighthouse from 1879 and even rake for oysters.

Patriot Cruises, a 65-70 minute narrated historical cruise, is another favorite activity. The ride down the Miles River is extremely scenic and full of information on the surrounding area.
