“Just like Coming Home”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 December 2011

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.

Room Tip: Room #5 is the most popular but next time we will try to splurge and get room #9 because it has a li...

“The Most Enjoyable Two Nights, Ever”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 December 2011

The view from the outside is beautiful, but not as beautiful as the rooms themself. The foyer was decorated in Christmas when we arrived and it got us into the festive mood. For some reason, it just felt like home. The Hosts/Owners were pleasant and accomodating. The breakfasts were second to none. The room, the bed, and the facilities were great. We will definitely visit again.

Room Tip: If what you are looking for is a king size bed, it is available. If you are looking for two queens...

“Great Hosts, Service, and Quality”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 October 2011

This was my first stay at a B&B. The hosts very accomodating. Lynn and Dana made our stay fantastic with a home cooked breakfast and were very friendly. The actual house is beautiful and I felt like I was stepping back in time. I certainly recommend the Edwardian and want to frequent it again.

Room Tip: We stayed in the third floor Father Marquette room which was quiet and a nice getaway from the rest...

“Highly recommended.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 October 2011

This Inn is perfect, and it's proprietors are just fabulous. So many good things to say about it - I'll summarize. Our room was beautiful and very comfortable, it felt as comfortable as home. The Inn itself is stunning in it's beauty, awesome level of maintenance, solid and historical feel. Bathrooms were nice, TV was great, and the breakfast was just perfect. One of the things I liked most was that the owners were able to provide some historical insight into the building and into the growth and heydays of Helena. I complimented the owners on the fact that hot water was always instantly available, they smiled and explained that's because they have a water recirculation system installed. Attention to detail - that sort of sums it up for me.
