About this property

Blackhawk Creek - A Great Family Getaway

Blackhawk Creek LLC is a recently renovated farm home built in 1896. Some rooms have the original hardwood floors and there is oak trim throughout the house, adding to its country charm. There are four bedrooms in this spacious two story home with a full kitchen, large living room and dining room. The home is nestled in the hills between Ferdinand and Santa Claus (less than 7 miles from Holiday World and Splashin' Safari) with convenient access. Large shade trees, a gazebo and gas grill are great for picnics and watching sunrises and sunsets. The home is on a working farm and is great for families. You will be in the country and experience the sights and sounds of nature, including cows and sheep. You may also see deer and wild turkeys.

After a day at Holiday World, antiquing, golfing or sightseeing, the beautiful, tranquil setting of Blackhawk Creek is a great place to unwind. Blackhawk Creek is a wonderful place to make memories.

Family vacation

We had our first family vacation with our grown children and grandsons. It was a great location to go Holiday World. It was a beautiful setting. We loved the place to hangout and spending time for our whole family! Would love to stay here again.

Great country stay

We really enjoyed our stay at this place. We got lost & Gloria was super nice to help us get there & then proceeded to tell us the easy way to go back & forth. Gloria was wonderful to work with & the place was perfect for our group. Interestingly, my daughter & her family live on a family farm & felt right at home. The packet of information includes restaurants in the area. We were only 15 minutes from Holiday World when we followed Gloria’s instructions! 😉🙄😂I highly recommend this place!

Peaceful retreat

The view and the property were so peaceful, it was fun to watch the cows roaming through the pastures, and explaining farm life to our grandkids. It was a close easy drive to Holiday world, which was wonderful at the end of the day when we were very tired and had 6 small children that needed to get back and go to bed. We also enjoyed playing lots of games that were there at the house for our use. We also appreciated comfortable beds.

Great place to stay

We had our annual family Holiday World trip last week. With our family growing over the past couple of years we needed a bigger place to stay. This was the perfect spot with plenty of rooms and space. Conveniently located and perfect for a big group.

Farm House Vacation

This house was built in 1896 and it still has all the charm, yet fully updated. From the floors, to the appliances, windows, doors and everything in between. The owners were very responsive when I had questions. The porch & gazebo were excellent for watching the cows, sheep, and other farm animals. The front faces the sunrises and the rear faces the sunsets. Ample table room for everyone to sit around in the kitchen. We were all extremely happy with every aspect of this house rental. The farm land was an awesome backdrop to everything we did and the house itself was very comfortable and didn't lack for anything. We will definitely be making this a yearly retreat for our family for as long as we can.
