What a welcome sight after a long drive! Steele’s Cottage is situated on the heights above Vicksburg’s riverfront and the Mississippi River, in a quiet leafy setting. The cottage is an attractive classic, as was our comfortable room - Mrs. Steele’s Bedroom. We’ll long remember our good night’s sleep, tasty dinner at Rusty’s Riverside Grill, and pleasant breakfast in the elegant Duff Green Mansion. A highly recommended experience!

Steele Cottage was a charming, well kept, and very clean place to stay. We rented MaeMae's room and liked how it was apart from the other rooms. We also enjoyed having breakfast at the Duff Green Mansion along with touring this home. This was included in the price. We would highly recommend staying here.

Love the Duff Green Mansion!
Our stay was actually in the mansion, and not the cottage. We loved it so very much. The staff is fantastic. So very friendly, helpful, and accommodating. The breakfast was amazing. We only have wonderful memories from our stay there, and would not hesitate to go back.

We’ll kept up and very historically homey. You do have a very large bathroom outside the bedroom for the Swords room. The other two rooms have en-suite bathrooms.

If you’re wondering what it’s like to stay in a house almost 200 years old, this is the perfect solution. The property is decorated in period furniture and really gives you a sense of another period in history. Location is ideal for visiting Vicksburg sites as well. The breakfasts at Duff Green were awesome also.

The breakfast, staff, and tour of the Duff Green Mansion were the highlights. Short walk (5-7 minutes) from Steele Cottage to Duff Green for the breakfast and tour. The staff at Duff Green Mansion are what really made this a trip to remember. Tonya gave us a tour of the mansion after a great breakfast and good company with other guest at the table, and she was excellent and could have spent most of the day just talking with her and the rest of the touring group. And it was nice to meet her son, who showed us his favorite picture in the home during the tour. Walnut Hills is directly across the street and was nice for dinner (recommend the fried chicken). Only real complaint was the cleaning crew did not leave enough towels.

I am so very sorry. In three guest homes we have only one room that has a bath that is not en-suite. We try to make you aware of this before check in. I am so sorry you did not know.

Loved It!
We had a delightful stay! We were headed to Jackson but I couldnt find a place there worth booking. So, at the last minute, I found the Steele Cottage. As we had booked late, we had to call to get check-in details. Very easy. Our room, the JM Swords, was nice with a queen sized bed that was high off the floor. Glad they had a step to help get me up there. Our bathroom was across the hall. I was not used to using a clawfoot tub with a sprayer, but it worked out well. If this type of bathing is not for you, I suggest pucking one of the rooms with a shower. The meeting room was great, stocked with beverages and a good amount of seating. The best part was the breakfast at the Duff Green mansion. It was a three-course breakfast served around a big table with the other guests. We had an entertaining breakfast getting to know the guests, followed by a house tour. The ladies that work at these two places are outstanding! They go above and beyond to make your stay pleasant. I highly recommend this place. But, if you are willing to spend a little more, check out the Duff Mansion.

When I stayed here, because of COVID it was self check-in; no staff on site. The only problem was that once I went inside, I did not know which room I had booked - so as a suggestion, it might be a good idea for the owners to somehow indicate who booked which room. They offer a breakfast at their sister location, about a 10-min walk away which was elegant and delicious! A staff member there gave us a tour of the building and talked about its history which was interesting.

I am sorry you weren’t happy with JM Swords. We try to be very up front that it is our smallest room and that the bath room is across the hall. There is a living room for lounging. We are not going to update out of the character of the house. It was standing in 1833. Thank you for staying with us.

Historic cottage
We enjoyed the historic setting and area. Had not realized the room we chose included the bathroom across the hall, not in our room. The breakfast was in a nearby beautiful mansion but felt it was not an adequate breakfast for a B & B. The staff did not seem to fit the setting and were disruptive during the tour of the mansion, which was interesting history.
