He also recommended a few bars and restaurants we could enjoy for afterwards. The tour starts at 7:00, and Scott's recommendation which I agree with is to eat before.

Ok now for a history lesson: Longwood (also known as Nutt's Folly) -the largest octagonal house in the United States. This 6 story, 30,000 square foot mansion was designed by Samuel Sloan, a well-known architect from Philadelphia for cotton baron Haller Nutt and his wife, Julia. Construction began in 1860, but came to an abrupt halt when the "War Between the States" broke out in 1861 due to the workers being from the Union state, Pennsylvania. The exterior was mostly complete but the home's interior was left unfinished. Between February and July 1862, using his own slaves, Nutt finished the 8 room basement level. The interior walls were plastered and the present floor was installed. The Nutt family then moved into this completed section of the mansion. In the fall of 1863 the Union armies devastated Haller Nutt's Louisiana plantations, causing him a loss of $1,020,540.07. He died of pneumonia in 1864. Julia and his 8 children continued to live on the finished 1st floor. Because Nutt was a recognized supporter of the Union, his heirs (between 1866-1911) were eventually able to collect a total of $188,269.66 as partial compensation from the US Government for Nutt's losses. Once completed, the home would have had 32 rooms, 26 fireplaces, 115 doors and 96 columns. The rotunda was designed to have a system of mirrors inside the cupola to reflect sunlight down. Also, the shape of the cupola was designed to pull hot air upward, creating an updraft drawing fresh air through the lower floors. The property was deeded to the Pilgrimage Garden Club in 1970 and designated a National Historic Landmark in 1971.

I am not sure exactly what I was expecting when I wanted to visit this house, but this way exceeded…read moremy expectations. Driving up, you leave the main road, pay at the gate house, then drive along a winding gravel road and park at the back of the house. You go into the gift shop and show your receipt that you got from the gate house. They walk you into the first floor, or what the original owners intended to be the basement. Except for the center, all rooms around intended to be various rooms for entertainment and so forth but ended up being the living area for the family. It was wonderfully decorated. Then you go upstairs, and you can see that despite the outside of the house looking as if it was all intact, it was incomplete. The war between the states was underway when it came time to work on the main portion of the house, so you can see the bones of the structure and how things should have been. It was amazing and breathtaking. Outside, if you pay attention, you can see the fingerprints of the enslaved on the bricks as all bricks were made and fired on site. The details are amazing. I would recommend for anyone in the area.

It is in her large and comfortable van that she spins her tales of the history of Natchez, tells about ghosts and spirits, and visits the grave of its most beloved cat (the esteemed Tripod).

Ms. Brown is very personable and you will immediately feel comfortable with her. She has a wealth of knowledge to share with the visitors, and is indeed happy to do so. The comfortable driving tour is a good way to learn about Natchez and see a variety of locations. They range from a hour and a half to about three hours.

This past weekend was my second time to stay there, and although there's an abundance of exquisite bed and breakfasts in Natchez, I love this place so much I really can't see myself staying anywhere else. You will not find a better view in town. Imagine yourself standing on the upper balcony, contently gazing out over the bluff as a couple of tug boats push barges down the river as the sun sets over the Mississippi. You can see the lights across the river in a nearby Louisiana town. It's picture perfect. There's also a lovely kidney shaped pool with bamboo blocking the view from the street, and plenty of comfortable furniture on the wrap around porch where you can sit and relax. It's just a quick walk across the street to the historic Natchez City Cemetery, and a short drive to downtown. This place is absolutely gorgeous, inside and out. The stunning main dining room is in the middle of the house. The interior is less elaborate than many of the historic mansions you would tour, but they make up for it with breathtaking views and upgraded amenities. There are no ornate marble fireplaces or hand-carved moldings, but there are no cramped, dingy dated bathrooms either (at least not in our room). Our room was filled with period antiques, including a firm and comfortable canopy bed, a mirrored armoire, a drop lid desk, two chairs in front of the fireplace, and a few tables. There was also a television, a mini refrigerator, dark wood laminate flooring (so we didn't have to worry about coming in wet from the pool or shower) and a gorgeous updated bathroom. The bathroom had beautiful travertine tile on the floor and half way up the walls, accented around the shower with glass tile. The bathtub was deep enough that I could soak my entire body at one time. The room and bathroom were pristine. It was the perfect combination of old meets new and we loved everything about it. The trip was planned as a romantic impromptu getaway for my husband and me. My husband had to work, so my 20 year old son went with me. The establishment gladly provided a fold out cot for him, complete with a thick comfortable mattress, at no additional cost. He enjoyed the stay as much as I did. Worth mentioning, they host weddings and other gatherings so you can enjoy that incredible view and experience with your loved ones. If you want to experience Natchez at its finest, Weymouth Hall is the place you'll feel right at home. It was so perfect we didn't want to leave. I'm already planning my next visit.

In terms of pricing, Twin Oaks is definitely a deal compared to some of the other b&b's in town.

Regina and Doug are very knowledgeable of the area. When my friend and I told Regina we were planning a food tour of the south, she gave us advise on where to visit and what to eat. Great advice - we loved every restaurant she recommended. Doug knows a lot about the history of Natchez and was such a fun person to talk to. I definitely learned a lot from him. When my friend and I were leaving Natchez, Regina told us we can contact her if we run into any trouble during the rest of our tour of the South. That meant a lot to me knowing that she really would come help us if we needed her help.

This particular room only had a tub with a handheld shower, but we knew that going in. The room was comfortable and furnished with antiques. The whole house, for that matter, reflected historic charm in architecture and furnishings. The home was clean and cozy. We were the only guests staying that night, so we had the whole house to ourselves. We let ourselves in and out with keys/keypad, and the caretaker was in a cottage home on the property only a few steps away. The only things we would have improved if possible was that our room got uncomfortably warm during the night. We had to turn down the thermostat in the main hallway (which felt much cooler) to adjust our room. Our room also on the front of the house, so there was some noise from traffic (engines, music, talking) during the night. The best thing about our stay was the breakfast. Warm bacon, the freshest farm eggs with thick, rich yolks cooked to order on English muffins with warm hollandaise. Warm large sweet muffins with homemade fig jam, coffee/tea, yogurt with fresh sliced strawberries. There was a washing machine and dryer that guests could use for $10 extra. The location was very convenient and within walking distance of everything we wanted to visit in town. The off-street parking on the property was nice to have for security since we had our car loaded with camping gear. Yes, pricier than box hotels and not as fancy as some of the mansion B&Bs in Natchez, but had a cozy, personalized feel of a family home.
