Located in a town that's separated by water from the other two villages on Smith Island, this remote English cottage–style inn takes its soothing name from a phrase in a poem by the mystic St. John of the Cross, a Carmelite monk. The rooms are small with antique linens and big windows. Tylerton has no restaurants, but, for an extra charge, the eclectic innkeepers will cook a fresh seafood...
Visitors can find respite in this old-fashioned farmhouse surrounded on three sides by water. All bedrooms have water views. The innkeepers pick up guests at the Tylerton dock. Dinner is available for $25 a person. The "green house," a lounge built over the marsh, offers a unique way to get away from it all.
