Madge was so warm and welcoming and helpful with suggestions for hearing blues and dinner. Home was lovely and the room was spacious and comfortable. Breakfast provided was ample for continental.

Mary United States of America

MADGE WAS A WONDERFUL HOST AND THE HOUSE HAD EVERYTHING YOU COULD THINK OF. IT IS SET UP LIKE A HOME

Marjorie United States of America

Madge and Billy Howell are great hosts and made us feel comfortable in their lovely home. A range of breakfast options were provided and the house is spacious. Our hosts provided a selection of documentaries on Clarkesdale and the Blues an were able to recommend music and food options.

Campbell Australia

Madge was wonderful and very personable and took time making sure I had everything i needed.

Jenifer United States of America

Beautiful, comfortable, well stocked, and close to downtown.

Jim United States of America

House is beautiful. Tree Top room was lovely. Comfortable beds.

Alisa United States of America

Amazing property! It totally felt like home from the minute we walked in. Madge is an amazing host and gave us lots of tips and advice on what to do, what to eat, where to go... anything! :) Would definitely recommend to anyone visiting Clarksdale!

Maria Switzerland

The wonderful warm welcome from mine host who provided a tour of the town & offered suggestions where to go. Visitors to the town are there for the Blues music and the "White House" maintains a delightfully informal environment to the extent I had open access to the in-house baby grand piano! This would have to be the #1 accommodation option in the town.

Reg Australia

All superlatives. We really enjoyed our visit to Clarksdale. Our time with Madge in the White House definitely enhanced our experience. Madge was a friendly, engaging and informative host, extremely thoughtful in anticipating the needs of her guests, assuring a most comfortable stay. The house itself fit our ideal of a grand southern home, beautifully decorated throughout by Madge in an interesting and eclectic manner that was lovely and harmonious. There's a delightful back garden and the house is in a charming historic neighborhood. Dandy the dog is an added bonus. We wished we could have stayed longer and are already thinking of our next visit.

Stanley United States of America

We felt as though we were in our own home, we had the full run of the kitchen, living area, piano, guitar, just so sorry we were staying for such a short time.

Company info

Having been born in Clarksdale but raised in Tallahatchie County on a farm, Magical Madge has vivid memories of her trips to the Delta town with her parents. Invariably, they would drive down the main boulevard, West Second St., where all the big, pretty houses were located. Madge would crane her neck every single time looking for that amazing home on the corner with the huge carport. She imagined what it would be like if she could go inside. In 2010, her dream became a reality when Magical Madge and Chilly Billy Howell had the opportunity to purchase the home and now lovingly call it The Clarksdale White House. (CWH) Having already converted the back Guest House into an overnight accommodation in 2012 called the Delta Bohemian Guest House, they began renting out three of the large bedrooms in the CWH, each with a private bath, to visitors from all over the world. It gives Madge great pleasure to ensure her guests have a positive experience while staying in Clarksdale. Providing guests with clean, large and private accommodations with a personal touch of Southern hospitality and character from Madge, sets stays in the Clarksdale White House apart from any other place.

Property info

The Clarksdale White House (CWH) is a Mississippi Delta Home offering real Southern Hospitality. Built in 1917. The prominent house with a covered parking carport is located in residential Clarksdale, just three blocks from downtown, and owned by hostess and co-founder of The Delta Bohemian® Magical Madge Marley Howell and her husband, Chilly Billy Howell. The CWH is located on West 2nd Street, an iconic thoroughfare connecting Downtown Clarksdale, the heart of the Mississippi Delta and the home of the blues, to the historical residential neighborhood on the West side of the Sunflower River. Choose from The Honey Room, Pap Pap's Clock Room, The East Room/Suite and The Treetop Room. Each of the spacious bedrooms has its own large, private bathroom. The common areas and outdoor private backyard truly offers guests a home away from home. The Delta Bohemian Guest House which shares the private backyard garden with the CWH is a self-contained accommodation offering Delta ambiance loaded with amenities and personalized Mississippi Delta hospitality. The DBGH is ideal for a couple desiring privacy, comfort and attention to detail but it can accommodate up to two adults.

Neighborhood info

The Clarksdale White House and the back Delta Bohemian Guest House are historical homes built in 1917 by a local Mississippi Delta planter who built the home for himself and the guest house for a farm employee named Riley and his wife, who served as the family’s cook. Another bit of trivia: John Nause’s wife, Hazel, was later crowned “Miss Clarksdale.” The front yard, anchored by two large magnolia trees, has an expansive lawn. A magnificent Japanese Magnolia sits on the East side of the house with azalea bushes flanking either side of the entrance door. The magical, private and brick fenced-in back garden lures guests to enjoy its bountiful pleasures. Several tables with large umbrellas make for ideal gathering spots for friends. A tin-roofed picnic table provides a work setting or a unique place to enjoy a meal. The large hammock is a favorite resting place for guests. There is an abundance of shade and numerous plantings giving the back yard a magical feel. The private back garden truly set the Clarksdale White House and Delta Bohemian Guest House apart from all other accommodations in town. Covered parking is provided. The neighborhood is historical and quiet.
