I was in Vicksburg for a week, on business. The year before, I stayed in a hotel on the other side of town. This time, I wanted to be downtown, making the flavor of the town more accessible. I was not disappointed.
This place is utterly charming, a well-preserved taste of the 1800s, in which the house was built. It was like stepping back in time, with all of the modern amenities that you would want in any overnight stay. The floors were shiny and clean. The breakfast was far better than anything you would get in town, fending for yourself. The staff was everything that you would hope for. The bed...the bed was so nice that I asked what brand it was. It was so comfortable! Good food and drink are an easy walk and that saves you the trouble of figuring out how many drinks you should have for dinner, and maybe after dinner. I had purchased some local bourbon and told the Manager, LaTonya, that I was hoping to enjoy some while sitting in a rocking chair, on the porch, and watch a thunderstorm roll in that night. She set out glasses for me and even ice, in case I wanted it.
The house, the bed, the breakfast, the location, they were all amazing! However, the very best part of the entire experience was LaTonya. She cares for her guests as if they are family. Southern hospitality at its finest! She went out of her way to serve me and make sure that I was comfortable.
This is the only place that I will ever stay if I find myself back in Vicksburg!
