The resort runs as an expansive Eastern Shore lodge, where tidal marshlands and a deep-water marina line the Choptank River.
What it’s good at
Remarkable
An 18-hole championship golf course and three pools along the Choptank River shoreline.
Listed
A glass-enclosed heated Wintergarden pool and thirteen treatment suites at Sago Spa.
Listed
Drinks beside stone fireplaces at Michener's Library overlooking the tidal river grounds.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
On a 342-acre Choptank River estate, where golf fairways and tidal marshes meet open water.
The rooms
Rooms feature weathered nautical accents, offering a comfortable, low-key setting after a day on the water or the greens.
The pools
Bring a swimsuit.
Heated waters fill the Wintergarden pool under timber trusses indoors, and the crescent infinity pool looks over the Choptank.
The spa
Sago Spa houses thirteen multifunctional treatment rooms, dry saunas, steam rooms, and a Somadome meditation pod.
The gym
Cardio machines and strength equipment sit in front of tall windows looking out across the grounds.
Restaurant
Water's Edge Grill
Chefs prepare Maryland crab cakes and regional seafood in an open kitchen beside tall windows overlooking the river.
At the table
The lodge bar pours cocktails and serves casual tavern fare beneath soaring timber trusses and circular chandeliers.
How it began
The grounds once housed the Eastern Shore Hospital Center, until the state relocated the psychiatric facility to redevelop the waterfront.

The eight vibes
Design
Built around a vision. Even the door handles have a designer.
Luxe
Cared for at every turn. The bath is drawn before you ask.
Local
It could only be here. You wake up knowing where you are.
Social
Where the city goes out. The bar is full and the night is young.
Heritage
A building with a story. Once a palace, a monastery, a station.
Wellness
You leave feeling new. Rest, sweat, soak and sleep like a stone.
Classic
The city grew up with it. Same rituals, same regulars, same bar.
Resort
A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
The scene
Lively
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Central
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Secluded
A place apart: the property is the destination.
