Blackwood Manor
Mediaeval
English Style
Bed and Breakfast
Blackwood
Manor
is a long step back in time
as
is
the tiny hamlet of Elk City, Idaho.
Blackwood Manor
is located on 56
acres with gorgeous views of
mountains, woodlands and meadows. Several
horses along with
docile, classic, long haired
Scottish Highland
Cattle, the
oldest registered breed of cattle, graze in the pasture.
The long and occasionally muddy driveway winds up to the large country
residence and outbuildings. A small
flock of Lincolnshire sheep along with peacocks, rabbits, chickens, ducks and
geese graze on the lawns. Guests
are welcome to meet the animals and ramble through woods and fields where
wildlife is abundant.
Peace
and tranquility
exist
in this olde world
style sanctuary where Mediaeval History
is the inspiration for
the European castle like atmosphere.
Heavily carved, dark wood antique
furniture, tapestry hung walls, canopied beds with full bed curtains and three wood
burning fireplaces add to the feeling of stepping back in time.
Local legend adds a resident ghost.
A
friendly and personal welcome await
you. Guests are welcomed like members of the family and an evening
chat about the days activities is always fun.
Guest lodgings
feature a private bath and two bedrooms, one with a canopy bed. The adjoining
reception room is
an English pub with an open log fireplace, dark wood beams, mullion windows and
a full size pool table. A full
English breakfast is served family style in the formal dining room. 
Blackwood
Manor is located just 3/4
of a mile from the tiny hamlet of Elk
City where well prepared e
vening
meals are available.
This is a peaceful retreat deep in the mountains of Idaho between
the Gospel Hump Wilderness Area, the Selway Bitterroot Wilderness area and the
Frank Church Wilderness Area, and at the head waters of the South Fork of the
Clearwater River. It is a fine
holiday base for outdoor recreation
which could include fishing, hunting, hiking, swimming, mountain biking, jeep
trips, horseback riding and snowmobiling and cross country skiing
in the winter. Rates
are $75. - $125. Non-smokers only please.
Your
pets and even horses are welcome with prior arrangements.
