Exceptional Stay at Above the Law in the Historic Law Building – A Natchez Gem!I recently had the absolute pleasure of staying at Above the Law, a luxurious apartment rental nestled in the iconic Law Building in downtown Natchez, Mississippi. Booked through VRBO, this place exceeded all my expectations and made for an unforgettable getaway. If you’re looking for a blend of historic charm, modern comfort, and Southern hospitality, this is the spot. My partner and I spent a full week here, exploring the area’s rich history and antebellum mansions, and we couldn’t have chosen a better home base. The charm of this place is off the charts. The Law Building itself is a piece of Natchez history, originally a former law office that has been beautifully repurposed into upscale accommodations. Above the Law is the upstairs apartment, and stepping inside feels like entering a time capsule with a contemporary twist. The high ceilings, exposed brick walls, and original architectural details give it that authentic old-world allure, while the tasteful renovations ensure it’s bright, airy, and inviting. It’s not just a rental; it’s a storybook setting that captures the essence of Natchez’s storied past. We felt transported to a bygone era, yet with all the conveniences of today. The overall vibe is one of elegant nostalgia – perfect for his

Wonderful Stay!

We stayed in "The Law". We were very pleased with the spacious rooms and all of the personal touches. Richard is a wonderful host who was very personable and communicated clearly. We visited Natchez with our long time friends and we all found the home to be quite comfortable. The kitchen was well appointed with dishes, cookware, etc. The special touch throughout the house is the history and stories behind the various artwork or collections. It was in a great location downtown which allowed us to walk to many of the sites in which we were interested. We'll definitely stay here again on any future visits.

Warmth and Gentility in Natchez

My husband and I enjoyed the warmth and gentility of The Law Building during our recent five day visit to Natchez. We loved being surrounded by the books, art, fine furniture and beautiful collections. The private courtyard is a whimsical jewel.The kitchen is fabulous. The Law Building is conveniently located within walking distance of excellent restaurants and historic sites. Mr. Richard and Mrs. Barbara quickly responded to our messages. Check-in and check-out were simple. Parking couldn't have been easier. This property is especially well-suited for folks with joint problems--no steps and grab bars in the bathroom. We highly recommend it!

Beautiful Historic Stay

We sincerely enjoyed our stay at the Law Building. It was fun exploring all of the antiques throughout the house. Our only complaint was the music/partying coming from the bar across the street and cars/people in the street. Our walls were rattling until close to 3am on Saturday night, made it very hard to sleep. The location was great, and everyone was very friendly.

About the host

Hosted by Richard Branyan

Host profile image
This apartment was my Mother’s home for 18 years.
It still contains most of my mother’s collections and family items.

It still feels like a family retreat and it is still used by my family when they visit.

Much decluttering was done - but my mother was a collector for all of her 89 years !


Why they chose this property

I opened an Antique Store on Franklin Street in 1987 - in 1989 it was in this space.
In 1992, we moved the store next door and my Father moved his Law office into The Law!
It was a Law office till 2002 when it was converted into my mother’s home.

It opened as a BnB in 2021


What makes this property unique

Several great personal collections.
Spacious layout and a beautiful large secluded courtyard.
Safe off street parking and an onsite owner.
We also have an onsite manager during business hours.
Lots of TV’s and fast internet!
