The outside was humble but the interior was super nice. The rooms were tastefully decorated and the towels and linens were quality.Location was walking distance to numerous historical sites.Our host invited us to a private tour of a historical house he and his partner are renovating. They spent two hours showing us their project, it was the highlight of the week.

Really happy to find a clean, large space to stay that is dog friendly! The owner provided dog blankets and a food & water bowl. The backyard was large and reasonably fenced off - our dog is not an escape artist so it worked for us! So much space in the master bedroom, bathroom and kitchen! The master bath had a closet area that was cleared out & would be great space for a pack n play or travel crib. Very close to the restaurant we ate at downtown if it wasn’t raining we would’ve walked!
Lovely front room!
Amazing and large kitchen!

House was beautiful! Well appointed and very clean and comfortable. Great communication from the host, including wonderful restaurant recommendations. My only suggestion is for guests with dogs. They might reach out to chat with host about the fence. It was fine for our dogs, but might not be secure enough for escape artists.

John was very welcoming and helpful- a more gracious host you will not find. The house is really beautiful once you step into the front foyer. The house is unassuming outside but breathtaking inside. All details have been thought out. It is extremely close to all that downtown Vicksburg has to offer and is surrounded by historic buildings. An enormous oak tree stands between the house and sunrise--amazing. We were here for business but I assure you we will be back to enjoy this quaint home and town.

We're fans of Vicksburg history and Greek Revival architecture.

Why they chose this property

We live nearby on this quiet, historic street, close to neighborhood restaurants, events, and downtown

What makes this property unique

This house and others on this dead-end street were once all owned by Dr. T.J. Harper and his descendants. Built in 1848, this house features historic details like the Greek Revival door frontispiece, jib doors below windows, tall ceilings, and spacious rooms. Modern updates include stylish bathrooms, and an open floor plan for entertaining. The tree shaded back yard offers glimpses of nearby historic rooflines and the screened porch provides a view to the city.
