We invite you to enjoy the serenity of the Eastern Shore
and the splendor of the Bay at our Christian country

and Breakfast Inn. With its sweeping views of both the
Chesapeake Bay and the Eastern Bay, and its beautiful sunrises
and sunsets, Wades Point Inn on the Bay offers a
memorable stay in a historic setting within the
sound of the lapping bay waters.

on Maryland's Eastern Shore.

Our 120 acres of fields and woodland provide a peaceful
setting for recreation. Spot a bald eagle resting outside
your window... or a hummingbird flit by while you read a book
in a hammock or adirondack chair. Catch a fish or net a crab
on our dock.
Swimming in the bay is delightful from spring until jellyfish
season.
There are a wide variety of activities for everyone.
- For the history buff, there are the quaint, historic villages
and towns of St. Michaels, Easton, Tilghman Island, Oxford,
Wye Mills, and many historic buildings, places and museums to

window shopping. Wonderful antique boutique and
specialty shops.
- Unique and seasonal festivals and events occur
throughout the year, so inquire about dates.

the nearby villages. Your only problem will be deciding
which restaurant to choose.

Our History
|
Gathering at Wades Point Inn
has been
popular for over a century.
|
At the end of a long scenic country lane, Wades Point Inn
welcomes you with its sprawling lawn, beautiful shade trees,
balconies and screened porches. It was named for Zachary Wade who
received the land grant in 1657.
In 1890, the Kemp family added facilities for summer guests and
Wades Point Farm became a popular summer resort and guest house. It remained so
for close to 100 years.
The present owners, the Feiler family, arrived in 1984 and
in 1990, named the new annex, the "Mildred T. Kemp" guest house, for the
gracious woman, "Miss Mildred", who managed the Inn for sixty-three years.
With its picturesque, historic setting the Inn is ideal for
couples or families. Artists, writers, weddings, executive
retreats, and seminars are also welcome.
The 80 acres of farmland is farmed organically as it was in
the 1600's. Come and gather eggs from the 300 or so free-range
chickens or watch the goats being milked.
Whether jogging, walking, or birdwatching, we hope you enjoy
our nature trail. Please be careful on wet or uneven ground
and stay on the road, trail or marked areas. Trails are marked.
Keep you eyes opened for; deer, rabbit, red fox, racoon,
opossum, terrapin, bald eagle, great blue heron, dove, geese,
swan, osprey and Chessie.
