We were disappointed in our recent stay at the Iron Horse in Blackwater for our anniversary. When we arrived we waited and waited to no one ever coming to great us (when their brochure by the front door specifically states in it that "you will be greeted upon arrival in our parlor"), so after standing around for 10 minutes or...

We had visited Blackwater in early Summer when the heat index was 114 degrees, we dined for lunch (Monte Cristo Sandwich suggested) at the Iron Horse Hotel and loved the place, promised we'd all come back. We were traveling with friends and we all agreed we'd love to stay at the Hotel for an overnight. A few months later we... More

When you choose to stay or dine at the Iron Horse Hotel, expect to step back in time when the customer was the first priority. The food is made from scratch, and cooked to perfection.

Lovely room and... More

Also, they had a great wine selection. After dinner we decided to go up to our room and play cards, but we did not have... More

We stayed on a Tuesday night, and much to my delight, the hotel had only one other guest so we had a pick of all of the available rooms! (The other guest had taken the... More
