Adorable 150-year-old farmhouse on private site close to lake

Black Walnut Farm is a converted 1836 post-and-beam constructed barn that has been transformed into a rustic retreat that takes you back in time. It's a ten minute walk to Geneva Lake and Abbey Resort, but it feels like you are tucked away in your own personal oasis. It features a bar and game room and a tennis court for your enjoyment. The 14-seat "team" table and room for 26 can easily host your next group get-together or family event. Sunsets and stars from the back deck are fantastic, and s'mores will be had at the fire pit! Feel as though you are back in time while enjoying all of the modern amenities of a beautifully kept property and luxuriously outfitted home. The Black Walnut farm is magic and we look forward to accommodating your stay.

Awesome Family Vacation
Everyone in our group thoroughly enjoyed Black Walnut Farm. The layout was good for our group that included 10 kids (9 months to 7 yrs) some of whom needed rooms away from the fray for napping and or early bedtime. Kids could sleep and parents were able to play games and enjoy gathering spaces without worrying about waking sleeping babies. The kids loved the grounds from exploring the frogs by the shed and playing soccer and games on the grass. The adults and kids enjoyed the tennis courts for pickle ball. Lots to do in the area. The beach is walkable for older kids, however sidewalks not always available so we often drove with the little ones. We really enjoyed our stay, and explored a lot of the Lake Geneva area.

House Renovation Incomplete
The property is beautiful but house needs additional renovation. There are large cracks in the pavement on the tennis court, uneven, challenging back staircase from the MBR to lower level, no AC in the MBR, and access to some bedrooms is through other bedrooms.

Family Reunion
This was a great property. We had 10 adults and 10 kids ages 3-18. This property had plenty of space for us to all sleep with lots of room for games indoors and activities outdoors. The pool table and tennis/pickle ball court were favorites.

Great stay at a wonderful villa!
We had a wonderful stay at this property! It was even bigger than we thought it was when we arrived, giving all 14 of us ample space throughout the weekend. The big dining table was a highlight and we really enjoyed being able to sit around the table together.

Idyllic Farm Property
The home and the setting were wonderful. While none of us are tennis players we used the tennis court every day and had a wonderful time. Very close to the town and lake. Highly recommend

Great for a big group!
The house was such a unique and comfortable place to stay! The home is tucked away in a quiet area but just a brief walk to the lake and restaurants/bars. The bedroom set up is perfect for large groups or families with young kids. The large dining table and multiple gathering areas made entertaining so easy. Our group especially enjoyed many games of pickle ball and cornhole in the beautiful private backyard!
