Imagine the perfect escape! When your world closes in on you, plot an escape to ours. Pack up and leave on a whim. In no time all all you can be here in our refuge, where our world will seem lights years away from yours.

Once here, your choices for recreation abound. Do nothing except read or relax and soak in the quiet serenity of our cove. Go shopping, biking, sightseeing, take an eco-tour, paddle around the creek in a canoe, swim and sun in our pool, or play a round of gold - all of it close by...convenient and easy.

Our lodging choices include graciously appointed guestrooms, some with panoramic waterviews, most with whirlpool tubs and gas fireplaces, and a separate guest cottage on the water.

Your day starts with a gourmet country breakfast. (The word ''sumptuous'' is barely adequate!) Dining options for lunch and dinner encompass a wide range of excellent restaurants just a short drive away in St. Michaels or Easton.

Off site meetings, conferences or corporate retreats are by definition all business. When it comes to coordinating the details of your gathering, so are we. Our location between Easton and St. Michaels makes us very easy to reach. For private events, our seating capacity of 300, waterside setting and renowned cuisine make for memorable events of all kinds and sizes.

Planning a wedding? The Oaks offers ''A Portrait of a Perfect Wedding''. The setting is magical and entirely yours. Please call our event coordinator to take a tour of our property to discuss your special celebration.

WE LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING YOU!
