Inn at Perry Cabin

What the classifiers highlight

Built in 1812 on the Miles River for Navy purser Samuel Hambleton, the inn now pairs its historic bones with lighter, more streamlined furnishings that let the Eastern Shore views lead. Grounds include croquet and bocce courts, a zero-edge pool, and a Pete Dye golf course; Stars serves Chesapeake-inflected American fare on the terrace. Forbes rates the property Four Star.
