Directions
From Mainland Virginia & North Carolina:
Depending on exactly where you are coming from will determine what roads to take to I−64 towards Norfolk, VA. I−64 runs East & West around Norfolk. Whether you are taking I−64 East or West, take to Exit 282 Chesapeake Bay Bridge−Tunnel. Merge onto Route 13 North and follow the small blue signs with a white seagull (for the CBBT). Once over the bridge, continue along Route 13N/Lankford Highway for about 10 miles. At the second light (immediately after the plaza on your right with McDonald’s and Food Lion), make a left onto Route 184 West (Stone Road) towards downtown Cape Charles. As you enter town, the speed limit quickly drops from 55 MPH to 40, and then 25, and is heavily monitored. The first road on your right will be Fulcher Street. Make a right on Fulcher and then your first left onto Tazewell Avenue. We are the large white house on the right hand side at the corner of Fig Street and Tazewell Avenue. Our parking lot and main entrance are located on Tazewell Avenue on the right side before getting to the corner STOP sign.
From Delaware, New Jersey, New York:
Depending on exactly where you are coming from will determine what roads to take to get to Route 13 South. Route 13 runs North and South up and down the Delmarva Peninsula through Delaware, Maryland, and Virginia. Once on Route 13 South/Lankford Highway in Virginia, continue South towards the Chesapeake Bay Bridge−Tunnel. Once you are past Cheriton, VA, Cape Charles is the next town. You will pass a Hardee’s and Valero gas station on your left. At the next light, make a right onto Route 184 West (Stone Road) towards downtown Cape Charles. As you enter town, the speed limit will quickly drop from 55 MPH to 40, and then 25, and is heavily monitored. The first road on your right will be Fulcher Street.

From Baltimore & Washington, D.C.:
You have the choice of taking I-95 South towards Norfolk, VA and then the Chesapeake Bay Bridge−Tunnel (follow directions from Mainland Virginia); or crossing over the Bay Bridge at Annapolis, Maryland to Route 50 East. At Salisbury, Maryland, you will pick up Route 13 South (follow directions from Delaware).
We HIGHLY recommend taking 50 East and 13 South down the Delmarva Peninsula. Depending on time of day and day of week, you can sit in hours of traffic on I-95 South. Most GPS systems will put you on I-95 South because it is technically 10 miles shorter, but you can save hours of traffic and frustration by taking Route 13 South.

If renting a golf cart, we ask that you park either your vehicle or golf cart on the street so we may provide one off-street parking spot to each guest room. We offer complimentary charging for golf carts in our off-street parking area.
