Property was very clean and comfortable. Location is walkable to everything in the historic part of town, so once I got there I didn’t use my car until I checked out. Courtyard is incredibly peaceful and pretty!

Nice Place

We enjoyed our stay at the property. It was in walking distance of some great shops. Communication with the property owner was easy and so was checking in. Mini toiletry items were furnished along with a bottle of wine in the fridge and bottled water. That was unexpected but appreciated.

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.

Great stay

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!

Lovely courtyard and great location

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.

Beautiful property. In downtown walking distance to so many restaurants and shops. Has all the amenities you will need and more, including snacks and wine. They were nice enough to allow us to check in early since we arrived before check in time. Great communication and tons of information about the surrounding area included. Will definitely book again if we return to Natchez.

Wonderful Stay at the Gaol

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.
