For value and treatment, my wife and I really enjoyed our recent stay in Natchez at this Inn. The mistress of the residence was full of stories abut Natchez history, past and present. Should we visit Natchez again, we would certainly stay here again.

We stayed at the 1888 Wensel House B&B for two nights in April 2013. It's a beautiful house in an attractive neighbourhood, walking distance from downtown shops and several restaurants. We stayed in the back First Room with the canopied bed - a lovely quiet room at a quite reasonable price for charm, character and atmosphere. And a fabulous breakfast! Mimi was a very knowledgeable and personable host - we'd definitely stay again.

5 out of 5One Night in Natchez
April 25, 2013
1888 Wensel House B&B was lovely as was owner/hostess Mimi Miller! We did an overnight on our travels to Atlanta from Houston. We checked into the B&B mid-afternoon allowing us time to swing by the visitor's center and purchase tickets to tour one of many historic homes in Natchez. We enjoyed the tour and dinner at a riverbank restaurant. Returning to 1888 Wensel after dinner, we relaxed with a complimentary glass of wine. Very nice room on the second floor was a delight and quite restful. A delicious breakfast was served in the beautiful dining room by Mimi the following morning. We had a grand visit with Mimi while diving into that luscious breakfast. We plan to return to 1888 Wensel House for a longer stay. We loved Natchez and want to see more! Thank you, Mimi. Trudy and Jeff Lynch

Breakfast was delicious and plentiful! Our room was very clean and could have comfortably accomodated 3 adults with a queen bed and a twin. My mother and I were very comfortable here with a bed for each of us and a private bath. Morning walks around this neighborhood were a very pleasant start to my day with beautiful historic homes every step of the way. Many of the historic plantations were within walking distance as were many great restaurants. All of the historic plantations were within a short drive. Mimi was a great hostess and pointed us in the right direction everytime and shared her considerable knowledge of Natchez history with us in the mornings. We couldn't have been more pleased and considered the price to be very fair. We didn't even feel like we needed dinner after those breakfasts ...yum!
