The Inn sits on its own peninsula overlooking Carters Creek with a clear view to Chesapeake Bay. A unique mix of southern charm and hospitality, with a modern approach to gracious attentiveness. The result is a contemporary resort set against a backdrop of traditional care and comfort that has all but disappeared. Originally a well-kept secret among discriminating friends and travelers, today the Tides Inn enjoys a reputation as one of the finest hotels in the Mid-Atlantic.

A spectacular retreat for your mind as well as your body. This is the place where you can rest and rejuvenate, where you can just let…time…pass.

Construction began after World War II, in the Spring of 1946, on the site earlier known as The Ashburn Farm. The farm had been in the Ashburn family for over 150 years. The Tides Inn opened to the public on July 15th, 1947.

The Inn began as a vision of E. A. Stephens with his wife, “Miss Ann,” and soon established itself as the premier Small Hotel in the Mid-Atlantic. After three generations of Stephens’ family stewardship, The Tides Inn was purchased and is managed by Enchantment Group. After extensive renovations, the Tides Inn enters a new era as a premier small resort in America.
