Fabulous exercise path along the bluff of the Mississippi River.. Step out of our cottage and walk to the bluff to watch the most beautiful sunset in the world and then stroll down the street for a glass of wine and delicious tapas at 100 Main and then stroll on down the street to Smoots for live Music on the weekends! Park your car at our cottage and just walk or call Rock N Roll Taxi ! We are in the best spot in Natchez! .

Had a great stay at Darby's Guest House. Easily walking distance to great restaurants, river bluff, some of the Antebellum homes, and the carriage ride. Darby was easy to work with and we had a great time. Nice to have a king bed in one room and 2 queens in the other, along with their own bathrooms. We enjoyed the back porch a lot!

Mother and daughters girl trip

Enjoyed our stay at Darby’s. Location is close to everything. We toured the beautiful homes, drove along the Natchez trace parkway, visited Memorial Park, photography exhibit in the First Presbyterian church, a ghost tour and the Natchez City Cemetery. We walked downtown to shop in the cute stores and walked in Bluff Park every night to watch the sunset over the River. Enjoyed live music on Friday. Plenty of wonderful restaurants for dining. We will return and hope to stay here again.

Best place to stay in Natchez!

Group of 4 friends came to Natchez for 5 days! The location of Darby’s Guest House is the best location in Natchez! Walking distance to Main Street and all the great shops and walking distance to some great local eating place in town! We felt right at home in this beautiful, comfy house! Not to mention the beautiful decor through out this house! After the first night, we all commented about how comfortable the beds were! Darby was so available and even brought us some homemade fudge from Darby’s.

Wonderful House, Great Location, Perfect Host

This wonderfully decorated and updated home is a 2 minute walk to the park which runs along the Mississippi River. The sunset from the overlooking bluffs was something to behold! A short walk down the hill were restaurants, serving delicious food, overlooking the water. A walk in the opposite direction took you through the charming downtown shops and original historic homes of Natchez. Two bedrooms (and two bathrooms), a fully furnished kitchen (with an adjacent dining table) and a comfy living area are all perfectly decorated. But my favorite place was the back porch looking out on the fenced in back yard. It was the perfect place to relax after a busy day touring Pre-Civil War homes - and was especially appreciated since our first day there was rainy. Darby reached out to us personally before we arrived, check in was flawless, and she left us all sort of goodies we did not expect. She checked in to make sure everything was going well the following day and even reached out to recommend a lunch place on our route as we traveled out of town. She felt like a friend looking out for us! Parking for the house is adjacent in a paved public parking lot - which I was concerned about at first - but it was absolutely no problem - just steps from the front door. The street is a main road, but the traffic died down at night, and it is the price you pay to be in the heart of Natchez. It felt like a very safe area and we were comfortable walking the neighborhood, even at night. I highly recommend this rental! You will love it and feel like you have a friend in Natchez taking good care of you!

Lovely stay in convenient area

We were in town for a wedding in Natchez. Location is very nice. The home is older and so is in some need of some maintenance. But beyond that was a nice place to stay.
