This is a beautiful historic house. Each room has a different theme to it. It's a great place to relax. You can talk over cookies and cocoa, enjoy a whirlpool bath, or watch a movie. Breakfast is great - and you can order as much as you want. The owner/cook prepared a special meal for us that wasn't even on the menu.
5 out of 5Lovely and very special stay.

My husband and I just loved this B&B. Geri is a very warm, welcoming host who was super kind and accommodating. We are definitely not the typical B&B people who enjoy a lot of together-ness with other travelers- not in this setting, anyway- (a romantic getaway.) So this set-up was perfect! No group meals, activities, etc. You just got to nook away and truly be alone, which was so refreshing. The Arts and Crafts room was not only very spacious and beautiful, but it was so quiet and private- we didn't even hear another guest the entire weekend. And breakfast is delivered to your door, which is the best thing ever. The presentation of the breakfast is like magic- (pot of hot coffee, fresh flowers, adorable linens, etc) and the food is delicious. The cookies in the hallway, along with hot tea, were a really lovely touch. The only thing that would have really sent the entire experience over the top would have been wine and cheese set out at happy hour? (but oh well, we brought plenty of our own! :) The whirlpool tub in the room was absolutely to-die-for. What a great addition!! As for the town/location itself, there is not a lot to do, especially since we visited in winter so it was very quiet-- but that was okay for us, since we really just intended to go and spend alone time together, not experience a booming nightlife. And there aren't a ton of eating establishments to choose from (but we come from Madison so we are self-admittedly very spoiled in this department.) The best meals of the trip were definitely the breakfasts. I miss this place already! Thanks for a wonderful weekend, Geri- you have a beautiful place and Door County is very lucky to have it!

My boyfriend (now fiance) and I stayed in the Eastlake Room this past week. This was our second time staying at the Black Walnut, and our first time staying in the Eastlake Room. We LOVED everything about this weekend! The breakfasts were amazing, the room was so clean and comfy and Geri was so helpful with anything we needed. It was an especially special weekend for us this time because we got ENGAGED! We will definitely be returning next year, and probably will make it an annual winter weekend away at the Black Walnut! :)

January 21, 2013
My boyfriend and I stayed at the Black Walnut Guest House and had such an amazing visit. Geri created such a delicious breakfast and a wide variety of choices--everything was perfect. Not to mention, it was delievered to your door with a "good morning knock". The cookies were to die for and I would pay good money for that recipe! Also, we took the Winter Wonderland Trolley Tour and she was very helpful in letting us know what we could add onto our stay, ect. We will be back next year for sure! I highly recommend the Arts and Crafts Room....simply relaxing and calming! Thanks Black Walnut!
Innkeeper Response
You are very welcome. Thank you for taking the time to post this fabulous review. Watch for the cookie recipe in your email...and it won't cost you a penny. We look forward to seeing you again. Next time maybe a couples massage.5 out of 5NYE Stay
January 04, 2013
My boyfriend and I stayed at the Black Walnut Guest House for two nights from December 30-January 1, 2013 and we were very happy with our accommodations. We ended up arriving earlier than planned and called Geri to let her know and we got into our room right away. We were even able to peak at the other rooms since the other guests were not there yet and all were equally as unique as our Cabin room. For breakfast you got a choice of different items that you wanted and special mimosas on new years day, all delivered to your door at the time you specify. This was a nice feature because we were both somewhat sick during our stay and we stayed in bed quite a bit! The whirlpool tub was awesome and we took advantage of that one night. The room has a nice sized tiled shower and a patio door that walks out onto a porch (shared with one other room and the back entrance). I had also emailed Geri a few days earlier to ask her for recommendations of places to eat and she sent me back a nice list of places to call for NYE. We checked out Kitty O Reilly's Irish Pub for the Packer game and ate dinner at John Martins on NYE. Both had great food and were not too far from the house. Whenever we get back to Sturgeon Bay we will hopefully stay here again! It was a nice little getaway!

Our third stay at this charming B&B. A great location for strolling the shops in town or touring further up the Peninsula. Proprietor is knowledgeable about local restaurants and activities. Breakfasts are delicious, bountiful, and beautifully displayed. We will be back again next year!
