    Black Walnut Point Inn is located at the end of Tilghman Island on 57 acres of a waterfront wildlife sanctuary. Our own six-acre island at the end of the point, you can watch the sunrise over the Choptank River and set over the Chesapeake Bay. Both the 1840s house and private luxury cabins are open year-round, and every accommodation has endless water views and private baths. Enjoy the pool, hot tub, bird watching, fishing or just relaxing with a good book. If you enjoy nature or need a private retreat, come to the Black Walnut Point Inn - the secret place of peace.

    At the edge of Tilghman island, surrounded by the bay from 3 sides, lies the coolest retreat. Bordered by a bird sanctuary, the inn sports an amazing vista, where you can scout the wilderness and watch sunset and sunrise over water. Great lodging, both rooms and cabins, outstanding breakfast and the mos friendly and forthcoming proprietors we've met for a while.

    Needing a chance to get away from everything, just happened to find Black Walnut on the internet and am so happy to have made this choice of places to go. Bob and Tracy felt like family and we will highly recommend this Inn to anyone looking for a great getaway. Beautiful old house and fantastic surroundings to relax and re-charge mentally and spiritually. Short hop to St Michaels for dining and unique shopping too. Can't say enough about our trip.....awesome, outstanding, fantastic, etc. Don & Nancy Barkhimer

    Our stay here at the Inn was more than we had hoped for! It was beautiful in every way. The location is breath-taking; we arrived at sunset and the sky was a magnificent array of colors- bathing the Inn in a warm and inviting light, and there was a small campfire glowing on the side yard. Incredibly welcoming! Our room (Attic Getaway) was actually larger than I had anticipated and we were very comfortable (although my husband- who is 6'3" had a tough time in the shower). We had views that provided both a sunset and sunrise- gorgeous. Innkeepers could not have been more friendly or welcoming. Breakfast delicious and relaxing in the comfortable and airy dining room. The grounds were gorgeous- we relaxed on the screened in porch and watched the butterflies fly by and the boats sail past out on the ocean. Could not have been more relaxing. Swam in the pool-even though it was October- and totally enjoyed it . Our stay was truly wonderful and we will definitely go back!
