Everything you will need and more
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.

Weekend get away
Plans for this weekend were cancelled so off we came to beautiful Natchez. We have previously stayed at The Gaol and Mr. Richard's other properties. The Gaol is always neat, clean and provides snacks and WINE. Love being on Franklin Street for all shopping! Don't worry we will be back again! Totally recommend!!

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.

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.

Relaxing Stay in Natchez
We loved the accommodations…comfortable, unique, roomy…the courtyard is a very big bonus as it was a great place to have an outdoor private picnic after grabbing lunch to go. If you love antiques, you will enjoy this location! Thanks Richard!

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!
