I can’t say enough good things about this B&B and Jen. We stayed in the Sunflower Suite and it was great. The bed and pillows were comfortable. The room was clean. The bathroom was bigger than expected and very nice. The house was beautiful and the outdoor space was so peaceful. Jen was so knowledgeable about the area and had so many amazing recommendations of all sorts of things to do. From food to hiking, entertainment, museums, towns, etc. Breakfast was great both mornings we were there and the coffee was delicious. We will definitely be back again!

Great Stay at the Black Walnut
My husband and I just had a wonderful 2-night stay at The Black Walnut. It was our first experience at a Bed & Breakfast and not knowing what to expect we were very pleasantly surprised. The hospitality provided by Jen, the innkeeper, was top notch as she was incredibly friendly and full of great information and local tips. Her homemade breakfast each morning was delicious, and the room and bathroom were very clean and well appointed. We would absolutely stay here again if in the area!

Great find in the Finger Lakes!
Jen, who recently took over as the new owner, was AMAZING! She’s extremely knowledgeable of the area – thankfully, because we showed up with no plans for our weekend. We also knew nothing about wine, and she was great about asking questions and helping us plan. Her breakfasts were incredible as well – really tasty and filling. We especially loved her homemade granola! The area is fantastic – it’s close to many wineries, breweries, restaurants, and trails, all within the beautiful Finger Lakes region. Finally, the Black Walnut Bed and Breakfast itself was such a cozy place. The beds are really comfortable, there’s a lot of room, easy access to any necessities/desires, and it has a great back porch (we loved sitting out there and reading)! Very excited to get back to the area not only for the wine, but for another great stay at the Black Walnut Bed and Breakfast!

It's a nice house. However, the service can be more promptly during a heavy weekend. Saying that, it is not fair that one person is in charge on doing everything. She did her best considering the circumstances. I will stay there again if the price is lower.

Thank you for taking the time to post a review of your stay. The house was built in 1800, so it is indeed old; an attribute that many of our guests compliment about the Black Walnut. We're sorry to hear about the clog, but glad you were able to fix it easily enough. Thank you for your compliment regarding our breakfasts!

We had an early graduation time which he was aware of. He said he’d have to go bags for breakfast but we were expecting a good breakfast. Unfortunately he has specific time which was later than we had to leave. So I wish he could have made breakfast earlier to accommodate the guests going to graduation.

Not so good.
Will not be back. Hostess was very nice and hospitable but the place itself was old and needs to be updated. Floors are uneven and steps are terrible, felt like I was walking on a boat all the time trying to keep my balance. No closet space and no central heating, they have heaters in all the rooms.

First time in the Finger Lakes
The Black Walnut B&B was a great fit for our 3 night stay in the Finger Lakes area. It's remote from any significant town, so we really felt like we 'got away', yet it's only about a 10 minute drive into the village of Trumansburg, which had some really good restaurant options (go to Hazelnut Kitchen!); and less than a half hour into Ithaca. It was also a lovely scenic drive to Watkins Glen, and close to I don't even know how many wineries, breweries, and distilleries. Breakfasts were hearty and varied; maps and other area information readily available; the innkeepers were helpful and responsive both before and during our stay. We'd stay again! (note- it IS an old home, so floors are uneven and water pressure is very low and it takes awhile for the shower to heat up. What can you do- call it 'character'!)

Amazing Weekend Getaway!
This B&B was the perfect launching point for a memorable weekend in the Finger Lakes. Conveniently located on Cayuga Lake, its about a 20-30 minute drive from most of the areas highlight attractions including wineries, hiking, and restaurants (though there are also some great things to do even closer!) The inn is charming and rustic with creeky wooden floors, a lovely enclosed porch, and simple but comfortable rooms. We really appreciated the "guest kitchen" where we could make tea/coffee, store things in the fridge, and find cookies laid out by the inn-keeper, Jack. Jack is really the highlight of this whole place. His breakfasts are a decadent start to the day- you can tell he takes pride in his food. He also gave us plenty of tips and suggestions about the area- something you miss out on staying at a chain hotel. We stayed in the Keuka Room which was absolutely adequate, however, it was a little small considering my husband and I are both tall. The tiny bathroom and sloped roof made getting ready a little challenging. Guests over 5'9" may want to opt for a different choice. We had a peak at the Sunflower room when another guest left, and that or one of the other larger rooms would be our choice in the future. Expect a lovely time if you choose to stay at Black Walnut!

Home away from home in the FLX
We were in town for a family wedding and booked the Black Walnut for two nights. The location is right in wine country and the property is charming and picturesque. The owner / host was very accommodating and very good at what he does. We will definitely be back, as the Black Walnut will not be our "go to" for stays in the FLX.
