Black Walnut Farm – Historic 1836 Barn Retreat by Geneva Lake
Step into the timeless charm of Black Walnut Farm, a masterfully converted 1836 post-and-beam barn just a 10-minute walk from Geneva Lake and the Abbey Resort. This one-of-a-kind property blends rustic character with modern comfort, offering a warm and welcoming space perfect for large family gatherings, group getaways, and corporate retreats.
With 9 bedrooms and 5.5 baths, the home comfortably sleeps up to 26 guests. Gather around the impressive 14-seat “team table” for meals, meetings, or celebrations. Relax in the bar and game room, enjoy friendly matches on the private tennis & pickleball court, or unwind in the swim spa (available May 15-Oct 15) before ending the evening with s'mores by the fire pit under a canopy of stars.
Whether you're planning a multi-family vacation, reunion, or team retreat, Black Walnut Farm offers space, privacy, and a sense of history that's hard to match. Experience the magic of a bygone era, without sacrificing modern luxury!
