    This Inn was lovely. I enjoyed the gas fireplace as it was chilly the night I checked in.

    The breakfast was absolutely beautiful—fresh, delicious, and thoughtfully prepared. It was one of the highlights of our stay. We did have an issue with a noisy guest late one night, but I want to emphasize that this was clearly not the norm. Gail responded immediately, personally checked in with us, spoke with the guest, and even went above and beyond by giving us gift cards as a thoughtful gesture. She truly cared about making things right, and her kindness and professionalism meant so much to us. Situations like that can happen anywhere, but what really matters is how they’re handled—and Gail handled it exceptionally well. The Black Walnut Inn is charming, peaceful, spotless, and full of thoughtful touches. We left feeling cared for, and we’re so grateful for Gail and her husband’s hospitality. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend the Black Walnut Inn to anyone looking for a relaxing and welcoming getaway.

    What a lovely property! Comfy beds, a wonderful couch to curl up on, and the main house is gorgeous. Easy check-in, amazing breakfast, and many little touches that made it incredibly inviting. We loved it. Thank you!

    The room was wonderful. The breakfast was excellent. I met the owners and staff the morning after I checked in (late @ 11:45pm). They couldn't have been more hospitable. I stayed at the Walnut Inn out of necessity, attending a friend's father's funeral, and the Inn could not have been a better place for me to stay. I can imagine others enjoying it for its warmth, decor (fresh rustic farmhouse?), fresh breakfast and location to Amherst and surrounding area/towns/sites.

    The Black Walnut Inn is the perfect place to stay if you are visiting the U Mass Amherst campus. The inn is remarkable and the food and the staff are simply the best.
