WATERMARK...A Bed and Breakfast

by guest Cindy L. Kern, Country Discovery Magazine

Butterflies, dragonflies, frogs, birds and the Chesapeake Bay. What more could you ask for in a restful vacation for two?
Just call "Mr. Mac". He's the sole proprietor of the Watermark Bed and Breakfast located just outside Historic St. Michaels, Maryland on the Eastern Shore of the Chesapeake Bay. Mr. Mac has teamed with Mother Nature to create a wonderfully secluded, romantic getaway.
Your stay at this private, rustic-looking log home right on the bay is complete with an in-ground swimming pool in the yard and Jacuzzi located in your own glass enclosed porch. The door to your suite is adorned with a duck head door pull. From there you enter the sitting area and hallway which is complete with furniture that Mr. Mac has hand-crafted. The bedroom is tastefully decorated to complement the feel of being in another world - away from life's hustle and bustle. A queen-size bed and remote control cable television remind you that you are still attached to present day, but the fantastic view of the Chesapeake Bay quickly makes you forget it all!
The Watermark Bed and Breakfast is located on State Route 33 approximately 7 miles south of St. Michaels. A secluded oasis amidst gum trees is complete with three stocked ponds, a waterfall, a wildflower field and a dock on the Bay. Bring your favorite book or magazine and sit a spell while you soak up the tranquility that these peaceful, nature filled spots have to offer as a variety of wildlife calls these 5 acres home. In fact, Watermark Bed and Breakfast was certified in 1992 by the State of Maryland Resource Conservation Service as a Maryland Wild Acre program for the care and protection of Maryland's wildlife.
And if communing with nature isn't enough, there are many nearby areas to enjoy sightseeing and shopping. St. Michael's offers a variety of specialty and unique shoppes where you're bound to find something to tickle your fancy. South of St. Michael's is Tilghman Island boasting its bay cruises. You can learn about the Bay's ecosystem or perhaps charter a midnight champagne cruise! Need some exercise? Golf courses are aplenty in this area of the Eastern Shore. Whatever you choose to do, keep in mind that Maryland's Eastern Shore is known for its seafood. Come sample the wonderful selections that the many varied restaurants in this area have to offer.

The Watermark Bed and Breakfast is open year-round with many special events throughout the year. Don't forget that November is the Waterfowl Festival in the Bay area! Mark your calendars now.
