Beautiful home--Ugly service…read more We were so excited to stay in this historic home, based on past reviews and even added a second night to our original reservation. We checked in after dark and I wasn't given directions to our Galleries room which was in the third story of another building around the corner from the main house. Thankfully, I had seen the layout online before we arrived and we eventually found our room. Macy texted soon after, asking if we found our room and apologized for the "stray dogs in our parking lot".There were three large dogs and one stayed close by, barking as we were unloading and for quite a while afterward. We travel with two small dogs and it didn't feel safe for them or us. I called the City of Vicksburg and they stated that the Corner's owner, Macy, had told them not to pick up the stray dogs when animal control had been called out in the past. She was given a solution that would have helped keep guests comfortable and chose not to proceed. We slept in our clothes because the bed was not clean. There were also dead bugs on the floor, and the rugs had not been vacuumed. Macy asked for pictures to show her housekeeper and apologized for the "ladybugs" (cockroaches). There was a coffeemaker provided--about 2 feet from the toilet. The jetted tub was older and based on the general uncleanliness of the room, we could not bring ourselves to use it. There was no shower. Due to these experiences, we chose to leave the B & B early the next morning and not stay the second night as planned. I texted Macy so she wouldn't have to provide breakfast. The town of Vicksburg was delightful and we enjoyed breakfast and coffee from Bohemia Cafe and Bakery, walked throughout downtown, viewed the Riverfront murals, shopped at a great indoor flea market, and visited the National Military Park. We had some wonderful BBQ from Big Bees and eventually resumed our leisurely journey. Upon arriving home, we found Macy had emailed us a voucher for a free night's stay at their property. Although I appreciate the gesture and admission of fault, we do not plan to stay there again and this is of no use to us. My husband called this week to discuss and Joe (the other owner) answered. Joe swore at my husband, and said we left early because "we just had somewhere to be" and that we should call our credit card company. Wow. The grounds are gorgeous. We believe the home has been well preserved and the river view from our balcony took us back in time. The neighborhood is sketchy. We are leaving this review to inform travelers such as ourselves: who simply wish for good service, clean rooms and hosts who take ownership of any misses. This visit was a miss. You decide if this is a place for you.

All the furniture is period specific and the wall coverings and rugs reflect the same. Many of these old mansions are drafty and damp, this was is not.

Macy made us a pot of tea before breakfast on Sunday. Sunday morning breakfast was a very nice meal. Quiche, ham, hash brown casserole, biscuit and fruit. We were needing to leave before breakfast on Monday. Macy got up early on Monday morning and there was a pot of tea for us! Excellent service! I would recommend this venue to everybody.

It's up for sale now so hopefully this will continue with the new ownership. I rated this a 3 because one of the reasons to get a place to stay is for a good nights rest and if you look on a map (as I should have) there are train tracks in very close proximity to this place and after staying there I can tell you that these are very well used tracks. I was tipped off by this when I checked in and they gave us earplugs. For me it is a great place to visit but not for getting a good night's rest.

