Ideal setting and accommodations

Well-furnished and supplied; a very large space decorated uniquely; great location; wonderful outdoor courtyard. Would love to rent the space again if we return to Natchez. Great place for a short stay or an extended stay. The hosts are quite hospitable. (I would, however, recommend new mattresses for a more comfortable night's rest.)

Great hosts and a wonderful stay in Natchez

My husband and I had a wonderful 3-month stay at the Above the Law apartment. The location in the downtown historic district was perfect for us to walk to shops, restaurants and, of course, the Mississippi River and the gorgeous bluff area. The apartment was beautifully furnished with art work, period furniture and interesting collections, and we also made good use of the street-side and courtyard balconies, especially in the mornings and evenings. Our hosts, Richard and Jill, were so kind and generous with information, suggestions and great stories about Natchez, its history and culture that we felt immediately at home. We had some great conversations with them and overall the people we met in Natchez were friendly, always willing to chat and offer help as we wandered - obvious tourists - around the the city. Our stay in Natchez was a real pleasure and we can definitely recommend a stay at the the Above the Law.

Perfect Downtown Stay in the Heart of Natchez

We had a fantastic stay at this charming apartment above the antique shop! The location couldn’t be better—just steps from everything downtown Natchez has to offer. We parked the car and walked everywhere with ease.The apartment itself is exactly as pictured—full of character, antiques, and thoughtful decor that really immerses you in the charm of the Old South. The kitchen was very well stocked with everything we needed, and the space was clean, comfortable, and incredibly spacious. The beds were cozy and made for restful nights.We especially loved the outdoor areas—a big front porch with rocking chairs to enjoy the view, and a beautiful courtyard in the back with plenty of space to relax. There are a lot of steps up to the second floor, but once you're up there, it’s well worth it.The hosts were warm, helpful, and available if we needed anything. It’s clear they’ve thought of everything to make guests feel at home. This spot is a gem, and we’d absolutely stay here again!

Over the Anitques

Over the Law is the perfect place to sample the Old South and Natchez. It is an antique-filled apartment above an antiques store. The wide porch offers space to relax and view the city. The kitchen was well stocked and inviting, and the furnishings were memorable.

We arrived on Sunday June 1, 2025 at 4:30 to a very dirty house. The cleaners came at 4:35 and they were there for about one hour. The house was still dirty. Used eyelashes were stuck to the shower wall. A dead bird by the back door. Broken stool. the floors were incredibly dirty as were the bathrooms. Very old pots and pans. Flat sheet instead of a fitted one that wouldn’t stay on the bed. One pillow didn’t even have a pillow case. We were very disappointed with this property’s condition. Please see the pictures I have included. We believe we are entitled to at least a half refund for this rental. We ended up going to a hotel for the last two nights of our trip. We have been using VRBO for 15 years and have never been this disappointed. Thank you for your consideration.

Christmas Season in Natchez

Property is very convenient and walkable to all of downtown Natchez. The interior of the apartment was exactly as pictured. Artwork and antiques everywhere. Kitchen was well stocked with cookware and appliances. The only issue we encountered with the property was the lack of ice or a functioning icemaker in the refridgerator. Overall, if we were to revisit Natchez we would choose to stay at “Above the Law” again.

Friends Trip to Natchez

The apartment was a beautiful place to spend our visit to Natchez. We had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. We especially loved being able to wind down the day in the rocking chairs on the balcony. The hosts were very friendly and attentive to our needs. It was a wonderful visit. Thank you.
