Sinclair House
Bed & Breakfast Inn
Tilghman Island, Maryland.

We invite you to stay in the
wonderful surroundings of Tilghman Island.

 
Originally constructed in the 1920's as a fishing camp for vacationing anglers trying their luck at the Eastern Shore, the two-story building was converted into the island's first B&B and remains an historic landmark on Tilghman Island.

Sinclair House's innkeepers, after completing renovations and redecorating Sinclair House, reopened the Inn to guests in early 2002. Both have lived and worked around the world. Monica, who is from Peru, met Jake in Guinea-Bissau, West Africa where she served as an international officer with UNICEF and he was on diplomatic assignment to the U.S. Embassy in Bissau.

During their travels around the world, both innkeepers were avid collectors of local art and handicrafts. Sinclair House now displays these individual treasures. Intricate inlaid and gilded mirrors are from S.E. Asia, North Africa and South America. The hand-carved long bench on the sun porch reflects Indonesia's long tradition of working with native hardwoods from Java, Borneo and Sumatra. Moroccan artisans have produced the Berber carpets, Marrakech brassware and hand-painted couscous serving dishes. The semi-precious stones decorating the golden face of an Inca deity suggest its origin as the Andean highlands in Peru. Mohair tapestries, decorative masks and Botswana hand woven baskets come from southern Africa. Everywhere you look, something out-of-the-ordinary will catch your eye and lead you to ask, "Now where in the world did you find that?"

Sinclair House offers four guest rooms, each with its own private bath:

Africa Room - King Bed: Hand carved statuary and masks, Botswana baskets, Mohair woven tapestries from Lesotho, a framed original beaded Ndebele wedding skirt.

Indonesia Room - Queen Bed: Indonesian light rattan furnishings, framed silver-covered figurines from Solo, traditional puppet masks and hand painted batik.

Morocco Room - King Bed: Hand painted bed head-board and tables produced in the mountain village of Chechaouen, antique mirrors and traditional decorations from Marrakech and Fez.

Peru Room - Queen Bed: Gilded and under-glass painted mirrors from Cajamarca, textile wall hangings and "retablos" of Andean folk scenes.

We offer a hearty full breakfast served from 8-10:00 a.m. to begin your day on Tilghman. The menu changes daily. Choices may include traditional American breakfast selections, "healthy choice" options, Latin or European specials, or meals prepared to meet individual dietary requirements.

Jake and Monica look forward to welcoming you to Tilghman Island and giving you the grand tour. Languages spoken in addition to English: German; Spanish; French; Portuguese.
