Lovely stay in convenient area
We were in town for a wedding in Natchez. Location is very nice. The home is older and so is in some need of some maintenance. But beyond that was a nice place to stay.

Cozy cottage
The Darby Cottage was the perfect house for our group of 4 friends. We enjoyed the bank porch where we drank our morning coffee and we enjoyed the L-shaped sofa where we relaxed and watched movies. We would definitely recommend Darby’s Cottage to friends and family! We hope to come back to Natchez and stay there again.

Perfect Home!
We had an amazing stay at Darby’s Guest House! The location allowed us to walk to restaurants, the farmers market, and shopping. You can’t beat this location! The inside is beautifully furnished and the beds were so comfortable. I highly recommend anyone looking to stay here if you get the chance.

Mother and daughters girl trip
Enjoyed our stay at Darby’s. Location is close to everything. We toured the beautiful homes, drove along the Natchez trace parkway, visited Memorial Park, photography exhibit in the First Presbyterian church, a ghost tour and the Natchez City Cemetery. We walked downtown to shop in the cute stores and walked in Bluff Park every night to watch the sunset over the River. Enjoyed live music on Friday. Plenty of wonderful restaurants for dining. We will return and hope to stay here again.

Had a great stay at Darby's Guest House. Easily walking distance to great restaurants, river bluff, some of the Antebellum homes, and the carriage ride. Darby was easy to work with and we had a great time. Nice to have a king bed in one room and 2 queens in the other, along with their own bathrooms. We enjoyed the back porch a lot!
