Guest Reviews
- Robert (8/5): - beautiful location; the innkeepers are friendly and helpful; the breakfasts are good, some days we had homemade banana bread. The pool is good. We had attic room--this is a problem--challenging to go up and down stairs and avoid bumping one's head. After 5, guests have to stop to open and shut and lock 2 gates. Liked the nature trail adjacent to the Inn.
- Catherine (10/5): - Unique property in beautiful setting. Home made breakfast. Quiet and peaceful. Lives the cats that live here too.
- Sally (10/5): - Beautiful vistas looking over the Bay, watching the sun set, walking the Nature Trail, swimming in the pool. Lots of reading material. Breakfast was delicious. Close to town with a general store and restaurants. Great place to calm down.
- Ernest (10/5): Best anniversary trip in years. - Wife and I stayed 3 days for 41st anniversary. Bob and Tracy are wonderful hosts.
- Jennifer (10/5): - The most peaceful, lovely, enjoyable place to be, surrounded by water and love. Thank you, Tracy and Bob!
- Beverly (10/5): Anniversary Getaway - We had a wonderful trip. The property is a truly scenic spot. There are many birds in the area. Our room was the Talbot room and was comfortable. There is no TV, but there is internet. The hot breakfast was tasty. Tracy, one of the hosts, was very friendly and informative.
- William (8/5): - Quaint, romantic, personal, spacious and relaxing embellished in nature
- Huijie (10/5): - Incredible environment and peaceful retreat!
- Terilee (10/5): - Our stay was peaceful and quiet (exactly what we wanted) we were met as we pulled in and given keys and that was it very remote and beautiful views
- marian (10/5): - Loved everything ! Homemade breakfast included, incredible location,views,serene and quiet,owners accessible and invested in guests having a wonderful time.View of sunset comparable to Key West.Can't wait to book again next summer.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Beautiful property, really nice historic house. Staff is great, breakfast was great, relatively short drive to St. Michaels
- Verified traveler (6/5): - If you are staying in the “attic room” and you are taller than 5’0”, you will have a problem. Location was fantastic but the breakfast was a small piece of quiche and a soggy waffle in a plastic container. On the up side, the coffee was great.
- Alan (10/5): Black Walnut Point Inn - Both of us loved the peace and quiet. The breakfast every morning was great. Being by the water was very cathartic. We were totally relaxed.My wife and I will definitely return for another stay and to see the owners, Bob and Tracy, again. They were an absolute delight.
- Mary (10/5): Quiet stay surrounded by the Chesapeake Bay - A lovely historic inn which sits on the beautiful point of Tilghman Island, Maryland. The innkeepers are friendly yet provide the feeling of privacy for couples trying to get away from it all. Breakfast was excellent with many things coming from their extensive garden, including the eggs from their own chickens. We extended our stay an extra day because we didn't want to leave.
- Barbaea (2/5): - Read your email...I want a full refund. We did not stay here....we left 5 minutes after we checked in and drove 300 miles back home!
- Mark (10/5): The Point is... - Enjoyed this historic B&B at the tip of Tilghman Island. Very nice grounds surround the house. Lots of birds (eagles, osprey, terns, etc) and a lovely dock to watch the sunrise from. In the evening you can sit on the porch in a rocking chair and enjoy a liquid refreshment (BYOB) while watching the sunset.. or take it in from one of several hammocks on the grounds. The hosts (Bob and Tracy) were very friendly and provided great breakfasts each day that we were there. We stayed in the Talbot Room in the main house and it was comfortable. If you are coming here to use Wi-Fi or watch TV, this isn't for you. But if you want a relaxing getaway...this is the place. Would definitely visit here again!
- Charlene (8/5): Relaxing work retreat - Beautiful venue, hosts were really sweet. Very accommodating and kind.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - It was great to stay at Black Walnut Point Inn. My most memorable aspect of the stay was the very impromptu conversation with Tracy who has an amazing life story. The property overall is beautiful and peaceful. The home is decorated with antiques and the rooms are very clean. The views are gorgeous and I would 10/10 recommend. My only regret is not staying longer.
- Ej (10/5): - The proprietors were extremely friendly and helpful, the property and views are absolutely stunning, we absolutely will be staying here again!
- ALAIN (10/5): Le bout du monde à 2 h de Washington - Voilà une adresse merveilleuse, "au bout du monde" face à la baie de Chesapeake ; accueil sympathique, breakfast excellent, et site fort bien arrangé.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - BLPI is a historic property and is clean and very well maintained.
