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 house does not act as the place guests stay. They stay in other buildings that are on the property. Guest services were very nice as well.

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!

It offered a perfect retreat where history, tranquility, and impeccable hospitality converged. We wholeheartedly recommend a visit to Brandon Hall for an unforgettable experience.

I stumbled upon Brandon Hall by accident while planning a quick weekend getaway to Natchez, and I…read morehave to say, we really lucked out with this one. The home is a 10 minute drive from downtown Natchez, but WELL worth the distance. We ended up getting lost, so be sure to follow the directions from the website instead of putting it on your phone. We drove up to the mansion blindly, and were astounded as to how magnificent and beautiful that the grounds were. It is breathtaking. Kaiser, the owner greeted us upon check in and led us to our rooms. We stayed in the master suite upstairs with the en-suite side bedroom. The rooms are furnished impeccably with period appropriate furniture. It was immaculately clean. The home has a wrap around porch complete with picturesque rocking chairs on the second level overlooking the beautifully landscaped front yard. Lush, green trees, and beautiful flowers are EVERYWHERE!!! There is no on site food, or beverages, so be sure and bring your own. They also do not allow red wine, so keep that in mind. The beds are a dream, and it is almost surreal to wake up to nature calling outside your windows and the smell of freshly cooked breakfast coming from downstairs. Breakfast was divine, and afterwards, Kaiser gave us an informative and interesting tour of the home and it's history. I would recommend Brandon Plantation to anyone who visits Natchez. It is one of the most picturesque locations that I have ever visited in my life, and paints the perfect picture to what it must have been like to live on a plantation in the antebellum south.

I booked this inn with 2 other couples. When we got here, we were told "rooms got moved around". So…read more2 of my friends were moved to the main house, and I was still in the garden view. Not end of the world but didn't want to be separated. THEN we get to the room, and we have ZERO blankets. Just a sheet. And because they have ZERO staff on site from 10pm to 8 am, I was screwed and froze all night! Called the next morning and asked for blankets, told them I had a sheet only. No apology or anything! There are coffee pots in the room but no water to make coffee. So bring your own water. Also, I'm road tripping and this was the worse (hardest) bed yet. Staff were friendly and rooms were clean and of course the mansion is majestic. But my experience here was awful. I froze all night. Terrible experience.

We were attending Angels on the Bluff and needed to change bc we had been traveling all day. We had to haul all of our things into the bathroom by the front desk and try to change in there. My husband had to change in the manager's office upstairs. He found a business card of someone in charge while in there. The guy at the desk was miserable- kept complaining about how there was only one person to clean rooms. We finally were able to check in at 10 pm instead of 4 and room was gross. We had to haul all of our stuff up the steps and room was dirty, no water, and 2 towels. Windows were boarded so couldn't see out. It felt like a box. Guy at the desk could care less- 200% apathetic! Not his problem. My husband called and talked to the person on the business card and that person was supposed to call back! Never did! I should have contested the charges. Now a year later, we ate at The Castle and that is also a disaster! Just avoid the whole place! Drive up, take pics of the home, and drive far far away!

In terms of pricing, Twin Oaks is definitely a deal compared to some of the other b&b's in town. Besides your nights stay, you also get a breakfast at Dunleith and tours of both Twin Oaks and Dunleith. The highlight of this stay was the warm hospitality at Twin Oaks! Regina and Doug are very knowledgeable of the area. When my friend and I told Regina we were planning a food tour of the south, she gave us advise on where to visit and what to eat. Great advice - we loved every restaurant she recommended. Doug knows a lot about the history of Natchez and was such a fun person to talk to. I definitely learned a lot from him. When my friend and I were leaving Natchez, Regina told us we can contact her if we run into any trouble during the rest of our tour of the South. That meant a lot to me knowing that she really would come help us if we needed her help.
