It's a lovely building with a big driveway and had a nice place to put my bike inside overnight. The rooms were all beautiful and comfy. When I left the next morning I had a surprise bike accident not too far down the Trace. Miss Isabelle came and helped me off the road, and then did *everything* in her power to try and get my bike (and myself) back in working order. She is truly an angel who also happens to own a 5 star bed and breakfast. I'd give her 500 stars if I could!! God bless her. This is THE place to stay in Port Gibson, whether you're biking the Trace or not. It really is beautiful, the company was great, and breakfast was good! A 5 star review before Isabelle's great kindness, but even more so after. Thank you so much!

I've known them both for many years as exceptional and inspirational Yoga teachers in New Orleans. "Collina House is an 1830's home perched atop 8 1/2 acres of manicured grounds surrounded by dense woods." It is also listed on the National Historic Register. I've walked through many historic homes looking and not touching, but this house is actually a home. There are comfortable chairs and couches that are to be used and enjoyed. A lovely front porch, back patio with fountain, game room/library, music room and dining room are there to be lived in. It is not a museum! Many lovely and comfortable bedrooms, too. Our retreat was five days and four nights of comfort, care and enrichment. I really didn't want to leave and am planning to return in the very near future.

We committed to stay there based on her responsiveness. Upon arrival, we were met with wonderful hospitality and the offer for some grilled-cheese sandwiches. Claire could see that we had been riding all morning and knew we could use a pick-me-up. The whole experience was welcoming and cozy. We were able to walk into town and grab a bite to eat and Claire recommended we visit the historic cemetery, so we made the short walk to see it. It's fascinating. If you're looking for a quiet and relaxing getaway, the Collina House fits the bill. I hope to make a return visit in the future.

Much of the structure is semi-derelict and the photographs are misleading. On our stay, we and our friends were the only guests and we had a terrible time. The toilet waste pipework was apparently blocked when we arrived. Our friends were told that their bathroom must not be used. In fact it was the macerator pump in our room that ran, very noisily, through the night, making proper sleep impossible. In the morning (5.30am) we were told that there had been a leak during the night and that now there was no water anywhere in the house. We were given some bottles of mineral water each so that we could clean our teeth, but we were not able to wash or use the lavatory! We left at 6.00am in search of a gas station. We made an immediate written request for a refund. The owner was very slow to respond, and then completely unsympathetic. She has now prevaricated for three weeks. Resolution was promised by a week ago but we have heard nothing and she fails to respond to our follow-up emails. We give up! DO NOT STAY HERE!

The innkeeper showed us to our room, the master suite, and after we brought our luggage inside, we had a tea party on the veranda, which our kids really loved. Eva, the innkeeper, and Madison, her helper, had great conversation with us as our kids played hide-n-seek before going to the front pond/lake to skip stones off of the bridge. Our room was so spacious, and the bathroom was huge as well. It has a full jacuzzi/hot tub for a bathroom and the walk-in shower has two shower heads and a hand-held shower as well. The bed was incredibly comfortable. In the morning, breakfast was served and both mornings the food was delicious. Eva also gave us some great local places to eat as well.

Monmouth (Natchez, MS)…read more The house is absolutely stunning!!! The staff there is so freaking friendly. And the food,... omggggg it was so good. I got the pork chop and *starts drooling* it was fantastic!! The home was built in 1818 by John Hankinson, a postmaster, lawyer and, steamboat entrepreneur, during the depression that followed the War of 1812. The mansion was a brick two-story in the Federal style. Hankinson and his wife died soon after completing the house and the house was sold at a public auction to Calvin Smith, who one year later sold the property to John Anthony Quitman, the future Governor of Mississippi. John Quitman, originally of New York City, was a partner in a successful Natchez law firm and married Eliza Turner, a member of one of the most prominent families. Quitman purchased Monmouth in 1826. The house was extensively renovated in 1853 in the Greek Revival style. The original brick was covered by stucco, scored to look like stone, and the portico was added to the front, along with the four square columns supporting it. John A. Quitman died at Monmouth on July 17, 1858, apparently a victim of what was then called the National Hotel Disease an ailment similar to Legionnaire's Disease, which many American politicians contracted after staying or dining at the National Hotel in Washington, D.C. His wife died a year later and their children took control of the home. In 1862, when Natchez was attacked by the Union army, most of the slaves fled. Most of Quitman's original possessions were either stolen in 1863 or sold by Quitman's daughters in 1865 due to financial difficulty. The house was spared from further damage during the war, as the daughters befriended a Union general and pledged loyalty to the United States. In 1866, three of the daughters purchased their siblings' share of the property, and by 1890, Annie Rosalie was the sole owner of Monmouth. In 1914, she died and left the home to her nieces, who sold it in 1924. For the next half century, the house was severely neglected with the house and other surviving structures filled with litter and the grounds overgrown. After several changes of ownership, Ronald and Lani Riches of Los Angeles, California, purchased the property in 1978 and restored it to its original condition. The restoration took 3 years. In 1982, after archaeological research determined the location of two small houses used as slave quarters, the buildings were reconstructed on the original sites. Though most of John Quitman's original furnishings had been lost, the house still contained a few pieces such as a sofa, a carved settee, and several chairs. The Riches searched for other furniture and memorabilia from Quitman, and they were able to recover his desk, two four-poster beds, and the Quitman family Bible. Other memorabilia now include the gold sword presented to Quitman by James K. Polk and the United States Congress for his services in the Mexican-American War, as well as the red handkerchief Quitman used to rally his troops.

We stayed in the Pond Cottage 2-bedroom suite and unfortunately had such a poor experience that we…read moreended up paying for both Monmouth and a second hotel in Natchez because we could not stay the night. The "2-bedroom suite" layout was very misleading for three adults. The second bedroom was accessed through the main bedroom, making it awkward for privacy and much better suited for parents traveling with young children. The sitting area was essentially non-functional, leaving us with nowhere to comfortably spend time outside the main bedroom. The room had an extremely strong floral fragrance that was overwhelming and made one member of our party feel nauseated. While the grounds are beautiful in photographs, they clearly needed maintenance. Areas were overgrown and potentially hazardous for elderly guests or those with mobility issues. The parking area became muddy and flooded after only a mild rain. The outdoor furniture was dirty, weathered, and in some cases had exposed metal that made us uncomfortable using it. There was also a noticeable odor of cat urine around parts of the property. The bathroom initially appeared updated, until you encountered the wooden plank transition into the shower and the toilet area, which was so small it was difficult to even turn around comfortably. We specifically chose Monmouth for the immersive historic inn experience and instead found it to be an expensive disappointment and a $300 mistake.
