MARYLAND · CHESAPEAKE BAY · A SNEAK PEEK
Ducks on the Chesapeake, and a historic island lodge.
A private stretch of Chesapeake Bay shoreline, a lodge that’s been welcoming hunters since 1958, and the kind of winter mornings duck hunters dream about.

THE HUNTS
The hunts & the water
Duck hunting
Hunt the morning flight, head back to the lodge for a hot lunch, then out again for the afternoon. Supper, the fire, and do it all again tomorrow. It’s about as good as a winter week gets.
Fishing & crabbing
Fish or crab right off the lodge’s 105-foot pier, with famous Maryland blue crabs right off the property. Two miles down the road, local watermen sell fresh crabs and oysters straight off the boat each morning.
On the water
Paddle the marsh by kayak or canoe, or bring your own boat and explore the bay. It’s a great trip for non-hunters, too.

WHERE YOU’LL STAY
A historic hunt club on the bay
The lodge started as a 1900s home and grew through the 1920s and 1930s to host gatherings of hunters and friends. Every corner has a story.
Seven bedrooms are each named for a duck. The great room is 27 feet square with 14-foot ceilings, a towering fireplace and French doors to a screened porch. The historic bar, antique furniture and a cupola with views over the whole island round it out, along with a full kitchen for big group meals.
