Private court yard!

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.

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.

Natchez Gaol

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!
