About this property

Downtown, Free wine, Courtyard, Porches, 1885, Keyless, Private

Isabella House is a circa 1885 cottage with vintage character and charm located on Canal Street in downtown Natchez, Mississippi. Within short walking distance are such attractions as: The Natchez Visitor Center, Bluff Park and walking trail, The Convention Center, historic Under-The-Hill Saloon as well as beautiful antebellum homes and the mighty Mississippi River himself. The cottage has been lovingly renovated from a state of total disrepair and is available for nightly and weekly stays comfortably accommodating 2-4 guests. The second bed is a custom-made wall bed located in the living room area. It has a wonderful full-height queen mattress with an additional 4" memory foam topper. Let us know it will be needed, and we will have this bed down, made and ready for guests. Each sleeping area opens onto the front porch, and each also open into the kitchen affording privacy for both. Although furnished with many unique and antique pieces, it still offers modern conveniences such as TV, internet, dishwasher and washer/dryer as well as complimentary beverages. The rear courtyard is spacious and private and has a grill and chiminea for guest use. At Isabella House, you'll be within walking distance of wonderful downtown shops, restaurants and entertainment, but you might not want to leave the back porch!

Great little house in the heart of the river front area. We loved the charm and cute and private back yard with full length porch. Highly recommend for someone looking for convenience and privacy even though it was on a main street.

We were very satisfied with our stay here. It gave us the feel of being transported back in time but with modern conveniences. The mattresses were comfortable and we slept well. We enjoyed sitting on the back porch overlooking a private fenced yard while we sipped on the delicious muscadine wine provided by the host. We would stay there again.

The house was everything we expected and more. I really enjoyed spending time on the back porch. Jackie was a wonderful host and the communication with her was great. We felt the house is ideally located for restaurants, mansions and the various attractions in Natchez. We hope to return to Natchez and this is where we will stay, when we return.

My major complaint is not one that the host can do anything at all about. The house is VERY close to a busy road. The road noise is deafening and continues until the wee hours. There wasn’t much sleep to be had.
Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2026
Response from VrboOwner on 24 Apr 2026
We certainly can’t change our location, which most guests choose so they can be in the heart of downtown. However, for our very sensitive guests, we do provide sound machines, and in a worst case scenario, ear plugs, both of which are placed right next to the beds. Most people don’t use them, but they are available. I don’t know if you chose these options or not.
