Located in the small, secluded fishing village of Wenona, at the
southern end of Deal Island, MD. "Pieceful" Cottage sits just 100 yards
back from the Chesapeake Bay. This is your chance to enjoy a truly
relaxing getaway and a view of the most spectacular sunsets over the
Chesapeake Bay.

"Pieceful" Cottage has been recently expanded with the
addition of two new bedrooms, a second full bathroom with a whirlpool
tub, and a large two story deck. The deck features a screened-in
lower deck and a private upper deck with 270 degree view of the bay
and harbor. From the upper deck, you will find one of the best sunset
views of the bay. We love to sit and relax with a glass of wine from
this deck, at the end of the day. To the southwest, the lights of
Smith Island twinkle in the distance. And on a clear night, the stars
shine brightly without the distraction of the city lights.

Deal Island is a historic fishing village on the Eastern Shore of Maryland. Home of the Skipjack festival each September. It is an ideal location for sport fishing, kayaking, and biking. The Deal Island Wildlife Management area protects the birds and other wildlife and provides ideal areas for birding and canoeing.

Nearby Deal Island Wildlife Refuge is a real birder's paradise. You
can hike the marked trails or paddle your canoe or kayak through the
marshes. Or bike from the cottage to the refuge and enjoy the sights
along the way. Bring your own equipment or we'll put you in touch
with local outfitters.

There is a free public boat ramp, located just behind the cottage, in
picturesque Wenona Harbor. Bring your own boat and trailer, so you
can spend the days fishing and the nights relaxing at the cottage.
Wenona is a real waterman's harbor where historic Skipjacks still work
for their daily catch of oysters from September to April and the crabs
run all summer. The Skipjack race in Deal Island Harbor is an Annual
Event held each Labor Day weekend.

The fishing in Tangier Sound is well known, with anglers bringing in
a large variety of fish, including Striped Bass (or Rockfish). A
number of charter fishing boats run out of Wenona Harbor. Just ask and
we'll help you make a reservation.

Summer is crab season, when you can enjoy a day on the water,
catch your own Maryland crabs, and bring them home for dinner.
Steam them in Old Bay Seasoning and beer, then enjoy eating your catch
at the large picnic table on the screened-in lower deck.

You will find a small public beach in the Deal Island Harbor, where
you can swim, fish, or collect sea shells and sea glass. We always
bring our dog along with us for a swim.

If you are missing the ocean, Ocean City, Maryland, and
Chincoteague/Assateague, Virginia are both just a short one hour
drive away.

Quilt groups and other crafters are always welcome to come for a stay at "Pieceful" Cottage. We provide irons, ironing boards, a cutting board and table,
fold-up work tables, chairs, electric cords and a workroom large
enough for 6 quilters or crafters.   The owner is a quilter and will help with
information on local quilt shops.

So bring your boat, kayaks, bikes, and fishing poles and
enjoy a relaxing week at "Pieceful" Cottage!

What our customers are saying!

I think I can speak for all four of us when I say that we had a great time in a wonderful location that was perfectly appointed.  Our retreat was an unqualified success - from the hours of uninterrupted sewing to the fabulous sunsets and the serenity of the birds.  Thank you for making your cottage available for groups like ours to rent.  During our drive north, there was much discussion about another retreat, so I anticipate contacting you in the future to set another date.
