Weekend getaway

Our weekend stay at Isabella House was perfect! It was step back in time with modern amenities. The house is located within easy walking distance of downtown. Our host, Jackie was so hospitable and fantastic with communication. We would definitely recommend staying here.

We liked it all. The little 1885 house was precious, furnished with appropriate period antiques. The back yard area was wonderful. It was such a pleasure to sit out on the large back porch and drink coffee in the morning. The house is the perfect location being within walking distance from several historic sites in Natchez, including being right across the street from historic 1820 Rosalie. Everything we needed for a pleasant stay was provided.

Very realistic recreation of a period home. They have everything you can think of needing for a stay. Nice back porch and yard area to enjoy a glass of wine - which they were also kind enough to supply. We would definitely stay again.

Everything was exactly as advertized. I can not say too much about how great our host was! They were extremely responsive and even came over to help us with the TV on the same day as they were heading out of town! We enjoyed how close the house is to everything and how cosy the house itself is. You really can't go wrong with this house!

History Surrounds

The house is charming. It's the perfect little cottage to come home to after a day of walking the history rich streets of Natchez. The river and bluffs are a short walk away. The lightning bugs on the walk back up from dinner on the river was a great way to end the evenings. Thanks Jackie!

Great stay in Natchez

Terrific stay at Isabella Cottage in the beautiful city on the bluff. My cousin and I were visiting Natchez for the Restoring Hope weekend, hosted by Our Restoration Nation. Isabella House has a great location. Super cute decor, comfy bed, nice bathroom and kitchen. Great back yard and covered porch, although when we were there it was too darn hot to enjoy it. Yes there was traffic noise, but we knew that ahead of time and weren't really bothered by it at all. Nice place all around and would recommend it to others.

Love the history

Everything was great. I love the old vintage plumbing fixtures. The place was very conveniently located very clean. The porches and courtyard were fabulous. My only con was the traffic noise all night. Had I seen the earplugs that were provided this wouldn’t have been an issue.

We went spend our anniversary weekend in Natchez, the Isabella House was just perfect. I felt like I was talking to my friend when speaking with the owner, she was wonderful. The cottage was more than perfect, there is nothing that Ms Jackie did not think of having for her guests. She even had prizes for us :) The cottage was simply inviting, it is so cute and clean!! We will definitly come back her and would HIGHLY recommend this to anyone. The Isabella House was wonderful!

Cute house, good location

We really enjoyed our stay here, wish we would have stayed longer. Natchez is a really neat city. The house is very cute & very clean. The outdoor space (and the big fan) were very relaxing. The free bottle of wine was good for relaxing also. ;-) It's a busy street but the noise machine was great & it does quiet down later at night so we slept great. It was fun to just walk around town and look at the neat houses. We had a great lunch at Pig Out Inn. We would not hesitate to stay here again if we get back to Natchez sometime!

We loved staying here! Love the decor as there is something beautiful and different in every room. The house is well stocked with anything you possibly need, clean and comfortable. The location of the house is an incredible bonus. We were able to take a long walk along the bluff every morning. We also walked to several ante-bellum homes and restaurants ( don’t miss The Little Easy). Loved being able to walk down to the Under-the-Hill Saloon. The back porch is really a nice place to start the day. Communication with the host was quick and pleasant. Staying here made our trip to Natchez a wonderful experience

Awesome place to stay for many reasons...

Isabella House is the perfect home away from home while staying in Natchez. So perfect, in fact, that we have sworn off hotels and other rentals! We have stayed at many different hotels and b&bs around Natchez over the past several years. None can match the convenience or comfort of Isabella House. If we can’t book Isabella House, we stay home! Jackie has been nothing short of wonderful as a hostess-always accommodating and helpful. Communication with her is super easy. The house is clean, well stocked, and very well located in relation to anything you may want to do while in Natchez. Cannot day enough good things about Isabella House! — J & O, Effie, LA

Noise

If you are looking for peace and quiet this is not the place for you. The amount of noise in particular traffic is unbearable and I am hard of hearing on account of working 30 years on the railroad. It is so loud that they furnish earplugs. No mention of this in their add.

Perfect getaway

Isabella House was the perfect little retreat for me and my hubby. We went to Natchez to attend mass at St Mary's Basilica. We are so happy we found this little gem for some alone time. It was quite chilly when we arrived but the home heated up quickly. It reminded me of my grandmother's home with so many little added touches. And the bottle of wine was a great added bonus to sit out on the back patio and enjoy. The only possible problem is the home is right on the street so if you are a light sleeper just plug in the sound machine that is provided and have sweet dreams. The bed was very comfy too. Jackie is a wonderful host even though she was out of the country, she kept in contact to make sure everything was to our liking. Hopefully we will be able to return to Isabella House again soon.

Charming and clean

The photo's are accurate..Jackie communicated with me often and was quick to respond to my questions. This Natchez cottage has been updated but also has interior accurate to the period. I was amazed that even the window sills were clean. Appliances are up to date, tub can be hard to navigate if you have any issues with balance, but we knew what the set up was beforehand and managed fine. That back porch is so cozy, great for making memories, drinking coffee in mornings, and I can just imagine the space beyond that with seating area would be ideal for cooler temps around the fire! Thank you for a wonderful place to bring my elderly mother to visit all of her favorite places! She grew up in Natchez, and we have relatives that lived here and some still do. It was perfect for our needs! We used the sound machine provided to help "drown out" the street noise and slept! Thank You!

This cottage is charming and comfortable. It is plenty big enough for our little (3) family. We love that it is in town and within walking distance to many of the places that caught our interest. The tv was easy to figure out--big plus. The beds are super comfy. Overall, it was a great experience and we are all impressed with the accommodations.
