Out first ever B&B stay and it was perfect! Clean, cozy, private, quiet, and all around lovely. Breakfast was such a special treat!

I had never been to Door County before this stay and this place is one of a kind AMAZING. The owner Amanda has a heart of gold and knows how to take care of her guests. You literally leave this place feeling like you are leaving heaven. Its clean, spacious and quiet! My husband booked this place for my birthday. We got the honeymoon suite and the room was gorgeous. The spa in this room sits upstairs with a view that is priceless. We woke up and heard a little knock, when we opened the door we found a cart with breakfast was made to suite, like we were the King and Queen! Yogurt Parfait, strawberry shortcake waffles, fresh fruit, fresh flowers and so much more! WOW..... Actual brand name Keurig coffee pods, tea and custom cups IN my room! I have never been in a BNB where the cable channels were free! There was a journal book in the room for guests and people wrote in it about their experiences at the BNB and a few of the stories brought tears! It was just so cool to know that I was in a place where I felt like I was valued as more than just a guest! I WILL be back! You cannot go wrong booking this place, it's absolutely EPIC. read more

Very Cordial owners. Beautiful room(cottage room). Breakfast was plentiful and private.

I originally had booked a weekend stay at a different bed & breakfast but then i stumbled upon the website for this bed & breakfast. After looking at the rooms they had, I immediately cancelled my other reservation and made a reservation here. When I entered, I was greeted warmly. I was shown my room (I reserved the Cottage room). The room was beautifully decorated and extremely comfortable. Geri explained how breakfast worked: you pick from a small menu of what you want and how many of certain things you want. It ranges from various juice, yogurt, parfait, hard boiled egg among other things. You can pick what time the breakfast is delivered to your room (between 7:30 - 10 am). The breakfast is delicious. This is one of my favorite bed & breakfasts - I will definitely be back here again! read more

The Black Walnut Guest House was amazing! If you're in Sturgeon Bay you need to stay there! My husband and I stayed in the Arts and Crafts room--it's big with a fireplace, whirlpool tub and 2 televisions (one for each "room")--super cute and cozy! The room was very clean and had a balcony out back. The breakfast at this place is to die for! My favorite was the eggs over sweet potatoes and kale, however literally everything Geri served was delicious. Geri also has homemake cookies and tea available outside your room whenever you want. In addition, there's a cute little DVD library available for guests outside the rooms which I thought was a nice touch. Overall, this place was adorable and I would definitely recommend to anyone staying in the area. read more

If you are in Sturgeon bay and looking for a place to stay look no further! Jerry was very welcoming, our room was clean, romantic, had a balcony, jacuzzi and fish tank, candles, organic soaps, and salts. Breakfast was heavenly good both days, and you get pampered with snacks outside your room including the best cookies, lemonade, and truffles. The hospitality was incomparable, and we had such an amazing time. I highly recommend it and would love to come back! read more

My husband and I stayed in October and fell in love with the Black walnut inn so much so we came back in December. And here's why.... Geri is a fantastic host. From the moment we walked in she greeted us with a smile and made us feel so welcome. We stayed in both the arts and craft room and the cabin room. My husband loved the arts and craft because it was bigger; however, I loved the cabins for its charm, coziness and warmth. Geri brought us scrumptious breakfast everyday with fresh flowers and the most addicting food ever. The bed was incredibly cozy and soft sheets. The whirlpool tub was big enough for two and came with candles and even matches. There were water bottles in the mini fridge. The soaps and the airfreshners were very nice with a hint of citrus. She made pumpkin truffles for us and cookies with teas and hot cocoa. I will miss this amazing Inn but most of all I will miss Geri. read more

We looooved staying here. The rooms are clean and very well decorated with just enough class and comfort. We stayed in the arts and crafts room for two nights during our honeymoon and purchased a couples massage and champagne package to go with it. The rooms all come with a big hot tub for two. The arts and crafts room was the most spacious of all 4 rooms, but they're all comfortable and nice. The breakfast comes with a fresh baked muffin and fruit, you can then request any additional items which are all delivered on a tray directly to your door in the morning at the time you want it. She also leaves a jar of fresh baked cookies, iced coffee and hot water for tea during the day for guests to take at any time (yum!) Sturgeon Bay isn't necessarily the best spot in Door County, but a short half hour drive will get you most places. We stopped at the winery downtown before heading deeper into the peninsula. My only complaint is that she kept the rooms a little too cold during our summer visit. This is a great place for a romantic getaway, it's definitely a place you can go and hang out for hours without ever wanting to leave your room ;) read more

