 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!
