The feeling is like staying in your grandmother's home (for me anyway). For our evening's entertainment, we sat on the front porch and watched the island's residents walk by or zip by in the golf carts. The restaurant serves plenty of food, family style. Everything is pretty much all you care to eat with the exception of the crab cakes, where you are limited to 2 (which is reasonable). I really liked the clam fritters.

I recommend bringing bug spray if you plan to do much walking around the island as flies are bad. The restaurant was ok. The crab cakes are really good. The other good, which there was a lot of was not much to write home about. (Yet here I am yelping) Ham, corn pudding, string beans, potato salad, cold slaw, beets, apple sauce. The rolls were good. They finish the meal off with a slice of cake that was yummy. This was good for a one time trip. The night we stayed it was the only place open on the whole island. Everything was closed for graduation at the local school. If you want a quite get away and to be separated from the outside world for a day or two. This is the place to come.

We were greeted and got a tour that justified its history. We did have perfect weather conditions, so when we came back from dinner, we enjoyed ourselves for a little walk around the gardens and lake. The view from our balcony was stunning...you really have to pinch yourself...just making sure you're not dreaming...it made us feel happy as can be. The next morning...David prepared a beautiful spread of breakfast. Crab &Swiss cheese omelette, roasted Yukon potato, turkey bacon, country sausage, the bread basket had lavish varieties and customed as well towards my girl who has celiac disease with gluten free options, Room tempered butter, I think even the raspberry marmalade was homemade, fresh berries...I mean nothing was missing and it was put together with such care. Since we were the first of the season...David was able to join us. What a great morning we had thanks to him...thank you so very much!! A must see venue, that is highly recommended!

The innkeeper, Kim, was very hospitable, warmly welcomed us as we arrived, prepared a cozy wine down time before we head out to the town. She gave us lots of recommendation for places to eat and things to do and all were fantastic! Her breakfast was scrumptious- yogurt, berries, homemade granolas, egg frittata, avo toast, amazing strawberry cream cheese French toast... She started us with a delicious cup of coffee each day (specially blended for the Inn by the local roaster) at our bedroom-so good that we bought 4 packages for our fam/friends!

To get to Smith Island you need a ferry from the town of Crisfield. Would recommend the Island Belle II. A good size boat where you won't feel the waves too much. Once on the island only a few restaurants were open. Most were closed by 4pm. We made sure to purchase everything we would need to cook and drink before boarding the ferry. Staying in this gorgeous and serene house definitely elevated our small girl's trip. The house is newly renovated and tastefully decorated. We found it super clean with all the amenities we would need for making coffee, cooking/baking, washing our clothes. There were bikes available to peruse the island. There were 4 bedrooms total each nicely decorated with their own bathrooms. One of the bedrooms upstairs was a master suite with its own private bath and personal balcony. The bedrooms were all cozy and comfortable. The biggest draw for me was the wraparound porch on the 1st and 2nd floor gifting us with beautiful views of Chesapeake Bay as well as sunsets. Betty Tyler, the owner, was very personable and would answer our questions. She facilitated the delivery of steamed crabs one night for our dinner. Overall, a perfect location if you need a quarantine getaway on the East coast.

Tammy greeted me at the front porch upon check-in Friday afternoon and immediately I felt right at home with her. We chatted for a while and she told me about a few places to see in town and gave me a few dinner options. I met another couple staying the weekend and chatted with them and Tammy gave me a tour of the property and a few brochures. My room, the Virginia Wilson, was adorable and cozy with red and wood hues, a comfy bed, and corner bookcases. Ah, adorable! I had dinner at The Shanty and walked around the town into the shops where everyone was just as friendly as Tammy had been. I returned to the inn to relax and bumped into Tammy and her husband, Jim, while getting something to drink at the little kitchenette space for guests which has an ice machine, wine, soft drinks, water, tea, etc. We chatted for a while and they suggested a few movies from their DVD collection for the evening. The next morning breakfast was served promptly at 0830 to all 7 guests (8 is the max for the inn but since I was a single there were only 7) and we enjoyed a warm egg soufflé (YUM) with some homemade salsa and jams and fresh fruits and orange juice, coffee and teas. Tammy and Jim talked to us and we all made pleasant conversation together about plans for the day and suggestions. I had planned to drive to Chincoteague but decided instead to explore the town, shop, walk the beach, have some brown dog ice cream (it's the best, really) and lay out on the porch to read a book. Tammy and Jim had to leave for a reunion so Erica, another innkeeper was there, she's younger and super friendly. She welcomed me back in the afternoon after my walk and spent a little time talking with me on the front porch. I then napped and read a book for a few hours before walking to the beach, taking photos, and listening to live music in the park right behind the inn. Jim had left folding chairs out for us. I spent my second night reading on the screened porch and met the neighbor who came to make sure everything was OK since Tammy and Jim were away for the night. Erica returned early in the morning and served us all ooey gooey French toast with fresh berries and bacon. Yum! Again, we had a pleasant conversation at the table of seven with four new guests from the day before and three of us who already knew one another. The location is excellent - it's right on the corner of Tazwell and Peach and you can easily walk to all the shops and dining (5-10 minutes) and the beach (5 mins). The big park is also right behind the inn and you can walk in the lovely gazebo or under the vined lattice awnings carefully kept by the garden ladies of the town. I loved it. I didn't have to start my car once the entire weekend. I am charmed by both Cape Charles and Bay Haven, which truly was a haven for me when I needed a weekend to recharge my batteries, I can't wait to come back again!

Our hostess, Carol, was very friendly and knowledgeable about the home and the area. Breakfasts were an absolute treat, both delicious and filling. Carol kindly made a fantastic gluten-free cinnamon apple coffee cake, which I really appreciated, and even my husband (who usually doesn't do gluten-free willingly) said it was top-notch.

When I arrived I went straight to my room and dropped off my luggage then roamed around the property. I felt extremely safe at that moment and for the rest of my stay. The property from the moment we turned onto the driveway was breath taking. I sat on the porch waiting for my friend to arrive. Upon her arrival she was also impressed and so happy we chose to stay here. The rooms were great. I was at Cobb Island. Roomy bathroom, air conditioner window unit, ceiling fan, large windows, comfortable bedding and a curtain to draw in front of the door for added privacy. My friend stayed in the Rogue Island suite. There was no air conditioner in the room but two fans available. The sun comes shining into that room heavily in the morning. Nice view of the water. Bathroom is a little small, but perfect for one. The room itself is perfect for one, maybe two if it's a short stay. My friends words on her stay: "The room was smaller, but comfortable and perfect if we weren't planning on spending too much time. It wasn't too small, just smaller -perfect for a single occupancy. The grounds were gorgeous and I appreciated the hands off approach. The company in the morning was lovely. I loved all of the different amenities and areas of the house we had access to to suit our needs. Breakfast in the morning was simple and perfect. The first morning was this amazing quiche.... Hoping to get that recipe to add to my cookbook, sliced strawberries and coffee. The second morning was a scrumptious banana bread, sliced strawberries and a simply seasoned fried egg. It was all delightful. You have access to the kitchen whenever you want. We brought lunch back and ate it outside. There is a fire pit out back you can use. Some notes: there are some fine tuning things that could be taken care of by a grounds keeper or anyone else. Trimming back the foliage going down to the dock, spraying for bees in the white covered "shed" near the water, clearing leaves from the pool, replacing burnt light bulbs and a major dusting inside and outside, especially outside on all the porches. Otherwise it was very clean. In the end we enjoyed our stay and look forward to stay again!! I'm easy to book again.
