Our Bed & Breakfast includes the elegant 1893 Queen Ann Victorian main house and the charming 1873 Victorian Aunt Clara's Cottage. Our Bed & Breakfast now features 6 rooms, 2 beautifully appointed suite/rooms surrounded by carefully manicured gardens in the main house and 4 spacious rooms in the cottage with heart pine floors and large veranda. Aunt Clara's Cottage is located a few steps from our main house.
Escape to quiet times, Victorian southern comfort and history in beautiful Natchez, a city filled with architectural magnificence. The Devereaux Shields House is an elegant two-story home set on exquisitely manicured gardens covered with Natchez crepe myrtles and camellias. The main house is named for Lt. Colonel and Ms. Devereaux Shields who are believed to have built the Queen Ann Victorian-style home in Natchez, MS between 1893 and 1900. Colonel Shields was a veteran and hero for his exploits in the Philippines during the Spanish-American War in the late 19th Century. Our homes are just a few blocks from the 200-foot-high Natchez Bluffs, which offers a stunning view of the Mississippi River for several miles in both directions. Enjoy dramatic sunsets across the western horizon and Louisiana lowlands; enjoy walks along the bluff overlooking the Mighty Mississippi; relax with the slow pace of the huge tows and barges as they navigate the currents of the river.
