After having a somewhat sketchy experience at a previous B&B, I was uneasy about staying in another one. This exceeded my expectations and was so cozy and quiet. The rooms are uniquely decorated, each having a style of their own. We stayed in the "Arts and Crafts" room and loved the whirlpool and fireplace. Breakfast was fantastic and they are... More

My husband and I just loved this B&B. Geri is a very warm, welcoming host who was super kind and accommodating. We are definitely not the typical B&B people who enjoy a lot of together-ness with other travelers- not in this setting, anyway- (a romantic getaway.) So this set-up was perfect! No group meals, activities, etc. You just got to... More

Rest of the reviews are dead on. Great atmosphere, fantastic food, Geri was phenomenal and has a very clean place. Can't RAVE about the food enough! Whatever she is making, get two of it! Omelets are to die for! This was the perfect retreat to get away and recharge the batteries. This was our first time doing a vacation without... More

My boyfriend and i stayed here for two night over NYE. I picked the Black Walnut based on its great reviews on here and its very reasonable off season weekday rate. I wanted to go somewhere for the holiday but didn't want to go to far and we have never been to Sturgeon Bay or a bed and breakfast. The... More

Me and my g/f had just got back from a weekend getaway at the Black Walnut guest house. neither one of us had stayed at a B&B before so we were unsure of what we were going to get. Like everyone has stated in their comments, this place is really charming and comfortable. The Cabin room was decorated exceptionally well.... More

This was my third visit with my wife to the Black Walnut. Once again the stay was fabulous! Staying at the Black Walnut feels like home. We are welcomed, it's quiet, cozy, and comfortable. Geri even left us a little plate of chocolates welcoming us back. She also gave us recommendations to some restaurants, providing us a menu and directions.... More

This was our second stay at the Black Walnut Guest House, and we enjoyed it just as much as the first time! What a beautiful, peaceful place. We stayed in the Arts & Crafts room again and enjoyed how large and comfortable the room is. We stayed for 4 nights. One of our favorite parts of staying here is having... More

Our first B&B experience, and we were blown away! Beautiful cozy room to relax in...I loved the fish tank in our room and the private balcony. Geri's breakfasts were tasty and pretty to look at, too. I forgot my jacket in the room, and not 20 minutes after we left, Geri called to tell me. You definitely don't get that... More

What a fabulous B&B!! No need to travel any further north in Door County! Make this you base! The owner is surely the host with the most! The B&B pays all the attention to detail & the rooms reflect the beauty of this Inn! We were here on a trip for a glass blowing class!

Took a few days off and stayed here for the night. This stay is what everyone wants when staying at a B&B. The room was very clean and charming. My wife who has always found something not to like with a bed and breakfast absolutely loved it here. You will not be disappointed!
