My wife just had wrist surgery so I wanted to take her someplace very special where she could quietly relax and rest. We took upstairs room #5 which appears to be a very popular choice. It was the original owners favorite and story goes he liked to sit up there and keep an eye on his steamboats as they plowed the river around Helena. Breakfasts were wonderful and a delightful way to spoil my wife. We lazily walked the historic Cherry Street District, spent way too much in some of the antique and specialty shops, strolled the bricked walkway on top of the levee, and had the Blues Museum in the restored Railroad Depot all to ourselves. People here are genuine and very friendly which is definitely an added plus. Make sure you try to catch the live radio broadcast of Sonny Payne's "It's King Biscuit Time" at 12:15 in the Blues Visitor Center on Cherry Street. Do not miss touring the Pillow- Thompson House for a real treat back in time to the Victorian Era. The Edwardian is everything we could hope for and much, much more. We will be returning again and again.
