This was a unique and amazing stay. Our girls LOVED playing with the dogs and cats and Marsha was an excellent host. The kitchen could use a deep, thorough cleaning as wells as more dishes and flatware. We loved our stay here and would definitely stay again!

Had a wonderful time in Natchez

When planning our trip to Natchez, we chose to stay here primarily because of the property's historical significance. We were not disappointed. The experience was better than we could have imagined. The house is old, that's why we chose it, and because of that there are several quirky things. The steep, narrow stairs were hard on my worn-out knees, but each time I slowly went up the stairs, I thought about the people who worked and lived here in the past. I was fascinated by the large built-in cauldron beside the fireplace in the dining room. Once again, I wondered about the people who worked there and how they used the cauldron. Marsha was great, finding time to give us a tour of the main house even though she had to go out of state unexpectedly. Learning about the house and its history from an ancestor was amazing. We came to Natchez to tour homes and learn history, and here we were, learning the history of the property where we were staying. As I wrote my weekly newspaper column sitting at the dining room table, I used source material from the extensive library in the living room. I felt sad because there were so many books and so little time. The courtyard is beautiful, and we loved the cats, especially Oreo. The grounds are a beautiful place to take a morning walk, with many photo opportunities. Listening to the birds sing and hearing the woodpeckers drumming on the trees in such a beautiful setting was magical. I highly recommend staying here if you are looking for an old home steeped in history.

Peaceful and quiet

So interesting to talk with Marsha, and hear about her family. The property is lovely. We enjoyed our visit.

We had a great visit to Lansdowne. Marsha was cordial and kind. We felt like she was truly interested to know about us and ensure we enjoyed staying at her family home. She was engaging with our daughter who was obsessed with the cats that live there. The vrbo space was full of family history and great furnishings. We will definitely stay there again. Thanks, Marsha! Give our best to Cali, Oreo and Kit-Cat!

I stayed at the Landsdowne with my husband, his mother and my two sons (ages 8 & 10). I was amazed at the amount of space we had in the house and how clean it was. My mother in law was able to stay in the first floor bedroom which has its own bathroom. My husband, children and I stayed in the 2 bedrooms upstairs which has a beautifully renovated bathroom. The upstairs bedrooms have access to the balcony which was lovely in the mornings, we would also get visited by Oreo the very friendly cat. The boys loved all the space to run and explore on the property and pet Rover the very friendly dog. Marsha our hostess was so friendly, we thoroughly enjoyed visiting her family’s home and learning it’s history. We feel very blessed to have had the opportunity to stay at the Landsdowne and will cherish memories of our time spent there.

Marsha is a super hostess. Very accommodating to our needs and true southern hospitality at its best. Lovely quiet serene country estate. Fascinating history. Highly recommend. A real plus as Marsha is in the know about Natchez.
