We have been to several Bed and Breakfast's and this one tops them all! The best part (as many others have posted) is the breakfast tray delivered to our room at the time we wanted it. Not having to get ready before meeting other guests and just being able to get up and have a cup of coffee and yummy... More

My husband and I stayed at the Black Walnut guest house from February 22-25 in the Cottage room. We absolutely loved it! The room was so cute, the jacuzzi tub was wonderful too! The little touches made it that much better: the cookies in the hall were great and so was the tea/ hot cocoa that was available in the... More

This was our first time at the Black Walnut Guest House. We stayed 4 nights in the Arts & Crafts room. The room was very large and beautifully decorated. We felt comfortable and at home from the moment we entered the room. The queen bed was very comfortable as well as the separate sitting area. The fireplace was double-sided and... More

It's hard for me to understand how anyone could not LOVE this place. The hosts were wonderful - gave great service and took care of us, but were not intrusive. We are definitely not B&B people, but this was a place that didn't force you to mingle with strangers, which suited us perfectly. We stayed in the cottage room which... More

A very comfortable, private and clean B&B with many amenities. It's hard to know where to begin, but the continental breakfast was definitely a highlight! It's brought right to your door with a soft knock at a time you specify and with foods and beverages you choose from their menu (the homemade muffins, granola and parfaits were fantastic!). Geri's homemade... More

So many lovely touches. Stayed in two different rooms over 3 nights. Will always treasure memories of the hot tub up the. Spiral staircase...felt like being on top of the world. Second room had a HUGE fish tank to view while bubbling in the tub. Geri was attentive and friendly but gave us privacy....my kind of B&B. Very fresh local... More

We stayed at the Black Walnut on a Tuesday and Thursday during a cycling tour of Door County. We used Sturgeon Bay as home base for our tour and traveled to other overnight destinations in Door County around and between the dates we stayed at Black Walnut. Anyway, Black Walnut was our favorite lodging during our trip. We stayed in... More

While drinking coffee from my Black Walnut mug, I was reminded to write this review! My husband and I and another couple stayed on our way through Door County after being on Mackinac Island, MI. Both rooms (Eastlake, Cabin) were FANTASTIC and so unique. The breakfast was fabulous and picture perfect on the tray (the only picture of food our... More

From the time we were welcomed by Geri, we felt right a home and pampered beyond our expectations. We stayed in the "Cabin" room and it was lovely. It had a whirlpool tub which my wife enjoyed after each of our day trips in Door County. The room also had a small balcony outside which was quiet and gave us... More
