Darby's Guest House!

180 year old cottage, fully restored with a modern twist! Located in the heart of Natchez and only one street away from the Mighty Mississippi River! Across the street from the Famous Fat Mamas Tamales and the Corner Bar! Just a short walk to Darby's, a destination store with 5 buildings in one block. Fabulous exercise path along the bluff of the Mississippi River.. Step out of our cottage and walk to the bluff to watch the most beautiful sunset in the world and then stroll down the street for a glass of wine and delicious tapas at 100 Main and then stroll on down the street to Smoots for live Music on the weekends! Park your car at our cottage and just walk or call Rock N Roll Taxi ! We are in the best spot in Natchez! .

Quick Getaway

May family and I decided to stay here while attending an event nearby in Louisiana. Darby’s cottage was perfect for us. It is in a great location. We were able to walk most places we went. Our host was available if we needed anything, and easy to communicate with. Thanks for allowing us to stay!

Lovely stay in convenient area

We were in town for a wedding in Natchez. Location is very nice. The home is older and so is in some need of some maintenance. But beyond that was a nice place to stay.

Cozy cottage

The Darby Cottage was the perfect house for our group of 4 friends. We enjoyed the bank porch where we drank our morning coffee and we enjoyed the L-shaped sofa where we relaxed and watched movies. We would definitely recommend Darby’s Cottage to friends and family! We hope to come back to Natchez and stay there again.

Mother and daughters girl trip

Enjoyed our stay at Darby’s. Location is close to everything. We toured the beautiful homes, drove along the Natchez trace parkway, visited Memorial Park, photography exhibit in the First Presbyterian church, a ghost tour and the Natchez City Cemetery. We walked downtown to shop in the cute stores and walked in Bluff Park every night to watch the sunset over the River. Enjoyed live music on Friday. Plenty of wonderful restaurants for dining. We will return and hope to stay here again.

Location, location, location

Had a great stay at Darby's Guest House. Easily walking distance to great restaurants, river bluff, some of the Antebellum homes, and the carriage ride. Darby was easy to work with and we had a great time. Nice to have a king bed in one room and 2 queens in the other, along with their own bathrooms. We enjoyed the back porch a lot!
