A gem in St Michael

What a gem of a hotel! My husband and I had a short trip to a nearby town for a night and in looking for a hotel I stumbled upon this one. It looked adorable so I booked it. What a fantastic find! The hotel was stylish, beautiful, clean, and well maintained. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. We had dinner at the restaurant Ruse and were not surprised to hear that the chef had just been nominated for a James Beard award!! This place was an absolute home run and I can’t wait for another opportunity to stay again if we’re in the vicinity!

My wife and I went to St Michael's for a post holiday getaway. Can't say enough on what a great experience we had at the Wildset! The hotel, the rooms, and the grounds are beautiful and spotless. The restaurant within the hotel - Ruse - is also outstanding! Our bartenders Dan and Tanner did a terrific job and made the night very memorable, we will definitely be going back!

Midweek getaway.

We loved the overall aesthetic and design. The staff was welcoming, the room was spacious, and the location was perfect. The food at RUSE is outstanding. If you don’t want to splurge for dinner, at least sample, the happy hour dishes. Making s’mores by the huge fire pit and riding bikes in the morning were fun extras that made our stay one to remember.

The Wildset is a wonderful, relaxing stay in St. Michael's. Clean, bright, comfortable and convenient with a great restaurant on site called the Ruse. Continental breakfasts were superb. The outside fire pit was spectacular and the hotel gave us s'more kits to make our own treat around the fire. We loved every moment.

PROS: I loved the newly remodeled, charming hotel, especially the fire pit area with s'mores, the breakfast served in the morning, and the quaint restaurant. Planning to return again CONS: The room location was less than ideal, as it faced the street and had noticeable road noise. Additionally, there was no sidewalk from the parking area, so we had to walk through muddy grass to reach our room.
