My husband and I live about 90 miles from Natchez and travel
frequently there for festivals and weekend getaways. We have stayed at 1888 Wensel House at least 15 or more times over the years and think it is an incredible bargain. This B&B is
only two blocks from the Mississippi River and is in walking distance of just about everything in the Historic Natchez District.
The rooms are large and very clean. I love the Oak Room because the oak furniture belonged to the owners grandmother. My husband adores the Cottage. You get complimentary cocktails/drinks and a variety of newspapers are available in the parlor. The breakfast is incredible...the table is set so pretty and you have a wonderful Southern breakfast of orange juice, coffee, fresh fruit, pancakes, sausage, bacon, eggs, grits, biscuits served family style. The best part are the owners, Ron and Mimi Miller. They are a wealth of information for tourists and historians but are just simply two of the nicest and gracious people we've met in the B&B industry. If you are looking for a bed and breakfast that will exceed your expectations and will not disappoint then choose the 1888 Wensel House.

The 1888 Wensel House Bed and Breakfast was the perfect vacation destination. My wife and I stayed in the cottage for three nights. The service and accommidations for us made our trip unforgettable. Ron and Mimi do an exceptional job of making all of their guests feel as if they are at a home away from home. The cottage was extremely comfortable and romantic. We will definitely visit the Wensel House in the future and recommend it to anyone looking for a wonderful and relaxing getaway. Thank you Ron and Mimi for making this special time in our lives so memorable.

stayed in cottage 'out back'. superb character property that accomadated us and parents comfortable. Also a bonus was the washing machine and dryer for us to 'refresh' clothes half way through the holiday. Good food and bars nearby, and a good breakfast in the morning.

A great experience for UK cits to try a little local hospitality - rather than the 'faceless' multicorp hotels (which do at times have their place admittedly)

First of all, my family and I feel lucky to have been taken in by Ron and Mimi after our original reservation with a nearby B&B fell through. The house is lovely. It's got all that you need. Comfortable spaces, beautiful things, and spacious rooms. The little cottage out back is GREAT, with the full kitchen, the DVD television and the washer and dryer. Great for families. The most important parts of our experience with Ron and Mimi were the incredible conversations and delicious breakfasts (with three different kinds of melons in the fruit salad!) that we enjoyed while there. Ron and Mimi know how to get people talking and enjoying one another's company. In fact, one morning we didn't get out of the house until almost 10 because the breakfast had turned into a kind of morning cocktail party with people milling around and trading e-mails. Ron and Mimi know EVERYTHING about Natchez and about Mississippi history. We think they're the secret mayors of Natchez. Learned, funny, generous and kind, these innkeepers made us want to go back to Natchez just to spend time with them. Forget the antebellum house tours. You want to learn about Natchez, talk to the Millers.

For the practicals. it's located perfectly. You can walk almost everywhere you want to go. It's well-priced. It's comfortable. And it's literally steps away from a really well-stocked book store, which to nerds like me and my husband, is a glorious thing.

Absolutely fabulous!
