This was the perfect location for walking to shops, chilling in the courtyard, or just relaxing in the gorgeous antique filled apartment. The apartment was spotless and the owner provided so many thoughtful touches. They thought of everything! We will definitely be back.
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.
Property was very nice, owners were delightful. Really enjoyed the stay.

Very spacious and clean apartment, with easy parking, to enjoy a girls weekend with the Angels on the Bluff historical event. A perfect location to discover the shops and restaurants 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 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.
Best friend getaway with my teenage son as a tagalong. Had a wonderful time! Apartment exactly as described. beautiful antiques, comfortable beds and very clean. Stayed her last year and had to come back. Highly recommend!
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.
We had a wonderful time staying in this historic downtown location. The location made everything walkable. The host was readily available and checkout was a breeze. Will be back!
It was clean and in a good location. The owners provided everything anyone would need while staying there. All we had to do was get some groceries. Would highly recommend.
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.
This is a cool, old apartment above a business. It is decorated in many period pieces. It was very clean and well appointed in the kitchen and the owner is very friendly and helpful. There was written information about the town and nearby areas in the house and the owner was available by telephone for anything we needed. The outside areas were also great--a large deck out front and a courtyard in the back with tables and chairs. Overall, an outstanding stay.
We had a great time staying in your apartment. The location was awesome, the beds were comfortable and the balcony was superb! We will definitely stay here again, and maybe bring more guests!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The courtyard is beautiful and a wonderful place to relax at the end of the day. Antebellum homes and amazing restaurants were close by. The host could not have been more accommodating and helpful. We would definitely stay here again.
I can't say enough about this wonderful location and the hospitality of Richard and Jill. The apartment was beautiful with everything you could possibly need at your fingertips. The beds were very comfortable...made for a good night's sleep. There was great outdoor space, too, including a big balcony with lots of rocking chairs and a beautiful courtyard with several tables. There was also good parking space in a parking lot next door. The location was perfect, too, with easy walking distance to anywhere downtown. The big test for us always is 'would we stay there again' and the answer in this case is a resounding YES!
We had a great time. We would definitely stay again.

About the host
Hosted by Richard Branyan
4 years as a host This used to be my home - but I moved 3 years ago / still looks like my home - many collections and art remain - Retains a home away from home feel.
Why they chose this property
Moved to Downtown Natchez over 30 years ago Opened a store in Natchez in 1987 Lived in this apartment from 1992.
What makes this property unique
It was a home for many years - it still feels personal. It has art, several collections, and even artwork by the owner. When I moved I only took a few items and left it as my home. (Just did another one!) It is still used by my family at certain times during the year.
