PRAISE FOR OUR PROJECTS
FORBES
"The guest rooms and suites are sublime examples of restrained elegance. Stripped down to the essentials, my second-floor Deluxe King room with a shared balcony came with a low-slung bed dressed in crisp Parachute linens, clean bathroom amenities from Grown Alchemist, and a black fireplace—I had everything I needed to just relax."
Katie Chang (2023)
MICHELIN GUIDE
"Two sisters bring the cool factor to the Eastern Shore. A food industry insider and a talented interior designer decide to join forces and transform a tired bed and breakfast. It’s not the plotline for a Hallmark movie—it’s the story behind sisters Allie Balin and K.C. Lager and The Wildset Hotel in St. Michaels, Maryland."
Nancy DePalma (2024)
TRAVEL + LEISURE
"The hotel's rooms boast ultra-calming decor thanks to hand-crafted tiles, aged brass, antique and custom furniture, wide plank oak floors, and airy, neutral tones. The distinctly cool-yet-coastal, rustic-meets-modern details and wild marsh-inspired color palette define the guest rooms and common spaces."
