"There was so much more to look at -- wonderful stuff -- beautiful restoration of the house with perfect attention to comfort -- ac/heater, lovely sheets and towels -- thoughtfully appointed kitchen. We felt treasured and welcomed. We ate at Biscuits & Blues and loved it.
We will certainly be back and next time for two nights and we will steer other folks & family here. We wish you great success and pleasure in your new Shantybellum."

PS -- I noticed that we have similar tastes in Hawaiian shirts. Make sure we're invited to your next Luau! -- John

"Being a Roadie I've seen many wonderful places all over this great nation, however the ShantyBellum is tops on the list of "wanna go back". I've never stayed in a place that felt so much like home to me. The neighbors were wonderful. Natchez & surrounding area seemed very familiar to me, even though I'd never been there before - at least in this life time. I can not wait to go back. In fact, I really didn't want to leave.
Tommy, what can I say? The ShantyBellum Rocks! Keep a room ready for me."
