The Inn at Perry Cabin

Chesapeake Bay, United States

A clapboard colonial darling in storied St Michaels, The Inn at Perry Cabin is a bayside boutique hotel and spa with fresh, gently nautical modern interiors and smatterings of antiquity. Its gardens – 200 years old and containing Maryland's oldest holly tree – are a vision of leafy loveliness and the inn's Linden Spa alone is a reason to visit Chesapeake Bay. Ride bikes, sail or just sit around taking in the scenery and, round here, there's plenty to admire…
