A Farm Stay Getaway

The Inn is located on our 160-acre Suttons Bay winery estate in the heart of northwest Michigan wine country, just a short drive from many Midwest cities. Twelve miles north of Traverse City, in the heart of Leelanau County, you will find our unique bed and breakfast nestled below a vineyard-covered hillside, with sweeping pastoral views. Beautiful rolling countryside, other area wineries, sandy beaches, ski areas, stunning parks, and quaint villages surround us, making this a perfect place to begin your up north adventures. We welcome guests 18 and older to help ensure a relaxing adult-friendly atmosphere.

Best place ever We love staying at Black Star Farms for many reasons. It's so nice to get away to a place so peaceful and quiet. The hospitality is always top tier. They treat you like family. We love the hospitality hour where we can meet and talk with other guests or just sit quietly by the fire. The breakfast is always delicious. The grounds are beautiful. We have stayed there many times and every-time it’s a 10/10.

Best Wedding Experience We recently had our wedding at blackstar farms and booked the Inn for some of our guests. We stayed the entire weekend and we had such an amazing time. Everyone said that it was the most beautiful wedding they've ever been to. Weddings are stressful and they made it go very smoothly so we didn't have to answer too many questions. Danny, Rachel and Meghan were so helpful! The rest of the staff was great as well but that was who we mostly worked with. I highly recommend coming for a vacation or renting it for your venue. Absolutely beautiful grounds, helpful staff and food is delicious!!

Anniversary We had a great one night stay at the inn for our 10 year anniversary! Exceptional service by innkeeper Rachel from the moment we walked in the door. The e-bikes we rented from them were there when we arrived. We had the Raclette dinner which was amazing. The breakfast was delicious.

Amazing! Absolutely fabulous two-night stay! The property was beautiful, and the people were just as wonderful. I truly enjoyed every moment of my visit, especially my morning walks around the property to visit the horses. It was such a peaceful and special experience. I can’t say enough wonderful things about this place and can’t wait to return next year!

Black Star Farms is a gem! When we walked in the beautiful front door and David greeted us by our first names, I knew this would be a great experience. The wine in our room was labeled WELCOME with our names. So delicious we ordered 6 bottles at the Tasting Room ((free shipping). Loved the fresh coffee outside our door in the morning st 7:00am. The social hour was so much fun with great appetizers and wine. Would highly recommend Black Star to anyone looking for a unique and comfortable place to stay with beautiful scenery. We will be back.

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!
