    I'm not a big fan of lobster in my scrambled eggs. The staff happily prepared the eggs without them. The options were a bit too foo-foo for this country boy:)

    THE STAFF WAS VERY PROFESSIONAL AND FRIENDLY. My wife and I were very pleased with everything about our accommodations. I think it was the cleanest hotel I've ever been to. I told my wife at breakfast that everything was so clean and bright that I expected God to walk in the door and say "welcome to heaven".

    St. Michael's, MD Boutique Inn that will exceed your expections!

    We would have enjoyed a Keurig in our room. One of us had to get dressed and venture outside of our room each morning to the lobby to grab a morning cup of coffee or tea. Additionally, it would have been great to have a small in-room refrigerator to store some snacks or beverages during our stay. Our stay at The Oaks was during the early part of the week. Unfortunately, their bar is only open Wednesday through the weekend as the venue is largely a wedding venue. The owner happened to be on-site during our stay and was more than willing to provide adult beverages well outside standard hours. We loved seeing Henry, The Oaks Waterfront K9 "fur-bassador." The venue a fantastic St. Michael's boutique inn that couples should not pass up for a romantic weekend away.

    The breakfast was delicious and the wait staff was attentive. We stayed for several days, so we would've enjoyed more variety in the breakfast menu. The room was cozy and beautifully decorated. The bedding was luxurious and we thoroughly enjoyed relaxing on the dock. The staff, especially Lamond, is polite, professional, and dedicated to providing an exemplary experience.

    There was nothing to dislike. Just a suggestion…. they are trying to meld the sometimes competing goals of catering to an event oriented clientele vs a quiet weekend for individuals. To do both is difficult in a venue this size. But as it develops (it is newly renovated) I hope they can tailor the services ( e. g. a small spa would be great on- site) for both groups with the same degree of attention. It has loads of potential….needs a new pool!

    Beautifully maintained property in a tranquil setting. Very friendly and helpful staff who were attentive to all needs. We had a delightful stay for a weekend.

    Once the bar and dinner options are fully operational, it will be hard to find any improvements to suggest. Loved our stay.

    This is a location designed for perfect weddings, and the scenic environment and quality of rooms, buildings are top quality. Only recently opened, it was effectively a B&B, but the lovely staff led by Linda stepped up and made sure that we were comfortable at ALL times, including producing a glass of wine before we we taken off to our dinner reservation by the complimentary town shuttle in to St Michael's. The breakfast was excellent and promises well for bar and dinner options being planned (in time for our next visit?). Coffee was always on tap in the lobby, usually along with some muffins or cookies. It was easy to feel spoiled.

    We stayed in the cottage. There were definitely some deferred maintenance items i.e unfunctioning blinds, broken rings on the curtains. The items in the kitchen seemed disorganized. The Wi-Fi signal was poor or non-existent.

    The staff couldn’t have been more accommodating particularly the woman who served breakfast in the morning. I think she was a manager.

    We had a wonderful weekend staying at the Oaks. The staff is amazing. The breakfasts were fantastic. Loved the "extras"! Wine & cheese in the afternoon, cookies in your room, Joe & the shuttle to St. Michaels, all the recommendations were extremely helpful! I took a beautiful moonlit picture that I posted with this review. Would stay again!

    An amazing early week getaway!

    An amazing early week getaway! At first, I was concerned when my wife booked our Monday to Thursday vacation at a wedding venue. I was very pleasantly surprised to experience an amazingly wonderful vacation! I discovered and confirmed that, as a wedding venue, they are not always very busy from Sunday to Thursday. During our week, there were four other couples or families on the property. We only saw them at breakfast or at a distance on the property. The rest of the time we felt like we had the entire property to ourselves. The breakfasts were wonderful! We were given options and our selections were prepared specifically for us, at the time of our request. Being gluten intolerant, we discovered that the Oaks staff was very knowledgeable about gluten sensitivities and were able to provide entrées to meet our dietary restrictions that were very tasty and appealing! We were fully prepared to experience all kinds of mosquitoes and insects, being on the Eastern shore of Maryland in August. To our surprise, we did not see any mosquitoes, spiders, or any other types of insects throughout our entire stay. I even looked under the Adirondack chairs and recliners in the pool area and around the property and did not see any insects or spiders of any kind. We asked and were told that the property is sprayed regularly. The staff (especially Lamond) were exceptionally supportive throughout our entire stay. The entire property was clean and well-kept. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and highly recommend this property!

    Just that the 3hour and 18min. drive I anticipated (NY to the Oaks) took more than 5 hours. Don't think you can do much about that.

    Our room was exceptionally spacious with a sizeable balcony out front that I wish we had had more time to take advantage of. The staff was very accommodating and breakfast was a lovely surprise each morning. The property was more beautiful than I could have imagined.
