"The property was quite clean and comfortable and convenient for our purposes. I thought the room was smaller and more crowded than I would have liked, but it provided most everything we needed. The staff were polite and competent and much appreciated. All in all we had a nice stay."

excellent stay at the Black Walnut Inn
"Lovely historic inn! Very well appointed and spacious room, comfortable common area, attentive hosts, great breakfast (including eggs from the inn's beautiful chickens, and homemade bread), mattress was quite firm (whether it is too firm is just a matter of taste). One suggestion: have pullout sofas ..."
