1888 Wensel House B&B

I found the B&B to be very clean. The staff was cordial and efficient. The location is great for my business trips to Natchez. The breakfast was great.

I would not stay anywhere else in Natchez. I love the little cottage and your breakfast is wonderful! Thanks again for making my stay comfortable and relaxing.

NIce room, very comfortable bed, knowledgeable owners, willing to give direction when asked. Very Hospitable. Great Breakfast

Very beautiful logging. Only, I regret the absence of real contact with the owners.

We rented the Cottage for 3 people and enjoyed it so much ! The owner, Mimi, is extremely welcoming and everything was great : spacious rooms, complimentary drinks (including wine !), delicious breakfast in the dining room, lots of advice And in a very charming street, with lots of old houses leading to the cliffs above the Mississippi. And for 3 people, it was surprisingly cheap ! The best surprise of our whole travel in Louisiana.

We came for the high school football game.... Brandon vs Natchez. Cold, wintry nite, but upon returning to our cozy room at Wensel House, we warmed right up. Mimi was a perfect hostess, both when we arrived and while we all (the house was full) enjoyed her wonderful breakfast. We'll definitely be back the next time we come to Natchez!

This B&B enhanced our stay in Natchez - beautiful home and the bed in our room was outstanding. Map provided by Ron on check-in guided us anywhere we wanted to go. Maddie is a dear and her breakfasts are delicious - biscuits are light as a feather. Mimi presided over breakfast and was a wealth of information. Highly recommend a stay here.

The house is charming, the breakfast was the highlight of the day, and the company of Miss Mimi and Maddie was the icing on the cake!!! Can't wait to return!

Loacation was good as you could walk down to the river, and other local attractions, but the B&B is located near the corner of a main road through town, so you could hear cars constantly driving past. Breakfast was very good, lots of choices.

Ron and mimi were the perfect hosts,nothing to much trouble and so helpful with enquiries.Our stay was only one night,I wish it could have been much longer.If all bed and breakfast hosts were as good it would be a wonderful way to travel.Thank you so much from Alan,Valerie,Mark and Amanda Sanderson

Usually with a group of 10 ladies not everyone will agree on a topic but all ten of us were in agreement about how wonderful our stay was at 1888 Wensel House. Every aspect our our stay was top-notch. Mimi's breakfast was awesome! She and her husband were very knowledgeable about Natchez and gave us great suggestions about the best places to eat dinner. The B & B was located withing walking distance to many places of interest. I would diffinately stay here again.

Old Natchez architecture is perfect for B&Bs but the 1888 Wensel House caught our eye mainly because of the owners backgrounds in historic preservation. The house is beautiful and conveniently located to old Natchez. Parking in the rear, we walked to the bluff over the river after checking in. Mimi had a typed list of sites of interest which was very helpful. Our room had a four poster canopied bed and a very modern bathroom, the best of yesterday and today. We met fellow guests at breakfast, all congenial and conversational. Would definitely recommend and stay there again!

Charming villa situated in natchez, beautiful room copious breakfast

Great value, wonderful breakfasts, comfortable, roomy accommodations, convenient location to all the historic sites in Natchez. Mimi & Ron Miller are thoughtful & knowledgeable hosts. We've already booked reservations there for next year!

We really enjoyed out stay and would recommend this Bed & Breakfast. The inn keepers were friendly and very helpful.

We had a warm welcome and have been informed well regarding Natchez history as well as possibilities of sightseeing and dining. The breakfast was the best we had on our trip so far. Doubt we will find any better further on.

Clean, large rooms with huge bathroom. The house is a lovingly restored 19th century Victorian with high ceilings, period furniture and lovely wood floors. The sitting room is a pleasant place to sit and read and sip coffee--or if you'd rather be outside, try the large wrap around porch. Located in the middle of the historic area, easy walk to many mansions and historic sites, the river, the bluff and Under the Hill area and the stop for carriage rides is two blocks away. Ron and Mimi, the owners, are gracious and a wealth of knowledge on city history and urged us to make ourselves at home. The breakfasts were huge and delicious--bacon,sausage, eggs, fruit, pancakes, grits and biscuits. Yum!

Enjoyed our stay.very pleasant. The breakfast was very good. The rooms were nice. Bed was a bit squeaky but comfortable. The free wine and soft drinks were a very nice surprise. Location was great.

