  • Introduction

    Ruffled Duck Inn Bed and Breakfast - Oxford, MarylandThe Ruffled Duck Inn is nestled in the historic district of the charming Eastern Shore Village of Oxford, Maryland. This completely renovated historic inn is the light hearted vision of yachtsmen Libby and Danny Cole. The blending of traditional and eclectic décor throughout the inn reflects their lives on the water as well as the rich history of the village that was once Maryland's largest port of call.

    After a good night's rest in one of the comfortable new beds and a gourmet breakfast, feel free to get creative in our art studio. Examine historical charts and lore in the cozy library within reach of a fully stocked coffee/tea bar. Take a stroll through our gardens or just relax on the old front porch swing.

    The Ruffled Duck Inn is situated within walking distance from public beaches and across from Towne Park and the beautiful Tred Avon River. Guests can take in a sunset over bay waters from our front porch swing or walk around the back to world famous boatyards such as Cutts & Case or Hinckley Yachts. Walk or bike to the swimming beach or tennis courts, stop at our little museum or the library. Golf, hunting, fishing, historic and nature tours, kayaking, antiquing, biking, sailing and motor boating can be arranged for you. Just let us know what will unruffle your feathers and we will point you in the right direction. It is our pleasure to show you why, of all the destinations we have traveled, we made Oxford our home port.
