My husband and I stayed at the Pillars for 3 nights. It was our first time to visit Natchez and the stay in a historic home was a wonderful part of our experience. The house is convenient to many of the pilgrimage home tours we took and close to other attractions in historic Natchez. We had a great breakfast each morning at the Guest House Inn and Restaurant via a voucher from our hosts. The property was very private and quiet and the bed was one of the most comfortable we have slept on. Our hosts were very gracious and provided us with everything we needed. We definitely recommend The Pillars for your travel to Natchez.

This home is so beautiful and well-maintained. It was decorated beautifully and their dog and cats are really friendly and help visitors feel like they're at home! Everything was super clean too and the house stays quiet so no one's disturbing you. It's also walking distance to the downtown area and there are shaded sidewalks for most of the walk. The hosts were very friendly and accommodating and I can't recommend the city or this house enough for anyone interested in getting away for a little bit!

My husband and I along with our small dog Remi decided on a last minute getaway to Natchez. This was our first experience at staying in a bed and breakfast. We had such a lovely time. The Crain’s made us feel so welcome. We thoroughly enjoyed meeting Frankie and Sherlock also. The house and grounds are beautiful and well maintained. We look forward to visiting again hopefully real soon.

I have two issues regarding The Pillars. First: This is not a "Bed and Breakfast." Breakfast is not available on the site. We received a voucher for a free breakfast at another facility, four blocks away from The Pillars. A Keurig Coffee maker was available on our floor, unfortunately the brand of coffee provided was terrible! Second: The bathroom's floor had a decided tilt that made getting to the toilet or taking a shower like being on stormy seas!

Thank you for taking time to post a review. Our guest's reviews tell us what we need to do to make their stay more enjoyable .We regret you were not satisfied with your accommodations or our breakfast arrangements. We used to serve continental breakfast for our guests. We hade multiple requests for full breakfasts, so we decided to give our guests vouchers they could use for anything from continental to full breakfasts at a boutique hotel with a full service dining room, 4 blocks from our house, in the center of historic downtown Natchez. We provide a 24 hour coffee bar with a Keurig coffee maker, cream, sugar, & artificial sweetener on the floor with our guest rooms, & a covered outside gallery with comfortable seating overlooking our courtyard and fountain. We're sorry you didn't like our selection of Starbucks coffee. Based on your comments we've added two more kinds of Starbucks coffee so our guests will have more choices. We also have mini refrigerators in our rooms with ice buckets and drinking glasses, and provide lock boxes for our guests valuables to make their stay as pleasant as possible. Our home was built in 1870. Sometime in the mid 1900's a portion of the rear gallery was enclosed to create a bathroom for the room you stayed in, but the floor which was slopped to allow the rain water to run off was not leveled. The fixtures have been updated numerous times over the years, but the tile floor has never been leveled, which is not unusual for a 150+ year old house.Other than your dissatisfaction with your accommodations and our breakfast arrangements we hope you enjoyed your visit in Natchez. Thank you again for taking time to post a review.

Too Short a stay to enjoy loved it
Just a one night stay but it was great experience as the room was so beautiful. Our host was always available and if you are a pet lover what a bonus as the family pet dog and cat always want attention. Private gated parking for out motorcycles was perfect. Breakfast provided by first class restaurants only blocks away. Don’t stay on a hotel unless you desire a crowd. Will be back.

Sherlock was the star of the show! The cute doggy that greets you. The house was amazing and was in a great location to walk everywhere. During check in, maps and activities were given to us and we had a tour around the house. Natchez is a beautiful place with lots of restaurants and stores to explore. Definitely recommend.

The furnishings are awesome. The house was built in 1870, and I lived in homes built in 1885, 1822, and 1862. So, it was right up my alley. Natchez is lovely, and much nicer than Vicksburg. The temperatures were quite high, so we didn't walk too much around town, but in cooler months strolling around would be a treat. Highly recommended.

Paulette was very welcoming, I regret not having the time to speak with her more about her life and adventures. *I think she was famous at some point in life! Sherlock, the newest welcoming committee was a GREAT surprise. :) The Red Room was beautiful and the bed very comfortable, good thing because I came back with a migraine one day. Everything was in walking distance along with a historic walk down any street to downtown Natchez. My only issue was I was not informed of the extra charge for the "breakfast voucher" which we never used. Otherwise I would absolutely stay again!

Thank you for taking time to post your review. I told you we'd appreciate your doing so, even if it was a poor review, so we could correct deficiencies.We are pet friendly, have hosted many guests with pets, while our other guests didn't have pets.You were not ask to leave. You were ask to keep your dog from barking. I was in my office, across the hall from your room. Your dog was was consistently barking. I thought it was because you weren't with him. Shortly thereafter you came out of your room, took him out, and returned to your room. He continued barking. I knocked on your door, said we had other guests checking into rooms next to your room, his barking would bother them, and said you needed to keep him from barking. You replied that it was hard to keep dogs from barking. Shortly thereafter, you ask me to refund the charge for the next two days, and said you would find other accommendations. We've had many guest with dogs. None have barked when their owners were with them. I had to either address this matter with you, or our other two guests who would be disturbed by your dogs barking.Thank you again for posting your review. We want our future guests to understand our policies. If you'd read this review you would not have made your reservation somewhere else.
