DreamCastle Quilts

Pieceful Cottage is available for rent all year round. 
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 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.


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 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. 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.
