    We found a very charming lady very proud of its heritage (I would say she can be), ready to share it with you if you show some interest. For those who like athmosphere rooms, that's THE place you should not miss. Breakfast was prepared with love and very complete. Bravo

    The Elms was a nice quiet getaway. Esther was very accommodating yet gave us our space. Her breakfast was delicious!

    My husband and I just returned today from a two night stay in the Kellog Room. We enjoyed the Romance package. I did not want to leave. Esther is a wonderful hostess. We felt pampered! The room was incredible. The bed was super comfortable. The house and grounds were beautiful. The breakfasts each morning were superb. If I could, I would give the overall experience ten stars. We will come again.


    The perfect romantic B&B location!

    The Elms was fantistic. My Husband and I spent a couple days there on our honeymoon and it could not have been more romantic. The Kellog Room was perfect, beautiful and extremely comfortable. The bathrooms was nice and relaxing and both the shower and tub (which had bubble bath to go along with it) were suited for two! The staff was very friendly and yet unobtrusive. The breakfasts were also delicious and served beautifully. If we had it to do all over again, we would still choose The Elms for our honeymoon and we will definitely be going there again at our first opportunity for a getaway!

    My Husband and I stayed at the Elms May 12th and 13th (two nights). Had a wonderful stay. Stayed in the Castle Room. The bed was very comfortable, linens top quality and towels very plush. Antique furnishings beautiful. Grounds were extensive, we enjoyed sitting outstide in the afternoons after our daily excursions. Esther was a perfect hostess. Breakfast was very good. The house is very close to "downtown" Natchez and we were able to walk to many of the sites. Only improvement we would wish was for more seating areas on the porch. Rather than one big seating area perhaps three smaller groupings. Shades on the bedroom windows that could easily be closed at night would have been nice. But overall loved the Elms and would stay there again.
