ABOUT US:
We're Jim and Sarah, owners of the Black Walnut Farm. We've been best friends for over 20 years, and in 2021 purchased our beautiful farmhouse as a weekend getaway from our busy lives in the city.
We’ve spent the past year painstakingly restoring, renovating, and updating it to its glory— Jim is passionate about antiques and vintage items, and all of the interiors reflect the historic nature of the property (275 years old, this year!)

We will be your points of contact-- since we have a lot of travel this summer we decided to sublet the house and let others enjoy it. Stay for a long weekend, or up to a month! We may be able to host you for longer, please ask us about availability.
We provide a fully stocked pantry, linens, and everything else you need.

TO book, we will want to schedule a phone call to learn more about your group and discuss any details about the house. A $400 security deposit will be refunded as long as there were no damages to the property. Cancellations less than 14 days before check-in will be subject to a cancellation fee.
