Luxury A-frame Retreat on Private Lake with Firepit! Family Gathering & Relaxing
The Natchez Retreat Private Lakeside A-Frame on Southwood Lake Welcome to your private lakeside escape in Natchez, Mississippi.
Perched on a ridge overlooking beautiful Southwood Lake, this cozy A-frame cabin sits on a ±30-acre stocked private lake known for its history of trophy bass. Whether you're here to fish, hike, watch wildlife, or simply unwind in total peace — this is the place to do it.
Just 15–20 minutes from historic downtown Natchez, you get the best of both worlds: privacy in nature with easy access to town.
The Experience Stunning lake views from the back deck Incredible sunsets over the water Wildlife sightings daily (ducks, birds, turtles, and more) Peaceful, private setting Starlink high-speed internet Heated & cooled with mini-split system for year-round comfort
The drive in along Turkey Creek Road is part of the magic — rolling hills, wooded scenery, and even the possibility of seeing elk and exotic wildlife beyond the high fence.
You’ll know you’ve arrived somewhere special.
Sleeping Arrangements Loft (Upstairs) King bed Futon for kids or extra guests
Downstairs Bedroom Bunk (Twin on top / Full on bottom)
Additional sleeping options: Spacious living room seating for relaxing or additional sleeping arrangements

Fishing & Lake Information (Important) Southwood Lake is a private, members-only lake built in the late 1970s and known for:
Trophy bass White perch Bream Catfish
Our guests are allowed to fish from the bank during their stay — but lake rules must be followed.
Lake Rules: CATCH & RELEASE ALL BASS (strictly enforced) Catfish, perch, and bream may be kept No fishing license required (private lake) Watch children closely — the lake is large and very deep If you catch a trophy bass: Measure it. Weigh it. Have a replica made. Then release it so it can continue to grow. Fishing access is a privilege we protect carefully so future guests can enjoy it too.
Getting Here 4-wheel drive is not required but recommended The driveway is steep — 4WD makes departure easier Most cars, trucks, and SUVs with standard ground clearance are fine Turkey Creek Road is hilly and scenic
Why You’ll Love It This isn’t just a cabin.
It’s: Morning coffee overlooking still water Quiet evenings watching the sunset Wildlife right outside your door A true nature reset Private. Peaceful. Unplugged — but still connected if you need it.
Our pricing includes all fees. No hidden surprises.
We respect guest privacy but are available if needed.
Come relax. Cast a line. Watch the sunset. The lake is waiting.

We had a great time and enjoyed the peace and quiet of the area. The lake was a big plus. So wonderful just listening to the wind in the trees. Was very clean and comfortable. We hope to be back in the Fall.
My husband & I had a great few days here! We caught 2 catfish & about 15 bream. The ducks, geese, egrets, other birds, and turtles were absolutely beautiful to observe. This is definitely the place to go and get away from everyday life!

So glad you enjoyed your stay! Thank you and we hope to see you again!
My experience was great we came all the way from Houston, Texas to visit a friend that lives in Natchez. And It was clean, organized, and the atmosphere was comfortable, making the overall journey enjoyable. We were able to bring our ATVs and fishing equipment along with us and experience the country life. We will definitely book again!

❤️ Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a wonderful review. Have a great day!
This is an awesome rustic retreat tucked off of the beaten path. The cabin is private with no neighbors close by. Its on a shared lake that is well maintained and full of visible brush piles. The fishing was amazing. The cabin was well stocked and clean. The host was great and helped me out of a sticky situation. Totally my fault... Will definitely stay there again.
Overall the property was as advertised, private and quiet. We stayed on the property all weekend without venturing into Natchez. We recommend this place to unwind.
Checkin and communication was very good. Relaxed and grilled some food while fishing mornings and evenings. Comfortable, clean cabin with all you need.
It was very private and peaceful. Great little cabin overlooking the lake. Host was available if any issues. Close to Natchez, grocery and fuel. Checkout Natchez Brewery great pizza and craft beer. Pig out inn has great bbq. Thank you for hospitality. We will be back. Our dogs loved the porch too!!

Had a awesome, peaceful few days.. Didn't catch any fish, but had fun trying. Very peaceful nice cabin. Just wish the had a bathroom upstairs. Going back soon. Owner, Chris was awesome.
This was such a wonderful place for a relaxing and private getaway. We felt immersed in nature and had a great time fishing on the lake. Chris was extremely helpful and responsive and went above and beyond!
