    Our Inn takes its name from the stylized star in our lobby floor. The stairs (left) lead to seven of our guestrooms.
    Diadem is often chosed by honeymooners or for that special occasion. Its king four poster is cozy for cuddling by the fire.
    Polaris is our first floor suite which features a king bed and whirlpool tub. Its sitting area opens to a private terrace.
    The Pegasus lounge and library is a comfortable place to gather for a game of cards or jigsaw puzzle, finding a book or magazine to curl up with, and a complimentary glass of wine with hors d'oeuvres by the fire before venturing out to one of our fabulous local restaurants for dinner.

    The staff make you feel as though you've come back to your seasonal home but with the added benefit of being completely spoiled. The Inn is beautiful, the staff is very generous with their time, the food, the wine, and all the amenities. The staff at the tasting room is also very knowledgeable about what they serve. It is a very happy place and is our favorite place to stay.

    Just What I Imagined!

    March 10, 2013

    This was our first visit, and it was in February. Everything was perfect. I am so thankful we went in the winter. It was just like a painting. We plan on a return visit in the fall.

    Nice Place

    February 20, 2013

    We enjoyed our stay at BSF. This place is very modern and gorgeous inside and out. Make sure you walk the beautiful grounds and see their beautiful horses. The wine tasting and raclette cheese was wonderful. We loved waking up to the smell of breakfast which was delicious and we loved the granola. Coffee service in the morning should have been better attended to as the stations were often out of regular cream and equal/splenda, thus we were disappointed that we didn't get to start off our morning with that best cup of morning joe just the way we like it. We very much enjoyed the wine social hour and there was a very good selection of wine, but the hors d'oeuvres were a bit sparse and lacking (compared to what others have personally told us they received on their stay). We had dinner one night and it was good and the creme brulee was fantastic. It snowed during our stay, and in the morning when we went to leave, the inn had already cleaned off our car. What a nice little touch that was noticed and appreciated. We will return for another visit.

    Fun Weekend!

    February 13, 2013

    We had a nice time at Black Star Farms Bed and Breakfasts. The room was beautiful and very clean. The appetizers for the Friday night happy hour were very good, but Saturday was shy on creativity. The breakfasts were different, but very good. The only complaint, if I had any, was that we are early risers and we had to beg for coffee in the morning when we woke up. We were there with another couple and we all wake early. Chef Johnson wasn't very pleased that we were drinking most of his coffee because he was too busy making other things. The staff was very friendly and helpful. We will be back.
