So relaxing

The bridesmaids house … great place to get ready for the wedding. Wonderful front porch, back deck, and sun room gave us plenty of areas to sit and talk. It also was perfect for taking pictures. There was not a bad backdrop. It felt like home.

Three grade school friends connecting after 50+ years

It was perfect for our needs. We cooked, talked, played cards, talked, made crafts together, talked, and went to the local craft fair where many of the stores in Blackhorse and other nearby towns participated. Just perfect. We would love to stay there again when the weather is warmer - it snowed 3-4 inches while we there. But it was beautiful.

Great, Great Place!

It was an honor to stay in this great house in Blackwater. The town is quaint, quiet and comfortable. We really enjoyed our stay....particularly the front porch! The house is a gem and has everything that we needed to make our stay great. On our next trip to Blackwater/Arrow Rock, we'll stay here again. Thanks for the very best stay.

Perfect place for our family

Our son was married at Wildcliff, which is about 8 minutes from the house. It was a perfect place to stay to relax, get ready and enjoy time with our family over the weekend. Very clean and has all the amenities you could want, especially being out in the county. The host is very responsive and helpful.

Quiet and quaint setting

This charming little home was perfect for us as we were just wanting a quiet and peaceful place to stay for a few days. We loved walking into the downtown area, which is an easy walk from the home, and visiting some of the local shops. Loved visiting the antique store nearby where we found a few small treasures worth buying. We particularly loved the porch swing and spent some time enjoying the front porch. Would definitely consider staying here again.

The haunted house 😂🤣😂

A wonderful, historic home. We call it the haunted house because the 14 yr old isn’t a fan of anything not shiny or new. The location is great. Some of the furniture is very old. Had a great time.

Wedding weekend in Blackwater

The host held this beautiful property for us for 10 months so we could have a home to work out of for our daughters Wedding. I was so excited to stay at this gorgeous home!!! It was everything and more than I expected! It was very easy to check in and the locations was right behind the wedding reception hall. Our family could walk to and from while setting up and tearing down. Very clean and tidy, the family room was big and comfortable to spend some downtime in the evenings. I just wish I had booked another night just to sit on the front porch swing a while longer.

Perfect country cottage

My daughter and I stayed here while she was performing at The Lyceum in Arrow Rock (10 min drive). The house was adorable and the owner was wonderful and quick to communicate. This would be a perfect place for a couples getaway... close to Arrow Rock to catch incredible live theatre, and Rocheport with a lovely winery and downtown area (and Katy trail access). 5⭐️