- William (10/5): Romantic Getaway! - Wow!! This is a wonderful place with an amazing view and lots of history. We could have stayed longer if we knew how nice it is. Our omelets in the morning had home made eggplant chutney and man that was great!
- Larry (8/5): - Being there reminded me of being in my grandmother's old house as a kid. So many things are makeshift trying to be more modern. I missed have a desk/table surface to use a laptop. Scenery could have been awesome except it was 100% clouds when I was there. But, I could easily see how the place would be very nice for a family to spend a few days there. Pool. Patio with a grill. Hammocks.
- paul (2/5): Disappointed Guests - We stayed in the main house. Upon entering, we noticed the peeling paint and rotten wood on the house and porch, and the smell of mildew upon entering the door. Our room was smelly, bedspread was wet from dampness, mildew stained pillows, cobwebs on lamp shades, tiny bathroom and shower stall, shower stall for one with standing in place room only and no shelves to put soap or anything else, shower curtain old and frayed. There was a window ac unit. We slept in our clothes and did not use the shower. There were 2 couples at breakfast who were staying in the cabins and they were not happy either....they had the same complaints. The owners were in a hurry to leave for their vacation that afternoon, gave us a hurried tour with another potential visitor, and did not even have any bottled water......only well water. No comfy atmosphere, smelly and rundown. A cold front had come in that day with alot of wind and rain. The roads leading to the inn were full of pot holes and flooded....it wasn't even high tide. When I asked Bob about the flooding on the road, as we were concerned about getting stuck later upon returning from town and dinner, he said it's never happened. This place is at the end of the peninsula, surrounded by the bay on 3 sides. The other 2 couples said they were glad they had an suv with 4 wheel drive.
- Jerry (10/5): - Black Walnut Point Inn exceeded our expectations in every way. Out of the mainstream but convenient. A wonderful, interesting building. Charming, conversant hosts. We will be staying there again.
- Meredith (10/5): Island and Nature Paradise - Tracey and Bob provide an amazing experience at Black Walnut Inn! We had an incredible night and felt like we had the island to ourselves! Thank you!
- Luz (10/5): Extraordinary Experience.. - Perfect place..for our 40th wedding anniversary.They even upgraded our room .I'll take that as a gift.The breakfast was delicious and healthy...The place was abdolutely beautiful..The house and it's premesis were don to my taste.And most of all we were blessed with the hospitality of Bob and Tracy.We will definitely coming back..and we'll definitely recomend it to our friends and family..I'm rating them as more than outstanding...
- christopher (10/5): OUTSTANDING B&B - First thing is remember this is a B&B not a hotel. Second thing is it is located inside a bird refuge which means after hours you have the run of the of the area. The views are amazing, the innkeepers are extremely friendly and manage the place well. Breakfast was excellent and the service beyond our expectations. If you want a quiet remote calm place to stay this is it. The pictures in the web site do not do it justice If you are a birder or someone who enjoys the serenity and nature you must stay here !!!!!
- Verified traveler (8/5): - In my opinion this is a one of a kind spot. Beautiful water views and very nice property with a lovely pool. The flowers, plants, trees and shrubs are all fantastic and the breakfast is very nice. Things are a little run down but it's a centuries old place and has been kept in good condition - not pristine but comfortable. It's very quiet - a place to hide away and reflect - read and relax. We stayed in one of the cabins so I can't speak to the rooms in the house. Hosts are terrific, friendly and helpful.
- Verified traveler (10/5): It's An Official Maryland Nature Sanctury - If you want to get away from it all and have a beautiful scene to gaze at, the Black Walnut Inn will fill the bill. The location on a point in Chesapeake Bay gives you water views on three sides, including amazing sunsets. The Inn's two comfortable sitting porches are perfect for reading and lazing away part of the day; maybe before a swim in the pool or venturing out for antiques in one of the many small historic towns near by. Staying at the Inn feels like visiting an old friend's home. And the breakfast is well worth getting up for. You can wander around the property to see the fig trees, the turkeys, and the gardens, but you can't walk to any other property. It's very isolated, but for me, that's part of the charm. Hard to find so close to Washington DC and Baltimore.
