"My cousin and I stayed at the Guest House Mansion on our first trip to Natchez to tour the beautiful antebellum homes and enjoy a bed-and-breakfast experience. The location was fantastic—within walking distance of shops, restaurants, bars, and historic sites. We especially enjoyed the porch with its rocking chairs and cast-iron tables, where we could relax and enjoy the free entertainment of locals cruising by with music loud enough to hear, feel, and occasionally synchronize your heartbeat to.
The mansion has beautiful period furnishings, and the manager was friendly and professional. Unfortunately, the room seemed to be preserving more history than intended. A musty smell greeted us at the door, the carpet felt gritty and damp underfoot, and even the armoire had its own unique aroma. For perhaps the first time in my life, I was thankful I packed house shoes. Replacing the carpet with tile and area rugs would likely do wonders.
Breakfast was included, which was fortunate because my vacation budget and restaurant prices were having a disagreement. Unfortunately, most of the buffet had also decided to cool off before we arrived. Thank goodness for the scrambled eggs and grits. Overall, the property has charm, character, and a great location. With some deep cleaning, maintenance, and a buffet that stays acquainted with heat, it could be a truly wonderful stay."
