"Black Walnut Farm is idyllic countryside living at its finest in the Hudson Valley."

“My nights spent in the downstairs bedroom and in the large guest suite upstairs were both especially memorable. Not because of the historic train which reminds me of sweet nostalgic summers spent at my grandmother's country house, but because of their super luxe and tranquil offerings. From the soft linens to the incredible mattress (!!) to the songs of cardinals and warblers in the morning, and all of the handpicked touches like local tchotchkes, soaps, and moody lighting made for an unforgettable stay in the most quaint escape of NY. Every room at Black Walnut Farm offers a new daydream to be transported to and I highly recommend settling in for the impeccable journey. While you're here, be sure to say hello to Miss Lilly as you roam the stunning property to discover more and more magical corners at every turn.”

“The attention to detail was the most noticeable and what I loved the most. The property was quiet with a beautiful quaint sound of trains passing by that fully added to the experience. Large living and sleeping spaces, again with a vibe that’ll take you back to a bygone era. The property is close to so many places to shop and dine if you need to, but the house is outfitted with most things you need and the kitchen is inviting enough to socialize while cooking. You have several places to eat meals, drink and be merry.

“Black Walnut Farm is the vacation house of my dreams. The charm and creativity in every nook and cranny of this home delighted me to no end. Even though the entire house transports you to days gone by, it did not lack any modern conveniences, including extremely efficient AC units in every room. The entire property is stunning and beckons you to go out and take it all in. This place is perfect to spend a couple days or an entire week away from your normal life. I’m already planning a return. Thank you, Sarah and Jim, for this incredible experience!”

“Can I just live there forever??? It honestly felt like I’d stepped into a magazine. The owners have exquisite taste… seriously, it’s BEYOND! The house is well looked after and has everything you’d need for a comfortable stay (including AC and blazing fast Wi-Fi). Bonus.. the house is super private and the host, Sarah, was very attentive. Lots of fun boutiques and antique stores in Saugerties and the neighboring towns (Kingston and Woodstock are super close). Oh… go to The Dutch for the house pastrami sandwich (I still dream about it). Just book it! This house is truly magical! Looking forward to returning in the winter so I can cuddle up next to the huge(!!) fireplace in the living room.”

“This has been the most MAGICAL weekend at one of the most beautiful places we’ve ever stayed in. I was so impressed by every little detail. Absolutely nothing was forgotten or overlooked. It was so clear how deeply the owners care about their guests’ comfort. I want to reserve my dates for the next few years because I know as soon as the word gets out about this beautiful farm that it will be impossible to steal a reservation!”

“Black Walnut Farm is the most cozy, amazingly warm and charming getaway in the Hudson Valley. The space is so well designed and thoughtfully outfitted for your every need. Each room feels comfortable and unique. The porch is a lovely place to sit for evening cocktails. The patio and outside grounds are inviting and lush. I cannot say enough about how spectacular this spot is. I will definitely be back and recommending to anyone I know.”

“If a house could be a cabinet of curiosities this house would be it. An incredible escape from NYC that feels both familiar and new. We (my partner and our dog) were in heaven during our weekend trip. The house is so cozy and homey, yet it feels like a total escape from daily life. There is so much to discover in every room, nooks to read, to write, to watch tv, to enjoy the peace and quiet.

It’s so easy to find an Air BNB, but it’s not easy to find one that feels like a real escape. Black Walnut Farm is that escape. The owners really curated a thoughtful, wonderful home. The town of Saugerties is great for some shopping (Pop Vintage!), food (Miss Lucy's!) and coffee (Olsen and Co - still dreaming of their sandwiches). But, Saugerties is also so close to other great towns - a short drive to Woodstock. Black Walnut Farm is so conveniently located if you're looking to town hop upstate. What else is there to say? It was wonderful!”

“We loved how remote it felt but was also really close to town and the grocery store! The property is stunning and the details and history of the house felt so cozy. We can't wait to come back in the winter!”

“Our group of seven (plus our dog!) just returned from the most wonderful winter weekend at Black Walnut Farm. The house is even more amazing than it appears in the photos. There are little treasures in every corner, and every room has been so thoughtfully and beautifully put together. We enjoyed long, lazy mornings watching the snowflakes fall from the heated sunporch, spent our afternoons and evenings playing board games in front of the fire, and enjoyed cooking big meals in the kitchen. The hosts, Sarah and Jim, have thought of everything: baskets full of blankets to keep cozy, speakers throughout the house to play music, a welcome basket with popcorn and hot cocoa, towels by the back door for the hot tub, and more. We ran into an issue with the coffee pot on our first morning, and Sarah responded immediately and had a brand new coffee pot delivered to the house that same day. You really can't ask for more - you will be so well taken care of at Black Walnut Farm. You could easily spend your entire time inside the house and never get bored, but don't miss the nature trails behind the house (our dog loved exploring!) and the cute downtown area for shopping and food. We've never stayed anywhere like Black Walnut Farm. It is truly one of a kind!”
