Located just outside of Trumansburg, NY in the hamlet of Covert, The Black Walnut Bed & Breakfast is part of the Covert Historic District, which was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1980. Records indicate that the inn was built in 1802 as a farmhouse for a Mr. E. Cole. Lovingly maintained and comfortably updated, the Inn offers four charming rooms on the 2nd floor, each with a private bath and amenities including: Flat Screen HDTV with Netflix, Hulu, and HBO Wireless internet access New beds with plush linens and multiple pillows Iron & ironing board Individually controlled Heating and Air Conditioning options Hair Dryer Plush bathrobes Complementary (and sustainable) shampoo, conditioner, and body wash Sloping ceilings and wide plank floors The farmhouse charm extends to our 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 games and puzzles. The 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 in and of themselves. Wake up to locally roasted coffee, home-made baked...
Just as the Black Walnut has had many different construction phases and updates, so has its owner had many different careers and passions. Jen found her way to the Finger Lakes on a pursuit to learn about wine, wine making, and more specifically, to experience a wine harvest. After two harvest seasons and a winter in the vineyard, she did learn a thing or two, but definitely appreciates the wine she drinks and shares with her guests even more than before. More importantly, over that time she fell in love with the area and wanted to bring more of her skills to life as she settled in. Jen is happy to help plan your stay in any capacity. She has an extensive knowledge of the many wineries (and breweries, cideries, and distilleries) in the area, and can cater any tasting trip to your preferred style. If you'd like to explore the lakes and beaches, the gorge trails and waterfalls, or just hang in the sun, just ask. And if you're still hungry after breakfast, she's happy to guide you to delicious, locally sourced restaurants both near and far. Oh yeah, that cautious but friendly little guy in a tuxedo is Rufio and he loves head and cheek scratches.
Nestled in the heart of the Finger Lakes, The Black Walnut is minutes from Taughannock Falls State Park, the Seneca and Cayuga Wine Trails, and the charming town of Trumansburg. Explore the many gorge waterfalls, taste countless world-renowned wines, ciders, beers, and spirits, and enjoy delicious farm-to-table and locally sourced meals with inspiring views. Close to Cornell University and Ithaca College, as well as Watkins Glen Speedway.
