Very peaceful and relaxing. The sunrises were incomparable. Grilling, swimming in the Bay right off the deck, playing soccer on the fields behind the cabin, enjoying the breeze and the every-changing sights and sounds...
The cabin is cozy yet very comfortable for four people.

The minute I walked in, I knew Simplicity Cottage would be the perfect escape! I chose to spend time over the Thanksgiving holiday with my Jack Russell terriers. It was lovely, with all the comforts of home. The cozy fireplace was a godsend during the chilly evenings... and the sunrises... unbelievably beautiful right over the water. I didn’t realize it but in the guestbook there were wonderful stories of other guests, some of them who return again and again. I may also join that club. A truly special place!

We loved staying at Simplicity cottage on Tilghman Island! Perfect for the two of us and our son and his SO and dog. We enjoyed hanging out in the backyard, the dock and on the water on our rented kayak and SUPs! Our dog enjoyed visiting with neighbor dog Clyde as well as chasing the many deer and rabbits nearby. The naturalized built in rock 'steps' in the rip rap was perfect for both us and the dog's access to the water. Loved the views of the water from inside the house and we enjoyed everything so much we never turned on the TV - the perfect vacation! Used the grill a couple of times and enjoyed the $1 crabs at Character's Bridge tiki bar on Monday/Tuesdays - best deal ever.
If you're looking for a beautiful slow, quiet place to vacation and unwind then this is the place for you.

Wonderful cottage in an idyllic setting. Couldn't be more beautiful or peaceful. Right on the water, half a mile from the main road and surrounded by farms. Great location for a dog. Has everything you need for a really relaxing vacation. We saw eagles, and there is an osprey nest on the dock next store. You can swim right off the property as long as there are no jellyfish. We're coming back.

ESVR contacts and information are first rate. The cottage was just the right size for the three of us, two humans and a canine. Hard to imagine a better and more tranquil setting. Everything was as promised, clean and orderly. We enjoyed dock sitting, sunrises, and the peace and quiet. If it hadn't been for those pesky little black ants it would have been just about perfect. We'll definitely consider it next trip. Our first trip to Md. Eastern Shore was a very good one.

Map
Tilghman Island, MD, USA
Tilghman Island is about 3 miles long and is separated from the mainland by Knapps Narrows. A drawbridge connects the two and is easily accessible. Tilghman is about 11 miles west of St. Michaels, so it is still within an easy day trip reach for the more touristy aspects of MD's Eastern Shore, but for those looking for that true 'away from it all' feeling in an authentic, unspoiled environment, look no further than Tilghman Island. Known for seafood, hospitality and boating and fishing, the island is also home to the only commercial sailing fleet in North America, the Chesapeake Bay Skipjacks. Once over a hundred in number, the nine remaining Skipjacks are moored on Tilghman Island in Dogwood Harbor.
