What guests think
At Wylder Tilghman Island, travelers consistently highlight the scenic bayside setting and relaxed vibe, friendly staff, and a wide range of outdoor amenities like a heated saltwater pool, sauna, fire pits, bikes, and water activities.
Rooms vary: some have lovely water views and comfortable bedding, while others are small, dated, noisy, or carry musty or smoke odors, with occasional Wi-Fi/TV issues and steep stairs without elevators. Dining at the on-site crab shack/restaurant is often praised and the continental breakfast is decent, but hot options can be limited and the restaurant may be closed on some days, especially in the off-season. Facilities are generally enjoyed, though guests note occasional pool downtime, event-related crowding, a resort fee, and limited area dining on certain weekdays. Expect a tranquil waterfront retreat with a few trade-offs.

I wasn't happy about the $44 "resort fee", since we couldn't use the pool (off season) the chairs, but the bicycles were available.

Wylder is a pet-friendly hotel with a beautiful location on the Chesapeake Bay. The sauna and cold plunge are wonderful, so relaxing. We managed to get a day and a half in lounging on the expansive green lawn, relaxing by the fire pit before the weather changed. The salt water pool is also a gem. It was so wonderful being able to swim and soak and then not emerge reeking of chlorine. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ the only downside: we had a king bungalow right by the deck and a wedding party took over both the pool and the deck for an entire day. Try to book around any wedding parties if you are looking for peace and quiet. Thirty people just lounging and drinking in the shared common areas kept me up until 2 am. And they were drunk so there is no reasoning with drunk people celebrating!

We stayed one night, not taking full advantage of Wylder: it's more than a hotel (yet maybe less than a resort: you would be happy not venturing off the property for a day, but you might not camp out there without other activities in mind). Upon arrival, there was still time for us to take out two kayaks and play some cornhole; we ate at the excellent crab shack on site and enjoyed smores at one of the firepits that night. We thought the continental breakfast was above average. The entire space and layout is beautiful. Had we stayed longer, we would have taken a bicycle ride, enjoyed the pool, and had a sauna. Our room was fine, the bathroom had a toilet and a tub with a showerhead (but no bath spigot, so not really set up for a soak) -- the sink was in the room proper. The light switches were oddly placed. And we would have liked to have rinsed off sand at a shower or footbath by the shore. This is a bit nitpicky: the point is that Wylder has many great features but is missing some of the conveniences and little touches that would make things "seamless."

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!

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.

The common areas were very nice and the staff was lovely, but the rooms need work. The a/c was very loud, there was a musty smell, no shelves in the bathroom, the door had large gaps, fixtures were very old and cheap, etc. This place has clearly been given a makeover, but it's skin deep.

It is located approximately 15 min outside St. Michael’s. We had a waterfront bungalow and did not have a minimum 2 or more night stay which we prefer. Restaurant has water views and food was very good. The rooms very clean, beautiful property, quiet and staff very accommodating. Also they had a waterfront fire pit blazing and ready for us to enjoy. There are beautiful views and fresh air and outdoor pit games, too. Will definitely book here again.

We had a good quiet stay on a cold and rainy February night, we ate at Ticklers and the food was very good. In the morning we went to a nearby country style breakfast joint called, “two of by sea”, pretty darn good too and the staff was great. I’d like to see this place peak season. Everything in the hotel was recently updated, waterfront, the room was clean and came with a bottle of wine, my wife and I had a great night and no complaints. The property is an old style water town type resort, sort of bring back to a hotel/bed and breakfast of the mid 20th century. Very unique place, we will visit again.

My wife and I had a wonderful 2 days away for my birthday. Highlights were the food at Crabbies (best crab cakes I've ever tasted), morning coffee on the pier, the salt water pool and the sunset cruise. The only downside was that there were a ton of kids there. We have 3 kids of our own and were hoping for a more adult atmosphere, but what are you going to do? Oh yeah, my favorite thing of all was taking the complimentary beach cruises to the sputh point of the island. It was a great 6 mile bike ride. The wifi and tv had poor connections, but I embraced being off the grid for a weekend. Place would be perfect if it was adults only.

The walls are paper thin. You could hear your neighbors talking at normal volumes, hear them snore and the tv's were very loud and attached to the paper thin walls. In addition to the noise, the mattress was rock solid and the pillows were hard and small. Needless to say, we didn't sleep very well.

Liked the location on the Chesapeake Bay. Did not like the fact that the tv in the room did not work - no way to turn the volume up so could not hear anything from the tv. No coffee maker in the room - a huge gaping hole in their hospitality. Dangerous steps leading up to the room. No elevators in the building. The food in their restaurant was good, however. Would not stay there again.

