Discover the Best Romantic Getaway in Michigan

Though we aren’t technically located in the heart of downtown, Black Star Farms is still a top-rated choice for finding the best Bed and Breakfast in Traverse City. We’re found just 13 miles north of Traverse City on the gorgeous Leelanau Peninsula, an area known for many of the top-rated Michigan wineries. It’s the perfect location to enjoy the best of this area: excellent wine tasting on the Leelanau Peninsula, spectacular water-based adventures on Grand Traverse Bay, and plenty of relaxing on our gorgeous winery estate.

When you crave more action, Traverse City and its many exciting attractions, not to mention the popular Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore, are just a short drive away. With easy access to so many of the area’s top attractions, it’s easy to see why Black Star Farms is considered the best Bed and Breakfast in Traverse City.

Our exceptional location is just part of our story, though. Truly, what makes us the best Bed and Breakfast in Traverse City is the thoughtfully curated experience you’ll have from the moment you arrive at our location near Suttons Bay. Though we are one of the best destinations for wine tasting on the Leelanau Peninsula, the experience here goes far beyond our top-rated winery.

Black Star Farms is a true getaway destination. We offer ten well-appointed guest rooms at our Bed and Breakfast in Traverse City; each outfitted with a broad array of amenities and each named for various stars in the northern sky – a night sky you can only enjoy when you’re far enough away from the city lights like we are! We’ll have a complimentary bottle of our house wine waiting for you in your guest room so you can get your vacation started on the right foot.

We’ve curated several packages and enhancements to help you enjoy every second that comes next at our Bed and Breakfast in Traverse City. From our ultimate experience package, which includes the best of the best at Black Star Farms, to things like our summer sailing package or an afternoon of local hiking or biking, we offer a range of opportunities to enjoy the best this area provides.

Finally, though Traverse City isn’t far away, there’s no need to travel back into town for dinner because one of the top-rated Traverse City restaurants is located just steps away from our Bed and Breakfast in Traverse City. The cuisine at our Bistro Polaris is sourced locally from our farm, area farmers, and other local artisans. It all pairs exceptionally well with our award-winning wines. Our Arcturos Dining Series is a delightful culinary adventure celebrating the best of our vineyard-to-table experience at our Bed and Breakfast in Traverse City.
