Natchez, Mississippi
Brick dependency built circa 1853 on the grounds of Lansdowne, a former country estate which became a cotton plantation in the 1870s until 1960, three miles from downtown Natchez. The main house retains its original furnishings as well as furnishings from other antebellum Natchez homes such as Longwood, the Towers and the Shields Town House.
The guest rooms were originally a billiard room and office and a governess’s room and school room. The Billiard room is now a spacious bedroom with comfortable seating area, furnished with a queen sized four poster bed, a large single day bed and an armoire with mirror, plus remote-controlled heating, cooling and celling fans, and Wi-Fi plus TV with Netflix, Amazon, Starz and more. Adjoining the bedroom is a full kitchen and dining area fully stocked with pots, pans, glasses, tableware and serving dishes. The updated bath has a large tiled walk in shower and plenty of closet space. Your view from the covered brick gallery encompasses a beautiful green lawn with stately oaks, pines and magnolias, and azaleas, camellias and roses.
Guest access
Guests have access to the much of the 120-acre property. You can stroll through gardens in the 10-acre yard, relax in a hammock, fish in the pond, or walk through the woods and fields where you’ll see herons, owls, wood ducks, pileated woodpeckers and occasionally foxes and wild turkey.
Interaction with guests
One of the current owners, a descendant of the original builders of Lansdowne, lives in the main house and will welcome you into the great hall for a tour of the house.
Most beautiful house we ever rented, tranquil scenery, historical and original setting, and fabulous host. Host was wonderful was so accommodating and great with our kids, plus the cats kept us all company. Must stay any time in town
The property was beautiful and well maintained
Really lovely and quiet property and a very gracious hostess.
We very much enjoyed our 30 day stay at The Billiard Room Suite at Landsdowne Plantation. It is a very relaxing place. Marsha was a wonderful hostess! She is very prompt at communication.
Staying here is such a unique and wonderful experience. The host is welcoming and very nice. There are so many interesting parts of the property and so much history!
We enjoyed our stay and would consider coming back to this property next time we visit our family in Natchez
This was the perfect stay for our little family. The property gave us fun things to do all day — we explored as much as we could. It was so peaceful & the landscape was beautiful. All of the animals were so sweet (horses & cats). And we loved the tour of the home. We will certainly miss this hide away. It was a great time.
Always a good stay! Property is absolutely gorgeous. Gotta love Oreo, the resident cat!
This was a very relaxing weekend.
This was truly a great weekend for us. The weather was perfect and the accommodations were perfect. It was a great way to celebrate my husband’s birthday. Enjoyed our conversations with Marsha and learning the history of the area.