If you're going to Door County with your sweetie, you should *definitely* stay here. We stayed here right at the beginning of January. The town was quiet, snow blanketed everything and a deep cold had set in over the entire midwest. But our room (The 'Cabin' room) had a gas fireplace, wood panelled walls, a down comforter and was warm and cozy. The jacuzzi tub was very relaxing after dinner. The layout of the room is really neat - shower and bathroom separated from the tub and both of those separate from the bedroom. Skylights made it bright without glaring in the morning. The bed was firm with excellent linens. There is a sound system that we plugged our varous ipo/ads into to listen to tunes. The breakfast was fabulous. We had a fritata with spinach, gorganzola and tomatoes. The homemade granola was awesome. The house is populated with cookies, candies, various drinks, all available any time and most of which are from door county. Along the subject of food, Jeri had great recommendations for restaurants and nightlife, such as it was in early January. Our room was great, but we also poked our heads into another room (room 1?). The room itself was large and well appointed, a corner with multiple windows. But the neat part was a jacuzzi up in a turret with 360 views out the curtained windows. Excellent hosts, we loved staying here. read more

We had a great 2-night stay at this B&B over the July 4'th holiday. Our room was spacious and comfortable. The breakfasts were delicious and it was a nice luxury to have them just outside the room on the patio. The owner was gracious and friendly and gave us great tips on where to catch the fireworks and even let us use their folding chairs for the occasion. A great experience in all respects. read more

We stayed here back in May of this year for my wife's birthday. May is nice in Door County; there are enough people around that it doesn't feel like a ghost town... er, peninsula, but the hordes haven't arrived yet. We like Sturgeon Bay because it feels like an actual town, unlike Egg Harbor, etc. that seem to only subsist off of tourist dollars. And it's right in the middle of the peninsula, so everything is a short drive away. Anyways, more on point... I'm not big on B&Bs, because I love my vacation anonymity and space. But Jerry and her husband give everyone their space and it's all very quiet, but will give you tons of information on the area if you want, and are super friendly and helpful. And the prices are really reasonable for what you get. The place itself is located in a renovated Victorian style(?) house tucked back into a quiet neighborhood, but is a five minute walk from the main street. Your breakfast is brought to your door at the time you designate... Actually, you can read Shayna's review for details on breakfast. But I WILL say that it was amazing. The fresh baked muffins, the yogurt/granola/fruit. I was genuinely excited every morning for it. Oh yeah, and those cookies she leaves in a jar for guests... we ate our fair share during our stay. We stayed in the "cabin room". Each room has it's own jetted hot tub and patio space. It was just a wonderful relaxing place. We liked it so much that we extended out another night. I would go back in a heartbeat. read more

B&B that is totally worth every penny. The breakfast is amazing and makes you wish they served all meals here. The rooms are clean and quiet and very comfortable. A very nice place to stay at for a great price and we can't wait to return. read more

Beautiful B&B in a quiet neighborhood, close to downtown attractions/dining. Loved the Cabin room! Great get-away for two busy people. The breakfast was fantastic - best homemade oatmeal and the cookies in the hallway were to die for!!! read more

This is a GREAT place to stay. I am so late posting this review since my husband and I traveled so much this Summer. However, better late than never. We stayed for our Anniversary in July. The room was cozy and comfortable and Geri, the owner is simply the best! Her breakfasts were fabulous and delivered right to our door. She gave a wonderful selection of choices for each morning. I am wheat intolerant and she went above an beyond to prepare gluten free options for me. Wow, her service is outstanding. I never expected her to do that but she even made homemade gluten free bread AND desserts for me! She shared her recipes with me afterwards. My husband and I have traveled a ton and appreciated her kind and genuine nature. This is definitely a find!! read more

This place is fantastic!! Beautiful room and the breakfasts are incredible! They are delivered to your door so you can eat at your leisure. Worth every penny! Geri, the innkeeper, was so nice and welcoming! read more
