THE ROOMS

Historic Charm Meets Modern Conveniences

A neatly made bed with multiple pillows topped with a beige quilt, set against a soft pink wall. On each side of the bed, there are white wall-mounted lamps with brass accents. A small wooden nightstand with a blue vase of pink tulips is beside the bed. Natural light enters through a skylight window on the sloped ceiling.

When I discovered the Black Walnut in 2019, my  favorite part was how deceptively big and bright the old farmhouse is. Every room is full of light from the large windows overlooking the grounds or added skylights to offset the varying ceiling heights. All I needed to do was preserve the traditional farmhouse charm while adding in the modern comforts travelers require today. Each room has plush Tuft & Needle mattresses, alarm clocks with Bluetooth speakers and charging rests, streaming Roku services, and individually-controlled air conditioning and heat. With only four completely unique guest rooms, you’ll feel right at home and welcomed like family.

A bedroom with light blue walls and a sloped ceiling with a skylight. There is a white bed with beige and brown pillows, a black wall-mounted lamp, a yellow cushioned chair, a white dresser, a window, and a brick chimney with a white mantel and a small black TV stand with a television. A flat-screen TV is on the stand, and a black pipe extends from the chimney.

The Blue Moon Suite

Settle into our most spacious and secluded suite with a private hallway entrance that leads your own tranquil corner of the Inn. Unwind on the plush king bed, luxuriate in the oversized bathroom with overhead skylight, and plan your daily adventures at the vintage desk overlooking the barn.
