Nice Place

We enjoyed our stay at the property. It was in walking distance of some great shops. Communication with the property owner was easy and so was checking in. Mini toiletry items were furnished along with a bottle of wine in the fridge and bottled water. That was unexpected but appreciated.

Everything you will need and more

Beautiful property. In downtown walking distance to so many restaurants and shops. Has all the amenities you will need and more, including snacks and wine. They were nice enough to allow us to check in early since we arrived before check in time. Great communication and tons of information about the surrounding area included. Will definitely book again if we return to Natchez.

Wonderful Stay at the Gaol

My husband and I had a very enjoyable stay at the Gaol in Natchez. The unit was beautifully decorated with antiques and very comfortable furniture. We enjoyed morning coffee in the courtyard. The location was central to the sites we visited. Very clean with a gracious host. We plan on returning to the Gaol.

This is a great location that is within walking distance to downtown dining and shopping. The property was just like it was advertised and was super clean with all the supplies we needed.
