This was a beautiful historic home. We had most everything we needed. The shower head had great water pressure. The porch was gorgeous and the town was adorable. Only concerns were only lock on the front door was the storm door which was disconcerting. There were also several windows that had broken locks. It would have been nice to have TVs in all the bedrooms. Overall great experience.

This house was built in 1897. It is immaculately clean inside and out. It is well furnished, and professionally decorated. I just purchased and installed a new storm door lock and decorative handle which locks from the inside and out. This small town has virtually no crime. I pride myself in having the best for my guests, down to special coffee and shampoos. There is one large TV on the wall in the living room and one TV in the bedroom (and you rented for 2 people). I charge $125 a night for a lovely house that accommodates 6 guests. I'm not sure what more I could do as a host.

Beautiful historic home that was within walking distance of our event. All the small touches made it a lovely stay. The front porch was the highlight of our trip.

Step into slower times staying in this lovely curated historic home in the quaint little town of Blackwater. We had the place to ourselves where we could swing and chat on the front porch or gather for conversation in the parlor. Perfect location when visiting Lyceum Theater up the road in Arrow Rock. Everything we needed and then more. We will return!

Blackwater Stay

We enjoyed our stay! The house was very clean and we loved the charm of an old home. It was a perfect fit for our elderly mother to enter and navigate with ease.

We went to the play and the house was perfect . We took a nice walk around the neighborhood. Shopped at the Mercantile and went to the stores in Arrow Rock . The beds were comfy and the dining room table worked good for games. The front porch was nice to sit and have our morning coffee.
