We had a very nice stay at the Riverboat B&B. We were only going to be staying in Natchez for one night, so we selected the smallest and least expensive room. 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. read more
