We liked it all. The little 1885 house was precious, furnished with appropriate period antiques. The back yard area was wonderful. It was such a pleasure to sit out on the large back porch and drink coffee in the morning. The house is the perfect location being within walking distance from several historic sites in Natchez, including being right across the street from historic 1820 Rosalie. Everything we needed for a pleasant stay was provided.
We spent four nights here and enjoyed every minute. The house was immaculately clean, had everything we needed and was filled with thoughtful touches. The back porch was a great place to enjoy morning coffee or an evening beverage.
This home is exactly as in the listing. It is very convenient to all of the historical attractions. It is on a busy street, but the back porch is nice and peaceful.
We enjoyed a lovely long weekend in Natchez. The Isabella Cottage was the perfect location. We enjoyed walking around town and had everything we needed. Some other guests mentioned in past reviews that the road noise bothered them, but we had no trouble sleeping!

Great place, great backyard
Very charming place, very clean and great location!
Cozy little place to stay ,located near downtown.perfect little back porch ,courtyard . Can't say enough great things about our stay. Everything was perfect Thanks Would definitely stay again.
My husband,mother, and our two dogs stayed for the 4th of July fireworks. This little cottage was perfect. It was a great location to walk to most places and it had everything we needed. A fenced back yard for the “kids” with a bbq pit was great. The cottage has so much charm. We loved it.
Great deal for a first time trip to Natchez, my wife and I stayed to get away for a couple days to celebrate 14 years together! We will definitely be back!
