Relaxed Luxury In An Unforgettable Setting

Inn at Black Star Farms

A Farm Stay Getaway

The Inn is located on our 160-acre Suttons Bay winery estate in the heart of northwest Michigan wine country, just a short drive from many Midwest cities. Twelve miles north of Traverse City, in the heart of Leelanau County, you will find our unique bed and breakfast nestled below a vineyard-covered hillside, with sweeping pastoral views. Beautiful rolling countryside, other area wineries, sandy beaches, ski areas, stunning parks, and quaint villages surround us, making this a perfect place to begin your up north adventures. We welcome guests 18 and older to help ensure a relaxing adult-friendly atmosphere.

Voted the best winery bed-and-breakfast in Traverse City, the Inn has become a happy place for longtime guests celebrating their birthdays and anniversary getaways. We hope it will become the same for you.

 Verified Anniversary
We had a great one night stay at the inn for our 10 year anniversary! Exceptional service by innkeeper Rachel from the moment we walked in the door. The e-bikes we rented from them were there when we arrived. We had the Raclette dinner which was amazing. The breakfast was delicious.

 Verified Amazing!
Absolutely fabulous two-night stay! The property was beautiful, and the people were just as wonderful. I truly enjoyed every moment of my visit, especially my morning walks around the property to visit the horses. It was such a peaceful and special experience. I can’t say enough wonderful things about this place and can’t wait to return next year!

 Verified Black Star Farms is a gem!
When we walked in the beautiful front door and David greeted us by our first names, I knew this would be a great experience. The wine in our room was labeled WELCOME with our names. So delicious we ordered 6 bottles at the Tasting Room ((free shipping). Loved the fresh coffee outside our door in the morning st 7:00am. The social hour was so much fun with great appetizers and wine. Would highly recommend Black Star to anyone looking for a unique and comfortable place to stay with beautiful scenery. We will be back.

 Verified Outstanding Stay at Black Star Farms
We would rate it a 10, if possible. Our innkeepers, Rachel and David were perfect hosts during our stay. They were so friendly and accommodating in every role they performed. We cannot say enough great things about them, the rooms, facilities, food and even the wines! Happy hour in the late afternoons was a fun touch with quality wines and small bites. We will highly recommend Black Star Farms to our family and friends!

What an amazing experience, as usual! David, and now Rachel, always so friendly and greeting us each time with smiles and conversation, making us feel right at home. Chef Kristen prepared two incredible breakfasts, as those definitely make it worth just waking up for! The trails are nice, and just enough to work that breakfast off, or to take an evening stroll. We absolutely love coming here each year, and just wish we could do it more often! Thank YOU for always making this such a beautiful experience!! 🥰 P.S. Go to the tasting room and visit Chris, who will make your time there beyond enjoyable, as well!
