    well located, walking distance from downtown Vicksburg. Outstanding home and decoration, you feel like going back to the past. Amazing room. The breakfeast was delicious and adequate. We regret that we didn't see a lot our host on the arrival, but we could discuss with him at the breakfeast, and he gave us informations about the history of the house and the plantations around.

    We had an great time staying at the Baer House. Our hostess was special and went the extra mile to make us welcome and help us enjoy our stay both at the Baer House and in Vicksburg. This included finding a guide to take us on a walking tour. The room was very clean and welcoming.

    Our two-day stay was all we expected. Doug was a charming and helpful host. He served us an amazing and satisfying breakfast. Vicksburg served as a grand historic and educational trip. The Bonnie Blue room was enchanting and comfortable. Upon leaving, a rain shower left us with the most beautiful double rainbow. S and J

    My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our Baer House visit. The house is lovely and the host was very accomodating (we especially appreciated the host's advice on touring the historical Vicksburg sites). Breakfast was delicious. We plan to return with friends next time!

    I was not impressed with Vicksburg, but was wonderfully impressed with this bed and breakfast. It was clean, well appointed and comfortable. Doug was a wonderful host and the food was wonderful. If you are going to Vicksburg or just passing through to go somewhere else, this place is well worth a stop. You will be glad that you did.
