<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>
<div>In front of Michener's Choptank Cottage Hideway you will find both Pentaquod's Cedar and Oyster Bay Nook.<br /><br />Pentaquod's Cedar: Named after the Susquehannock Indian character who seeks peace and settles with the Choptank tribe. This name honors the indigenous heritage and Michener's storytelling. The significance of cedar trees in Native American culture reflects their symbolism of healing, purification, and protection.</div>
<div>
<h2>&nbsp;</h2>
<h2>Oyster Bay Nook</h2>
Oyster Bay Nook is a charming and fitting name for the original and historic Triple Privy to Sandaway, paying homage to James Michener's Chesapeake. The space currently serves as a garden shed for Sandaway. In James Michener's novel Chesapeake, Oyster Bay is a fictional location that represents the rich oyster harvesting grounds of the Chesapeake Bay area. It's one of the many settings where the lives of the characters, particularly the Turlock family, intersect with the natural resources and maritime culture of the bay. The bay serves as a backdrop for the historical and ecological themes explored in the novel.&nbsp;In the Fall at Sandaway Suites &amp; Beach, hotel guests can watch oysters being harvested by local watermen. Michener's Beach Cottage Cabana offers an awesome view.</div>
<div><br />Naming each door on Oyster Bay Nook after prominent families from the novel adds an extra layer of character and storytelling to the space.&nbsp;</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div><strong>Steed Door:</strong> For the Steed family, representing their landowning legacy.</div>
<div><br /><strong>Turlock Door:</strong> For the Turlock family, celebrating their life as watermen.</div>
<div><br /><strong>Paxmore Door:</strong> For the Paxmore family, highlighting their Quaker values and abolitionist stance.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div><br />This setup together with the 2 cottages, not only honors the novel but also adds a unique historical and literary touch to Sandaway's property. Sandaway not only honor's James Michener and his novel <em>Chesapeake</em> but also pay homage to the Native American history integral to the story and the region.
