About this listing
Two story home on property originally occupied by the present owners’ great-great-great-great-great grandfather in the 1780s. When his great granddaughter Charlotte Hunt married George Marshall, they were given 600 acres on which they built a home in 1853 and called it Lansdowne. The Marshalls planned a wooded country estate similar to those surrounding the great homes of England but after the loss of their Louisiana cotton plantations following the Civil War, Lansdowne was operated as a working plantation with cotton and corn, sheep and cattle until the 1960s. The present owners are the fifth generation of Marshalls to live at Lansdowne. Their children and grandchildren, the sixth and seventh generations, visit for long weekends and holidays as often as possible. The property is now 120 acres of fields, pastures, ponds, and woodlands heavily wooded with pine trees, oaks and magnolias and home to hummingbirds and cuckoos, wood ducks, herons and egrets, red tailed hawks, Mississippi kites, pileated woodpeckers, great horned owls, rabbits, foxes, deer and wild turkeys. Whether sipping a mint julep on the gallery, fishing or enjoying a quiet reflection by the pond, or walking through the fields in search of berries, you will find beauty and tranquility at Lansdowne, just 10 minutes from downtown Natchez.

The space
Two story home with two spacious bedrooms, living and dining rooms, kitchen and laundry in a renovated 1850s brick dependency which in the nineteenth century was home to the cook, children’s nurse and the butler, plus the outdoor kitchen and washing and ironing room. Furnished with four poster double bed, charming iron Queen bed and a single Murphy bed. Another single bed or air mattress or folding bed available on request. Two bedrooms on the second floor have one connecting door, and separate entrances to spacious shared bathroom with marble tiled walk-in shower. Each bedroom also has a private entrance from the upper gallery. WiFi, TV with Roku for Netflix, Amazon and more. Two covered galleries, large patio and beautiful grounds with roses, lilies, azaleas, magnolias and more. Children welcome. No smoking or pets. Your stay includes a tour of the main house, built in 1853 and decorated with original furnishings and family mementos.

    I stayed with my 3 grandkids - they loved the cats and dogs - The house and grounds were spacious enough for them to roam. Amazingly peaceful enjoying my coffee each morning!

    Wonderful relaxing location. My children enjoyed sitting on the porch and visiting with all the property pets. Very quiet and a quick drive into Downtown Natchez. Perfect for families, we cooked all our meals there. Loved the variety of adult and children's books as well.

    We chose to stay in one of the dwellings located behind Lansdowne Antebellum Home. What a treat! We were taken back into time! My nine year old granddaughter would tell you it was wonderful because the owner had very friendly dogs and cats. She and the dog had the best time together! We had a great weekend!

    This was a unique and amazing stay. Our girls LOVED playing with the dogs and cats and Marsha was an excellent host. The kitchen could use a deep, thorough cleaning as wells as more dishes and flatware. We loved our stay here and would definitely stay again!

    When planning our trip to Natchez, we chose to stay here primarily because of the property's historical significance. We were not disappointed. The experience was better than we could have imagined. The house is old, that's why we chose it, and because of that there are several quirky things. The steep, narrow stairs were hard on my worn-out knees, but each time I slowly went up the stairs, I thought about the people who worked and lived here in the past. I was fascinated by the large built-in cauldron beside the fireplace in the dining room. Once again, I wondered about the people who worked there and how they used the cauldron. Marsha was great, finding time to give us a tour of the main house even though she had to go out of state unexpectedly. Learning about the house and its history from an ancestor was amazing. We came to Natchez to tour homes and learn history, and here we were, learning the history of the property where we were staying. As I wrote my weekly newspaper column sitting at the dining room table, I used source material from the extensive library in the living room. I felt sad because there were so many books and so little time. The courtyard is beautiful, and we loved the cats, especially Oreo. The grounds are a beautiful place to take a morning walk, with many photo opportunities. Listening to the birds sing and hearing the woodpeckers drumming on the trees in such a beautiful setting was magical. I highly recommend staying here if you are looking for an old home steeped in history.

    We had a great visit to Lansdowne. Marsha was cordial and kind. We felt like she was truly interested to know about us and ensure we enjoyed staying at her family home. She was engaging with our daughter who was obsessed with the cats that live there. The vrbo space was full of family history and great furnishings. We will definitely stay there again. Thanks, Marsha! Give our best to Cali, Oreo and Kit-Cat!
