About this property

Historic Blackman-Evans Home

Centrally located on Main Street close to downtown Hillsboro. Step back in time where past meets present when you visit this historic home. You are surrounded by period furniture, while enjoying modern amenities such as A/C, WiFi, TVs, and luxury bedding. Built in the southern style, this creole-inspired cottage with a local stone foundation and original black walnut floors, stair case and wood work transports you to another time. Not suitable for small children, workgroups or pets.

Large front porch perfect for relaxing and watching the world go by.

I rated this stay a 3/5 star because I was not sent the password or directions for the house/stay and had been trying to get a hold of the house owner, VRBO, and Expedia people for hours before I had received a helpful phone call. I was calling consistently from 8:00pm-12:00am the night I was supposed to begin my stay, we were put on hold for a long period of time with the VRBO people, but finally the house owners received our multiple messages and unlocked the house at midnight. The house owners fully refunded me for my first night due to the inconveniences that took place, and the house itself was very clean and cute. This house is antique, not the best for young children, but appropriate for adults. Although the start of the trip was very stressful because I was not sent any keys or information about the VRBO house, I was very grateful that the owners were both very apologetic, and that I was able to receive a refund for the inconveniences that took place at the beginning of our trip, the rest of our stay was very relaxing and enjoyable, this Historic Home would make for a lovely couples get away, but again not the best stay for families with young children.
Stayed 4 nights in May 2024
