This was one of the nicest vacation rentals I have ever stayed in! The house has beautiful appointments, comfortable beds, and excellent showers. The owner was responsive and helpful. The location is great for exploring Downtown Vicksburg.

John was very welcoming and helpful- a more gracious host you will not find. The house is really beautiful once you step into the front foyer. The house is unassuming outside but breathtaking inside. All details have been thought out. It is extremely close to all that downtown Vicksburg has to offer and is surrounded by historic buildings. An enormous oak tree stands between the house and sunrise--amazing. We were here for business but I assure you we will be back to enjoy this quaint home and town.

We're fans of Vicksburg history and Greek Revival architecture.

Why they chose this property

We live nearby on this quiet, historic street, close to neighborhood restaurants, events, and downtown

What makes this property unique

This house and others on this dead-end street were once all owned by Dr. T.J. Harper and his descendants. Built in 1848, this house features historic details like the Greek Revival door frontispiece, jib doors below windows, tall ceilings, and spacious rooms. Modern updates include stylish bathrooms, and an open floor plan for entertaining. The tree shaded back yard offers glimpses of nearby historic rooflines and the screened porch provides a view to the city.