Firstly, this is a historic site that is TRYING to be renovated to be modernized with creature…read morecomforts without destroying its 19th century charm. We stayed in the River View Suites, NOT the main house because we were traveling with our dog and only certain suites accommodate guests with dogs. In short, don't plan a stay at the River View suites expecting modern anything in terms of decor, lighting, bath, etc. Upon approach, pulling into the lot, it is at best intriguingly confusing, and at worst awkwardly sketchy. In short, the main house is a beautifully authentic house surrounded by grounds that mostly do not match that of the main house. First impressions set a tone, so the owner would do well to consider paving all parking/driveway areas and polishing the greenery/foliage. The main building where you check-in and can stay is beautiful (to anyone who admires authentically well-preserved 19th century homes). The grounds themselves are filled with the potential to convey the opulent charm of the 19th century gardens that adorned homes such as this one. However, they are a work in progress and you shouldn't expect to have your breath taken away in their current state. I will point-out, the pool area is a quaint little space with foliage and four ornamental fountain statues adorning each corner of the pool. It's small but uniquely inviting. Now in terms of accommodations... As stated, we stayed in one of the neighboring buildings (River View Suites, suite 34), on the "2nd floor" (which is technically the 3rd floor because there is a ground level used for housekeeping activities such as laundry). The 2 flights of stairs are steep so be warned if you have difficulty climbing stairs. The view up there is nice, overlooking some of the grounds and a piece of the river behind it. All-in-all, besides the occasional thumping of subwoofers coming from cars that drive on the street behind the property, it was a peaceful location on the grounds. Inside the suite itself, the appointments are all intended to be authentic to the 19th century so don't expect a couch/chair to melt into at the end of a long day touring Vicksburg. Having been to plenty of 19th century plantation homes and mansions across the south, I didn't mind it, and it was something worth experiencing once (ie being surrounded by classic furniture/decor). In terms of comfort, the king bed with a 25" flat screen was a welcome retreat after a long day exploring Vicksburg and/or enjoying the huge balcony of our suite (which is shared with two other suites, but they were unoccupied most of our stay). The balcony runs end-to-end with the building so even if the other suites were/are occupied, you shouldn't feel cramped but you will share the space. Where the suite was found a bit wanting was ventilation. The AC works well (constant 70 degrees) but air flow is non-existent in the bathroom spaces (double sink-vanity area, separate shower area, and separate toilet/jacuzzi tub area). That made for a constantly humid feeling while in the bathroom space (if there is an operational fan/vent, we couldn't find it). The bedroom area also does not have the best airflow but the airflow is certainly adequate enough to make it comfortable. A note about the bathroom: the shower is something to behold. Specifically, the shower-head. For Seinfeld aficionados, think "Commando 450." This thing is capable of bathing circus elephants. Also, the toilet was wobbly; not to the point where you felt like you were fishing on the Mississippi but just enough to question your sanity a bit. In terms of staff/service/cleanliness, the entire suite and property was clean. And every staff member we encountered, morning (for complimentary breakfast) and night (for formal dinner), was a delight. Everyone was very polite, friendly, and accommodating. Note: the food was good but nothing standout-ish. I would only eat here out of convenience of staying here. In closing, with enough investment, this place could be a truly amazing destination for people seeking an experience that transports them back to a taste of the 19th century. It offers an ambiance and environment you won't easily find anywhere else. I think this location is a microcosm of Vicksburg itself: a beautiful place with the potential to become the most beautiful version of itself.

I was slightly late for arrival, but Paul and Carolyn said not to worry. Upon arriving I discovered the B&B is located a ways south of downtown, and the surrounding neighborhood seemed a bit run-down. Also, there were several dogs roaming in the street. After waiting some time for the dogs to disappear, I went into the main building to meet with Paul. Inside the main building looked in keeping with its exterior, with lots of antiquated artifacts scattered about. I forgot the B&B was basically cash-only (a bit strange given we're in 2018, but I ran with it anyways), so I ran to an ATM to withdraw cash to pay for my stay. After receiving keys I headed to the Gardenia Room. Upon entering the room, I developed this sinking feeling--something about the place just felt awful, like someone's broken dreams. Surrounding one actual painting were several small replicas of expressionist paintings in cheap plastic frames, an old tube television sat atop of a chest and below the level of the bed, to the right of the chest was a non-brand name microwave sitting on top of a refrigerator which appeared to be not working and daisy-chained to an outlet. The bed looked clean and comfortable, but draped about and around the headboard was a length of hot pink lace that did not seem to match anything else in the room. There was one small window to the left of the door, and it made me feel somewhat better to kep it open. I tried to sleep, but my cold/sinus infection was exacerbated by the heater. On the low heat setting, the heater fluctuated every few minutes between about 60 and 75 degrees. The trains didn't bother me as much as the heater. The combination of illness and fluctuating temperatures allowed me little sleep. The next morning I awoke, and found a wasp on the headboard. I then went to the bathroom to run the shower and found a dead roach in the tub. Soon after, I for some reason decided to look into the heater, and could see several dead roaches in the vents. I called Paul and told him I was going back to New Orleans because I was to ill to go to the meetings I was in Vicksburg for, and it was then that I discovered there is a no-refund policy within 7 days of a scheduled stay. It seemed like given I was sick and my lodging was for business purposes, and was not aware of the policy, that it would have been reasonable to refund me despite the policy, but that didn't happen. I really wanted to like this place, the person who recommended it said it has improved and to disregard earlier critical Tripadvisor reviews, but by all appearances it has not changed for the better.
