Meetings
When do your biggest and brightest ideas come?
When you’re singing in the shower? When you’re driving in your car? Maybe. We bet that the really great thoughts rarely (if ever) come when you’re cooped up in an oak and naugahyde conference room.

At Wades Point Inn on the Bay the big ideas will come when…

You round up the adirondack chairs for an impromptu meeting of the minds with the inspiration of an incredible sunset on the water.

You feel the sun streaming into the wicker filled Bay Room with views of the water from every window. (Forty people can meet and work in this spacious room, so you can just imagine how many big ideas start here.)

You’re checking your e-mail in our living room and the grandfather clock softly chimes the hour.

You enjoy a fabulous seafood lunch out by the water’s edge in historic St Michaels.

You listen to the gentle creaking of the rocking chairs in a group powwow on the screened porch.

Just pull up an adirondack chair and let the ideas flow.

We’ll take good care of you and your colleagues while you’re here to work or to take a much needed retreat from the office.
