This adorable cottage was perfect for our stay during the Pilgrimage tour. The beds were very comfortable (one is a Murphy bed) and we enjoyed the back porch.
Our weekend stay at Isabella House was perfect! It was step back in time with modern amenities. The house is located within easy walking distance of downtown. Our host, Jackie was so hospitable and fantastic with communication. We would definitely recommend staying here.
Property was in the heart of the city in walking distance to most everything. Property was well maintained and had everything we needed on our stay. Also the biggest thing to me was the communication. The owner was very quick to respond to all messages and made us feel at home.Would recommend to anyone who visits this area.
We particularly enjoyed the big fenced in back yard and relaxing porch because we were traveling with our dog. He was endlessly occupied watching all the birds, squirrels and neighbor cat. That gave us lots of time to enjoy the beginnings of Spring. It is an easy walk to downtown and very close access to the River. The little market next door had lovely provisions. We are grateful for all that Jackie and Luc provided.
We spent four nights here and enjoyed every minute. The house was immaculately clean, had everything we needed and was filled with thoughtful touches. The back porch was a great place to enjoy morning coffee or an evening beverage.
This home is exactly as in the listing. It is very convenient to all of the historical attractions. It is on a busy street, but the back porch is nice and peaceful.

Great place, great backyard
Very charming place, very clean and great location!
We enjoyed a lovely long weekend in Natchez. The Isabella Cottage was the perfect location. We enjoyed walking around town and had everything we needed. Some other guests mentioned in past reviews that the road noise bothered them, but we had no trouble sleeping!

Great location at edge of historic downtown Natchez. The owners had lots of great touches in decorations & amenities. The back porch & yard are wonderful to rest and relax. Would stay again!
Great deal for a first time trip to Natchez, my wife and I stayed to get away for a couple days to celebrate 14 years together! We will definitely be back!
My husband,mother, and our two dogs stayed for the 4th of July fireworks. This little cottage was perfect. It was a great location to walk to most places and it had everything we needed. A fenced back yard for the “kids” with a bbq pit was great. The cottage has so much charm. We loved it.
Great cottage. Clean, wonderful location, responsive host. We enjoyed our time in Natchez very much, home is close to downtown and restaurants. Would definitely recommend!
