Great place had everything we needed! Kitchen had oil and butter in the fridge. Laundry room was stocked as well and handy to wash road trip clothes. Also we appreciated the chips and bottled waters. Bed was comfy and courtyard a lovely spot to relax outside. Great price for all the space available. Would stay again!

Staying at the Natchez goal was a lovely experience! Way better than staying at a hotel. The host thought of everything.The Natchez Goal had all the comforts of home from creamers for your coffee to laundry supplies in the laundry room, The back door opened up into a beautiful courtyard like garden with lovely plants, birds singing and beautiful sunlight. Not to mention this location is close to everything downtown My experience was absolutely wonderful thank you Richard, Jill and Barbara!
