Nestled in the heart of the Finger Lakes wine region, the Black Walnut Bed and Breakfast is a 200-year-old farmhouse on an acre of land in the historic hamlet of Covert. The four cozy guest rooms on the second floor (each with private bath), were given a complete makeover to include many comforts and conveniences designed for the modern traveler, while keeping timeless traditions in mind. In every room, crisp, soft linens cover new Tuft and Needle mattresses, streaming Roku services and bluetooth speaker/USB docking clocks are available for use, and sustainable bathroom products are stocked. Many rooms feature restored and up-cycled antiques - some from my grandmother’s original bedroom collection - and the sloping ceilings and wide plank floors are included at no extra charge. The farmhouse charm extends to the renovated common areas where comfy chairs invite you to cozy up with a good book, and the beautiful oak table (Mennonite-made in Penn Yann NY) is ready for card games and puzzles. An enclosed sunroom is the perfect spot for a morning cup of coffee or evening glass of wine, and the gardens and grounds deserve an exploration to find a secluded spot to relax. The inn is proud to support local farms and businesses to source the finest ingredients for a delicious and filling breakfast, and is happy to accommodate all allergies and dietary needs. The Black Walnut is centrally located between Seneca and Cayuga Lakes, near the quaint town of Trumansburg and less than 10 minutes from Taughannock Falls State Park. Explore the wine trails, hike through the beautiful gorges, feed the goats and alpacas at neighboring farms, and swim, kayak, boat, or just enjoy the lake waterfronts. We are a very easy drive to Cornell University, Ithaca College, Buttermilk Falls, Robert Treman, and Watkins Glen State Parks, and Geneva.