This is a wonderful, outstanding place to stay. Beautiful, excellant location. Mimi is great!!!!! I am already making plans to go back. Kathy C

The Wensel House B &B was a very pleasant stay with outstanding breakfasts to include wonderful conversation. Mrs Miller was an excellent hostess. Beds were comfortable and location was more than pleasant. Thank you so much!!!

If you love old houses and big southern breakfasts, this is the place to stay. We stayed several nights and were sad to leave. The house is very centrally located, within walking distance of many of the tour houses. Mimi and Ron are wonderful, welcoming hosts. Mimi has lots of knowledge of the history of the town. Plan to come and spend some time.

Be sure to chat with Ron and Mimi--they're a veritable Natchez institution, and you'll never know whom you'll find around their breakfast table.

Gracious, friendly hosts. Preservation and restoration enthusiasts, very knowledgeable about Natchez history. We stayed in the "cabin" for three nights, which was like having our own private home. The breakfasts were very good. They did not change from day to day, but there were enough items that you could have a different breakfast each day. Prices are far less than staying in some of the large mansions.

Near of Rosalie and of the historical center, a very nice house with great welcome and yummy breakfast.

Girls getaway for the fall pilgrimage in October and stayed here. Can't say enough about the property and the proprietor! Fabulous weekend, perfect location (we parked and walked everywhere). Our room was very nice and breakfast each morning was out of this world delicious.

Nous avons beaucoup apprécié cet endroit, notre chambre était très agréable, et la maison est bien située à deux pas du Mississipi et du quartier historique.

We found just the place to stay for touring the historic parts of Natchez. The location is perfect and the owners are experts on the history of the city and much more. Great country breakfast!

Direction were good had to get use of one way streets near the Mississippi river walk and tour of attractions.

Wir waren im Wenselhaus fuer 2 Naechte. Zimmer sind wunderbar, gross und sauber.Fruehstueck ist sehr gut, keine Pappteller und die Besitzer sind sehr hilfsbereit. Es ist besser wie jedes Hotel und viel familiaerer. Wir konnten kostenlos Getraenke bekommen, was auch nicht ueberall ueblich ist. Wir bedanken uns fuer einen wunderbaren Aufenthalt.

We recently visited Natchez for the first time and found 1888 Wensel House on the web. The house is impressive, but even more so when you see the pictures of what it was. Mimi is a terrific, knowledgeable hostess who gave us the straight talk on what to do with our limited time in Natchez. Breakfast was impressive and I'm embarrassed to say I ate everything! One of the guests stays regularly on business and another couple has stayed numerous times. This is always a good sign. I might add that one of the reasons Wensel House appealed to me is that it wasn't totally over the top decorated. The decorating is simpler than most of the other places which may account for the great value - but all in all I find this preferable to the gaudy Victorian decorating.

We had a great stay! The innkeepers are very knowledgeable regarding the area, including restaurants and historical landmarks and the restoration of these beautiful homes....interesting and informative breakfast table conversations.

Enjoyed wonderful hospitality during our stay. The breakfast was delicious! Mimi was very gracious and friendly.

The room was delightful and clean--the house was lovely. The breakfast was absolutely amazing--grits eggs pancakes, biscuits, wonderful coffee, juice, bacon sausage--the works. Loved it all we felt so pampered. Great value! The proprieter was a wealth of information. Would definitely return! Highly recommended!

A superb place, wonderful and extremely well-decorated. A nice and welcoming landlord ready to help and give advices about where to go and to dine. Try the breakfast: it is divine. All in all the right place to be when one stays in Natchez. Marc-Olivier

Would recommend this B&B to anyone who likes Southern hospitality. Accommodations were more than adequate and breakfast was generous and very good. Stayed 2 nights and felt right at home.

Beautiful home, excellent service and food, very comfortable and relaxed atmosphere, delightful hostess, great value - highly recommended.

The 1888 Wensel House is the ideal location for visitors to Natchez. The inn is within comfortable walking distance of historical sites, great restaurants, carriage and trolley lines, and downtown Natchez. Mimi -- our innkeeper -- is gracious and so knowledgeable. She knows the dining options and shares wonderful stories about main street Natchez -- yet she doesn't dominate the conversation. Other guests were repeat visitors -- a clear indicator of the inn's value. Our room was lovely and the breakfast delightful. I only wish we'd booked a longer visit, but when we return to Natchez we'll stay at the Wensel House.

The previous reviewer got it exactly right!

Rooms were clean, spacious and not fussy, service was outstanding. The breakfast was a great country breakfast with wonderful food, they have a great cook. Innkeepers were very helpful and friendly, and location very convienent.
