Everything seems to be restored to its original style and looks, and the history of the house is covered well, and it is nice that they point out that the kitchen was attached to the house. Clothes from the time frame the house was built and dresses from the current balls they have. It was all quite lovely.

My husband and I were wanting to take the 2pm tour and did our homework on the cost of the tour prior to our arrival. It was $15/person. As we arrived to the gift shop, we were looked upon with disdain by the cashier-tour guide. Stating she was already cleaning her cash register. My husband hadn't really noticed her behavior toward us yet and said that since we were there, we'd tour it. At that point she said the tour was $20 NOT $15 per person. We were still going to tour it but were shy $3 from the total. She literally just looked at us!! Waiting for us to leave!! A zero rating for her inhospitable attitude.

Girlfriends and I were looking for a place for a short trip and found this B&B. Ms. Rose and Miss Kiana were very professional in welcoming us to the property while making us feel like family as well. We stayed in the Lincoln Suite-highly recommend. The area was spacious and the bed was very comfortable. Of course, what would a B&B be without some delicious breakfast offerings. Ms. Mary - the sweet lady in charge of breakfast made sure we had a wonderful dining experience.

Sunnyside Bed & Breakfast (Natchez, MS)…read more We came out for a night of desserts and music during the spring pilgrimage so I can't speak on the bed and breakfast aspect. The owners were super friendly. The environment was inviting. And don't get me started on how good the desserts were. I heard a lot of people bragging on how good the breakfast was here too! "Rev. William Hamilton Watkins (1815-1881) built Sunnyside as a parsonage in the 1850s. When the Union troops were camped close, a Union soldier by the name of Jones became friends with the Watkins family. Watkins' daughter, Hattie, fell in love with him. Jones was nearby when Confederates came to Watkins for assistance. They ask if he would contribute to the Confederacy. Watkins agreed. His oldest son was fighting in the war, and he hoped that some of his contributions would get to his son. Jones, however, reported Watkins to the Union Army, Watkins was arrested and charged with treason. During his trial, the commandant told Watkins that the crimes for which he was charged are punishable by death. Watkins replied, "I know nothing of the laws of war, only the gospel of God." Watkins' bail was set at $10,000, which is equivalent to about $188,755.21 in 2023. Because he only made $1,100 a year (about $20,763.07 in 2023), he could not come up with the money. He remained incarcerated until the end of 1865. Once released, he went on to minister in Jackson, Vicksburg, Woodville, and other places."

Lansdowne (Natchez, Mississippi) -built in 1853 as a wedding gift for George Matthews Marshall and his wife, Charlotte Hunt. Charlotte was the daughter of David Hunt, a wealthy planter known as "King David." The estate was named after their English friend, the Marquess of Lansdowne, reflecting the couple's admiration for English landed gentry. The mansion showcases Greek Revival architecture and retains many original features, including Italian marble mantels and Zuber & Cie wallpaper. The estate originally spanned 727 acres and was a working cotton plantation, relying on enslaved labor before the Civil War. During the war, George Marshall was wounded at the Battle of Shiloh and subsequently paid a substitute to serve in his place. In 1865, Union soldiers attempted to loot Lansdowne, but the family's butler, Robert, had hidden their silver under the floorboards, thwarting the theft. After the war, the Marshalls faced economic challenges due to the abolition of slavery. Charlotte sold butter and eggs to support the family and maintain the estate. Despite these hardships, Lansdowne remained in the Marshall family and has been carefully preserved. Today, it encompasses 120 acres and is still owned by descendants of George and Charlotte. The estate offers tours and operates as a bed and breakfast, allowing visitors to experience its rich history and original furnishings.

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.
