The Briars Bed & Breakfast, Natchez, MS. $99. For a little more than a Holiday Inn Express, we were sitting on the highest bluff between the mouth of the Mississippi and St. Louis. Watching the barges make the slow trip up and down the river. It was a weekday and we had the WHOLE HOUSE to ourselves. Oh yeah, Jefferson Davis' 2nd wife grew up here. Built in 1814. He married her in the parlor in 1845. Grab a book, sit in the parlor and read his letters. Sit on the porch, listen to the cicada. Walk to the overlook and watch the river go by.
Sit by the frog pond and listen to 'em croaking. Natchez under the Hill is a couple hundred yards away.
Breakfast (it is a bed and Breakfast) overlooked the river. Henry served grits, orange juice, coffee, muscadine jelly, biscuits, grilled apricots, fig muffins, and sausage/egg casserole. I was concerned about it's ownership by a casino, but I never would have known it.
