About this property

Downtown, Free wine, Courtyard, Porches, 1885, Keyless, Private

Isabella House is a circa 1885 cottage with vintage character and charm located on Canal Street in downtown Natchez, Mississippi. Within short walking distance are such attractions as: The Natchez Visitor Center, Bluff Park and walking trail, The Convention Center, historic Under-The-Hill Saloon as well as beautiful antebellum homes and the mighty Mississippi River himself. The cottage has been lovingly renovated from a state of total disrepair and is available for nightly and weekly stays comfortably accommodating 2 guests. There is a full kitchen with dishes, utensils and cookware provided. The living room and bedroom each open onto the front porch, and each also open into the kitchen. The bathroom has an antique claw foot tub with shower. Towels, shampoo, conditioner, hand soap and a blow dryer are all available.
Although furnished with many unique and antique pieces, it still offers modern conveniences such as TV, internet, dishwasher and washer/dryer as well as complimentary beverages. The back porch overlooks the old brick courtyard. It is spacious and private and has a grill and chiminea for guest use. At Isabella House, you'll be within walking distance of wonderful downtown shops, restaurants and entertainment, but you might not want to leave the back porch!

We were very satisfied with our stay here. It gave us the feel of being transported back in time but with modern conveniences. The mattresses were comfortable and we slept well. We enjoyed sitting on the back porch overlooking a private fenced yard while we sipped on the delicious muscadine wine provided by the host. We would stay there again.

We felt the house is ideally located for restaurants, mansions and the various attractions in Natchez. We hope to return to Natchez and this is where we will stay, when we return.

I travel to Natchez annually to visit family for the Memorial Day Celebration. This was the first time that I chose to rent a home from VRBO. The home itself was beautiful. I really loved the back porch. The only thing that I could do without is how loud everything is on the street. It didn't matter what I used to try to drown out the screeching vehicles; nothing worked. I had the room closer to the street. My mother-in-law and son had the other room. They said that they didn't hear anything. Overall, the host was wonderful and very accommodating. If I could move it a block away from the street. I would stay again.

My major complaint is not one that the host can do anything at all about. The house is VERY close to a busy road. The road noise is deafening and continues until the wee hours. There wasn’t much sleep to be had.

Response from VrboOwner on 24 April 2026
We certainly can’t change our location, which most guests choose so they can be in the heart of downtown. However, for our very sensitive guests, we do provide sound machines, and in a worst case scenario, ear plugs, both of which are placed right next to the beds. Most people don’t use them, but they are available. I don’t know if you chose these options or not.
