An Up North Gem The Inn is simply beautiful, in a classic and charming way. The rooms are perfectly appointed, and the staff is beyond excellent. We stayed in the Castor & Pollux room, which was just amazing with its vaulted ceiling and beautiful fireplace. David, the manager, greeted us by name upon our arrival, and was attentive and welcoming throughout our stay. He hosted the “hospitality hour” and engaged us and the other visitors in conversation, while filling our wine glasses, setting out some nibbles, and making sure we were all enjoying ourselves. The Inn is surrounded by lovely vineyards and open fields. We walked across the road from the Inn and watched the horses quietly eating their breakfast. Then we were on our way to our own breakfast in the dining room. It was truly delicious, and was plated and served beautifully. We felt so welcomed and at ease that we lingered even after we finished our meal. The Tasting Room on the premises was also a delightful experience. We were able to sit outside and enjoy the view as well as the wine! I always recommend Black Star Farms to anyone who asks. It's a gem! Thank you for another wonderful stay.

Perfect place to unwind It was a great experience, however it was our hosts that made the trip perfect. They were fun and helpful at every encounter. Our room was perfect and the wine too was great. Would consider this a yearly trip.

Charming The inn is lovely. Breakfast was delicious and healthy. David is a wonderful host. Rachel is equally wonderful but I’m very prejudiced on her behalf! I would love to return. My room was sumptuous.

Home Away from Home 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!