We had a great time at the Wylder Inn on Tilghman Island (20-21 May). This is a great spot for a quick getaway, and there are many things to do on site and in the area if you want to stay longer. The staff was welcoming and responsive from our arrival to departure when our key was collected from our car so we didn't have to get out in the rain. The Continental Breakfast had a variety of items to start the day right and the fire pits provided a relaxing venue at the end of the day. We look forward to staying here again in the future.

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!

Beautiful location on the water and room decor. However, mixed up rooms and didn't provide the room that was requested. Also the service at the ticklers crab shack was not very accommodating or friendly. They charge $3 slice for cutting birthday cake which we were willing to pay for but didn't end up on our check so we had to step off property to enjoy a birthday cake which is a ridic policy - add more desserts to the menu and won't need to bring a cake from an outside vendor. Also, was rude when asking for silverware to use for the birthday cake.

Staff is friendly and professional. Prefer a hot breakfast in the morning. Continental breakfast was well maintained by staff. Good bartender. Two bed in 104 gave me back pain on both nights.

Wylder is a pet-friendly hotel with a beautiful location on the Chesapeake Bay. The sauna and cold plunge are wonderful, so relaxing. We managed to get a day and a half in lounging on the expansive green lawn, relaxing by the fire pit before the weather changed. The salt water pool is also a gem. It was so wonderful being able to swim and soak and then not emerge reeking of chlorine. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ the only downside: we had a king bungalow right by the deck and a wedding party took over both the pool and the deck for an entire day. Try to book around any wedding parties if you are looking for peace and quiet. Thirty people just lounging and drinking in the shared common areas kept me up until 2 am. And they were drunk so there is no reasoning with drunk people celebrating!

When I booked the days there, I was not aware that Monday and Tuesday the restaurants were closed. Also, all of the restaurants in the area were closed on Monday and Tuesday as well. I had to drive 16 miles to get dinner at 16 miles back to my hotel. I was disappointed with that.

It is located approximately 15 min outside St. Michael’s. We had a waterfront bungalow and did not have a minimum 2 or more night stay which we prefer. Restaurant has water views and food was very good. The rooms very clean, beautiful property, quiet and staff very accommodating. Also they had a waterfront fire pit blazing and ready for us to enjoy. There are beautiful views and fresh air and outdoor pit games, too. Will definitely book here again.

We had a good quiet stay on a cold and rainy February night, we ate at Ticklers and the food was very good. In the morning we went to a nearby country style breakfast joint called, “two of by sea”, pretty darn good too and the staff was great. I’d like to see this place peak season. Everything in the hotel was recently updated, waterfront, the room was clean and came with a bottle of wine, my wife and I had a great night and no complaints. The property is an old style water town type resort, sort of bring back to a hotel/bed and breakfast of the mid 20th century. Very unique place, we will visit again.

Dining
Tickler’s/Crab Shack generally earns praise for tasty food and drinks, though some find prices high. The continental breakfast is decent but light on hot options, and the restaurant may be closed on certain days, especially in the off-season.

We stayed one night, not taking full advantage of Wylder: it's more than a hotel (yet maybe less than a resort: you would be happy not venturing off the property for a day, but you might not camp out there without other activities in mind). Upon arrival, there was still time for us to take out two kayaks and play some cornhole; we ate at the excellent crab shack on site and enjoyed smores at one of the firepits that night. We thought the continental breakfast was above average. The entire space and layout is beautiful. Had we stayed longer, we would have taken a bicycle ride, enjoyed the pool, and had a sauna. Our room was fine, the bathroom had a toilet and a tub with a showerhead (but no bath spigot, so not really set up for a soak) -- the sink was in the room proper. The light switches were oddly placed. And we would have liked to have rinsed off sand at a shower or footbath by the shore. This is a bit nitpicky: the point is that Wylder has many great features but is missing some of the conveniences and little touches that would make things "seamless."

We loved our room and the property. Our only complaint was the breakfast. It did not look like the pictures and while a lot of fresh fruit there were no breakfast meat or egg option. . I was looking forward to the bagels and salmon shown in the picture. It would not deter us from coming back at all, will just be prepared next time to have other breakfast options.

We loved all the amenities this hotel had to offer and the food at Ticklers was AMAZING. We will definitely be returning in the near future!

Love love love this place. Staff were amazing, room super comfortable, restaurant delicious. Loved the nightly bonfires. Did I mention how great the staff was? Only complaint- a bike garage is needed. That is prime cycling territory and having to store bikes in the car was… inconvenient.
