Blackwood  Manor

                      English Style

Bed and Breakfast

Blackwood Manor, deep in the mountains near Elk City, Idaho, is a long step back in time.  This 5,000 square foot country home is decorated Tudor and Jacobean style and 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 Medieval 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.  

This large country home is well suited for the bed and breakfast and also for small weddings,
receptions and family gatherings. Consider a Renaissance Style Wedding with period costumes. Excellent local catering is available for such events along with really good musical entertainment. 

      Blackwood Manor is located just 3/4 of a mile from the tiny hamlet of Elk City where well prepared evening meals are served. This is a peaceful retreat deep in the mountains of Idaho between the Selway, Gospel Hump and Frank Church Wilderness Areas and at the head waters of the South Fork of the Clearwater River. It is a fine holiday base for all types of outdoor recreation which could include fishing, hunting, hiking and swimming at a hot springs. Mountain bikes, jeeps, horses or four wheelers can be taken up to Hump Lake, over the Old Elk City wagon road or even across the Magruder Corridor to Darby, Montana. Snowmobiling and cross country skiing are the winter activities.
