    Odds are if you are a tourist, you come to Natchez, Mississippi, in search of history. Natchez is…read morenot the easiest place to get to in Mississippi, stuck away in a somewhat remote corner of the state along the mighty Mississippi River, just north of New Orleans where the River exits to the Gulf. History seeps from the sidewalks in this beautiful town. Natchez has many historic claims including being originally Natchez Indian territory, then part of France, then Spain, before becoming part of the United States and then Mississippi. You'll find structures here relating to each of these eras due to the strong historic preservation ethic alive in this town. Every historic preservation effort in the state of Mississippi traces its roots back to Natchez. My late wife was inspired by the beauty of Natchez and the history here to work a lifetime in Corinth to preserve it's historic past. Recently, I was privileged to spend a night in this lovely bed and breakfast. This Edwardian era home built around 1910 has been lovingly restored and furnished immaculately with antiques and period furnishings. If you are looking for accommodations that are shiny and new, this is not the place for you. Expect some squeaks in the floor and offsets in the floor in some places where modern additions have been made to accommodate things like indoor plumbing. Stairs to the upstairs bedrooms are somewhat narrow and steep. The magnificent view upstairs is the only compensation if you are fit enough for the climb. What you can expect here is a gracious host, an absolutely breathtaking view from the front and upstairs porches, a sumptuous truly Southern style breakfast, fine china and silverware, and an ambiance that will give you a sense of a bygone era. You will, in short, be transported back in time which for some of us is a good thing. If you are lucky enough to enjoy a visit here, I think you will enjoy it as much as I did.

It is a truly elegant and eclectic lodging. Our host was magnificent, both in his hospitality and his cooking. There is no grander vista in all of Natchez than the upstairs porch high above and overlooking the Mississippi River. We practically parked ourselves there with delicious coffee in the morning (delivered to our door) and with cocktails in the afternoon after exploring Natches. I've stayed with two other B&Bs in Natchez in past years and nothing is to compare.

The room was comfortable, the staff absolutely wonderful, and the breakfasts were delicious. We were in town for a family reunion, and on this visit we were made aware of a large side-by-side refrigerator that was available to guests. This was great as we'd brought food packed in ice for 8+ hours and needed to keep it cold. Nell is a wonderful hostess, and each morning our ice bucket was thoughtfully refilled. Although adjacent property owners can be downright nasty when it comes to on street parking, the Burn has lots of "hidden" parking both beside the home, and tons of parking behind. Each owner has put a unique stamp on the home, and Terrell, the current owner, has a wonder collection of books about the history of the south which are available for guests to borrow. This is a great benefit on hot, rainy days when you don't want to go out.

The Burn (Natchez, MS) Soon after their arrival to Natchez, Federal troops began the creation of Fort McPherson, a large earthwork in the northern suburbs of the city. Designed by Capt. Peter Hains of the Engineering Corps, the fortification could accommodate 5,000 troops and provided an unobstructed view of the river and surrounding countryside. The Burn was the headquarters for the Federal Fort McPherson, and later a hospital for wounded soldiers. The Burn was constructed for Aurora, New York, native John P. Walworth. The Walworths named the house The Burn, a Scottish term for brook, and their descendants owned it until 1935.

Anything we could think to ask about, the staff was uber friendly to help. This was my first bed & breakfast experience and I didn't want to leave. Met interesting people, then walked the historic sites after a delicious breakfast at the restaurant. Our room was large. I was afraid of it being too "antique" for me, but it was very nostalgic and gave comfort of an upscale vintage mansion that I was looking for. Highly recommend. Also, visit the other mansions while you're there and take in the artwork and pay attention to the history. You'll love it!

The room is…read moredelightful, clean and well furnished with *two* bed lamps one on each side of the bed (you'd be surprised how often that is not true); there are all the towels etc that you need and they are good ones; there appears to be a full bar though we didn't use it. The cooking in the restaurant is serviceable. The building itself really is an old mansion and it has been very well maintained. It is one block from a coffee house, three blocks from the mighty Mississippi. I'd say it's the place to stay when traveling through Natchez. The staffing on a Sunday night was a little slim so if no one let's you in the front door when you arrive go around the side and come in through the patio.

Linden is known for its front doorway because It served as the inspiration for the front door at Tara in Gone With the Wind. Originally owned by Alexander Moore and passed down to his son, James Moore, the central two-story, 4-room section of the mansion was constructed in 1785, and known as "Oaklands". In 1818, the United States Senator and former Attorney General of Mississippi, Thomas Buck Reed, purchased the property renamed it "Reedland". Senator Reed added the frontispiece to the doorway as well as the East wing. Shortly before his death, Reed sold the residence to Dr. John Ker in 1829. Having moved to Natchez after President Thomas Jefferson appointed Ker's father to the Supreme Court of Mississippi, Dr. John Ker became a prominent physician and planter in the area. Once Ker attained ownership, he changed the name to "Linden". Ker added the living room and the front gallery. In 1849, Jane E. Conner purchased Linden after her husband died, for herself and her 9 children. She planted 7 Cedars of Lebanon in front of Linden, which still stand today. The current owner is the 6th generation of the Conner family.

We would be getting to Natchez in a few hours so we called ahead to find a place and reserve a room for the night. The southern hospitality of Linden BnB was awesome. They went above and beyond to make our stay welcoming and pleasant. We came in late and left kinda early so we never got to meet our hosts face-to-face. But, the managed to make us feel very welcome. They communicated with us to make our check-in extremely easy, and offered to arrange an after hours meal if we needed it (we didn't). When we arrived our names were printed in the welcome letter. The pralines were a nice local touch. My wife loved the big shower head with a lot of water pressure. We would have loved to stay longer and enjoy the beauty of this place. It is clearly cared for with love. Thank You for the pleasant memory and delightful stay in the Feltus room. ~ Alvon & Amy Brumfield
