We had a fabulous stay!! The owners were so wonderful and the place was just as described!! Everything was perfect! The place was perfect and we so enjoyed the courtyard. Definitely recommend and will be coming back and staying here!!
This property is exactly as advertised, has everything you could need, is super convenient to downtown shops, and we felt safe, secure, and comfortable. Would stay here again.
Our overall stay was nothing short of amazing. The property, the communication, the location. It was all great and we loved the Gaol. We will definitely be back
We loved the accommodations…comfortable, unique, roomy…the courtyard is a very big bonus as it was a great place to have an outdoor private picnic after grabbing lunch to go. If you love antiques, you will enjoy this location! Thanks Richard!

Very nicely updated historical property. The courtyard in the back is a nice place to spend some quiet time. It is very private and picturesque. The location is within reasonable walking distance for most of the historic downtown. Enjoyed our stay and would recommend accommodation,
The close proximity to the antique shops was perfect. We were able to walk to local restaurants and just enjoy all that part of Natchez had to offer.
It was just the cutest property with plenty of room for the 3 of us.
Awesome place to stay with a beautiful private court yard. Richard left us with all the amenities we could possibly need and answered promptly to any questions we had. Definitely recommend this condo if you are in the Natchez area.
Plans for this weekend were cancelled so off we came to beautiful Natchez. We have previously stayed at The Gaol and Mr. Richard's other properties. The Gaol is always neat, clean and provides snacks and WINE. Love being on Franklin Street for all shopping! Don't worry we will be back again! Totally recommend!!
The Gaol was everything we hoped for! Great way to spend our 32nd wedding anniversary. It was near everything we wanted to do. The owner's antique stop was next door. Will definitely be staying again.
This is a great location that is within walking distance to downtown dining and shopping. The property was just like it was advertised and was super clean with all the supplies we needed. Richard was a great host and super accommodating. The courtyard area was a nice place to sit and visit and enjoy the evening with friends. We definitely recommend this location!
My husband and I had a very enjoyable stay at the Gaol in Natchez. The unit was beautifully decorated with antiques and very comfortable furniture. We enjoyed morning coffee in the courtyard. The location was central to the sites we visited. Very clean with a gracious host. We plan on returning to the Gaol.
We enjoyed our stay so much at the Gaol. We loved the openness of the whole place. My adult sons loved the pinball machine! We were able to walk downtown to eat from this location and we were lucky enough to have nice weather. I can’t forget to say how nice the courtyard was. Beautiful!! If you stay you will have to check out the antiques next door. We will be back!
This property is located in the downtown area. We had three adults. The place is very unique inside with two beds in a large common room, kitchen living area and a loft above with bedroom. 1 1/2 bath. We loved it. Great for our group. The courtyard was so pretty and a great place for a glass of wine and coffee in the morning. The cat welcomed us in the courtyard the last morning.
The Gaul/old jail was renovated BEAUTIFULLY!!! Mr. Richard was a wonderful Host and Mrs Barbara well just loved her!! Everything was as Mr Richard said it was-the shopping and dining was close by ( walking distance) The Courtyard took my breath away it was stunning we spent as much time out there as we could!! And we could of not of asked for better weather!! If you are looking for a place to stay in Natchez THIS IS DEFINITELY IT!!! The people are so friendly and we loved every minute of our stay will definitely be coming back and staying here again!!
Thank you Mr Richard!!
Delightful! Richard was very accommodating and great to talk with. The Gaol is well appointed and very cute. We fully enjoyed our stay and plan on returning soon.
The Gaol was the perfect place for us. Very clean and a quick walk to local eateries and antique stores. Host was also accommodating. We would definitely stay here again!
Such a unique property, full of Character! Within walking distance of many shops and restaurants. Beautiful courtyard! Very private to the property. Easy walk to the river. Would definitely go back!
We had a wonderful time! Everything we needed was there, plus.
It's a great property. We would love to return at some point and do some things we didn't have time to do. We had fun in Gaol!
