I’ve stayed here twice, once in 1997, and again in 2001. The first time was magical because it was on Thanksgiving eve, and there were only a handful of guests. A unique and delicious dinner is offered, and at that time, all of us were at one table: two semi-Yankee dentists and wives from St. Louis, a Croatian couple, a New York editor and wife, and a lady and her aunt who was in a wheelchair. The aunt had actually met Mother Teresa. The conversation was delightful and interesting. The home and grounds are lovely.
On the second occasion, we stayed in one of the cottages. The second occasion was at Mardi Gras, and many people from New Orleans escape to Natchez at that time. The first time was candlelight and mystery and an undercurrent of grandeur. The second time was boisterous bonhomie (4 tables, larger rooms, mint juleps, more servants, a onetime cook who returned as a guest, an Australian tennis player, a British teacher, New Orleans escapees, college dean). It isn’t inexpensive, but worth the price even without a ghost.

I was a laborer on the restoration of this home. Watched it go from delapidated to magnificent. Never once saw any sign of haunting. Although I did once get stuck under the house