- Gordon (8/5): Great getaway on the Chesapeake! - Wonderful retreat inside of a bird sanctuary surrounded by the Chesapeake Bay. Very relaxing; we had a wonderful time decompressing from the world and enjoying nature. Cell phone reception was acceptable, but no internet. We stayed in the "Attic Hideaway", which I don't recommend. We had to scrunch to get in and out of the room and the shower was among the worst we've had, but those were minor irritations. The bed was comfortable, the hospitality superb. We also had fun exploring in nearby St. Michael's and historic Easton. I definitely hope to go back when we can spend more than 2 nights -- just not in the attic!
- Verified traveler (4/5): Great Hosts - Poor Accomodations - Very nice and engaging managers. Trey and Bob were very nice and accommodating hosts. Conditions of cabin were poor. And at over $300/night it was far below what we would ever expect.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Second visit, divine again! - This was a second visit to Black Walnut Point Inn. I couldn't wait to return and am already planning the next time! The hosts are beyond wonderful. The setting could not be more perfect if what you seek is to unplug, get away from everything, appreciate the natural beauty of being able to see the sun rise and sunset from the same chair, both over the water and being in a bird sanctuary. The pool is very clean and in a spot where both sun and dappled shade are available. It is very quiet. Even a short stay is sure to allow a person to decompress and feel infused with peacefulness.
- Dick and Sue (10/5): Quaint Getaway - Nice getaway prior to our meeting the next day at Philips Wharf Environmental Center. Would love to spend more time here.
- Frederick (10/5): Outstanding isolated location - We loved the location. It was fully booked the night we were there but didn't seem busy...plenty of common space/porches to spread out on.
- Peter (10/5): - Very enjoyable stay from the wonderful owners, and beautiful setting. Very relaxing weekend retreat.
- max (6/5): Funky grandmotherly old farmhouse - Last and only house on the peninsula. Peaceful, quiet getaway kind of place. Night stars, waves lapping on the shore, etc. Dave was very welcoming and attentive. I did remind me of visiting my grandmothers house!
- Susan (10/5): Peaceful Paradise - This is a true hidden gem of this world! Views, tranquility, peace, true respect for nature, generous and warm and welcoming hosts. I sadly could only stay about 24 hours, but truly felt more relaxed after being here than several days longer on a beach vacation last year. I will return as soon as my life possibly permits. I would to with my spouse, with friends or even alone. Bring a good book, your binoculars, or sketch book. Leave your computer and cell phone back home. You won't miss them for a moment.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Beautiful location and friendly staff . Awesome breakfast!
- Rich and Joan (10/5): views&taste - the most beautiful sunsets and the best tasting breakfast ever
- Steve and JoAnn (10/5): - Beautiful, peaceful and a great place to sit back and just relax.
- Maria (8/5): Beautiful bed and breakfast in gorgeous location - My girlfriend and I stayed in Black Walnut Point Inn for long weekend for her birthday in early March. It was out of season, so probably with flowers and green trees of later spring, it would be even more beautiful, but we really enjoyed peace and quite of bird sanctuary, less crowds in nearby St. Michaels, Oxford and Easton. The house is beautiful, room was very pretty, clean and comfortable; Bob and Tracy (owners) very hospitable and fun to be around. It was magical weekend, Thank you!
- Verified traveler (8/5): - beautiful and unique location in the south most tip of Tilghman Island.
- David (8/5): - Overall it was a good stay. Location was great and the hosts were accomodating. Some fruit at breakfast would have been nice, but the main breakfast entrees were very tasty. Great place if you want to get off the beaten path to relax.
- Stan (6/5): Wedding debris should have been cleaned up. - Inn hosted a wedding on Sat. before our Sun. arrival. We would not have expected the rental equipment to have been removed but could not understand why wedding debris (partially used soda bottles, beverage containers, etc.) had not been cleaned up by our Tues. checkout. The Inn sits on a beautiful spot where the Choptank River meets the Bay. We were impressed with the spot's natural beauty but not with the "view" of the wedding detritus. The absence of cleanup struck us as trifling and inconsiderate of Inn guests. At $247.50 a night, we expected better. In a positive vein, Dawn and Jamie, Inn staff who were running things in the innkeepers' absence, were hospitable and a pleasure to be around.
- KDH (10/5): Great location - If you want to get away from noise - this is the place! Skip St Micheal's and head to Tilghman Island and this B&B. Bob and Tracy are wonderful hosts...
- simon (8/5): Nice get away location - Wished we had visited in warmer part of year, April at tilghman island is cold. Breakfast was nice.
- Verified traveler (10/5): At the "Point" - It was as advertised, a quaint, remote getaway.
