“Great new spot! Liked it so much we ate there twice this week. Good wine, great food and wonderful service. Our new favorite place in Leelanau.”

“This is a favorite of ours! Beautiful grounds, great location between Traverse city and Suttons bay, a wonderful suite we stay in that is on the first floor. Also, it's just like home from the demeanor of the Inn Keeper to access to all areas including the library and pub, with plush leather seating and decor reminiscent of a classic fox hunting lodge. Breakfasts are special and delicious. Wine tasting room next door, grapes growing alongside, view of the horse pasture and great walking trails. What more could you want??!”

“Amazing service and flavors”

“We are locals and frequent Hawkin’s Farm Cellars a lot. The service is friendly and the Thai food is exceptional. My husband especially loves the Pad Thai chicken and I am a huge fan of the Green Curry dish. You could literally close your eyes and just point to anything on the menu and never be disappointed!”

“Truly a special meal. This was BETTER than the photos. Every single thing we ate (baked mozzarella, parfait, salmon Benedict, apple pancake) was so incredibly delicious. Honestly the best meal of the trip. Service was also wonderful. So glad we made the trip out here.”

“Igloos are fun! Good beer and food! Tacos are delicious and the white bean chicken chili is excellent - would love the recipe 😋 Our favorite place to enjoy a good time!”

“So fresh! This is such a hidden gem, the kung pao was amazing. So many veggies, generous portions and the perfect amount of sauce and spice. The satay was delicious and full of delicious fresh herbs. We'll definitely be coming back!”

“Black Star Farms & Coordinators Danny/Meghan: Simply the Best Wedding Day!

If you are looking for an effortlessly beautiful, stress-free, and truly amazing wedding experience, book Black Star Farms immediately and ask for Danny and Meghan as your coordinators. Our wedding on September 19, 2025, was flawless, and it was entirely due to this incredible team and venue.

The Venue: Breathtaking Beauty

Black Star Farms provides a setting that is beyond comparison. The sights and views are spectacular—from the vineyard backdrops and rolling hills for our outdoor ceremony to the beautiful spaces indoors. The natural beauty of the property means you need minimal additional decor.

Beyond the visuals, the food was exceptional. Our guests are still talking about the quality and presentation of the meal. The entire experience felt sophisticated, local, and incredibly high-end.

The Team: Danny & Meghan's Excellence

Danny and Meghan, our coordinators, are truly the reason our day was so easy and stress-free. Their amazing communication throughout the planning process kept us organized and calm. They are masters of attention to detail, proactively handling logistics and ensuring every transition—from ceremony to cocktail hour to reception—happened seamlessly.

On the wedding day, they worked tirelessly behind the scenes, ensuring all vendors were supported and that we, the couple, only had to focus on enjoying the moment. They are professional, warm, and absolute experts at what they do.

We highly recommend Black Star Farms, and especially Danny and Meghan, to any couple dreaming of an elegant, smooth, and unforgettable wedding celebration.”

“cool environment n awesome lil scavenger hunt icecream hits just right!”

“We stopped in after getting our Christmas tree from Kolariks Christmas tree farm just before noon on a Saturday. Rookie parent move, we had promised our 2.5yr old a sprinkled donut however when we arrived the case had been wiped out by the busy morning rush. The sweet lady working overheard us talking and offered to make our son a fresh sprinkled donut. Her kindness and delicious donut made his day! Also highly recommend the pumpkin cream cheese muffin and lemon poppyseed muffin! Thank you Chimoski Bakery!”

“Love all their goodies and the pizza is to die for. Always make a trip there when we are up in the area on vacation.”

“For exceptional sparkling wines in a picturesque setting, look no further than Mawby. They have a truly impressive selection, and all of the wines I sampled (Green, Gold, and Mille 2019) were fantastic. On top of that, the staff are top notch, not just in the service they provide, but also in their knowledge of the many different wines Mawby produces.

And if sparkling wines aren't your jam, their sister winery, Big Little Wines, is on the other side of the building. So if you're in the area, it's definitely worth a stop. You won't regret it.”

“The rooms are filled with a tv, microwave, toaster, utensils, coffee pot, the beds and pillows were comfy and a great nights rest. The view is a 1000% Awesome. The hospitality and generosity was outstanding. everything was clean and well maintained! Highly recommend this place. If money was no object, I would never leave. I fell in love with this place and I definitely will be back!! they trusted us and we trusted them. it's hard to find genuine people these days and the owners definitely showed us that there are still kind people around!! I'd give this place 1 million stars. I miss it already!!”
