For those who love historical houses, the Black Walnut House will be an exciting place to stay. The house exterior and gounds are very attractive, and the owners have added many unique and charming touches inside. The kichen is well outfitted, and through the use of individual floor AC units, the common areas and bedrooms were comfortable in warm weather in June, with the exception of the dining room (description to follow).There were some drawbacks. The beautiful dining room is not air conditioned and pretty much unusable in warm weather. That was a surprise and disappointment as we had 7 people and had planned on having meals in that room. Some rooms have dim lighting. The sink arrangement in the bathroom nearer the street is interesting but hard to use for people of less than average height. It should perhaps be noted that people with mobility issues may find access to the loft challenging. (For most groups, this may not be an issue; but we are all in our mid-seventies.)Although Jennifer provided her phone number and messaging options, promising a quick response, she never responded to one of our messages nor to an important voice mail left on the phone number she gave us. Despite these disappointments, we had an overall nice stay.

This house is so wonderful. It is steeped in history. You feel like you are living in a wonderful museum. The only change I would make is to have a queen bed in the master suite rather than a full. We thoroughly enjoyed the house and wouldn’t hesitate to come back!

What a beautiful home! Exactly what we needed to accommodate our out of town wedding guests. The home is well appointed, very spacious, and we had great communication from the host. You wont regret your stay here!

This home was a historical beauty. We felt like we were going back in time each time we walked through the door. The home is beautifully decorated with antiques but had all the modern conveniences you would expect to enjoy. Jennifer was super easy to contact and always replied quickly. We had a nice stay!
