Ideal setting and accommodations

Well-furnished and supplied; a very large space decorated uniquely; great location; wonderful outdoor courtyard. Would love to rent the space again if we return to Natchez. Great place for a short stay or an extended stay. The hosts are quite hospitable. (I would, however, recommend new mattresses for a more comfortable night's rest.)

Exceptional Stay at Above the Law in the Historic Law Building – A Natchez Gem!I recently had the absolute pleasure of staying at Above the Law, a luxurious apartment rental nestled in the iconic Law Building in downtown Natchez, Mississippi. Booked through VRBO, this place exceeded all my expectations and made for an unforgettable getaway. If you’re looking for a blend of historic charm, modern comfort, and Southern hospitality, this is the spot. My partner and I spent a full week here, exploring the area’s rich history and antebellum mansions, and we couldn’t have chosen a better home base. The charm of this place is off the charts. The Law Building itself is a piece of Natchez history, originally a former law office that has been beautifully repurposed into upscale accommodations. Above the Law is the upstairs apartment, and stepping inside feels like entering a time capsule with a contemporary twist. The high ceilings, exposed brick walls, and original architectural details give it that authentic old-world allure, while the tasteful renovations ensure it’s bright, airy, and inviting. It’s not just a rental; it’s a storybook setting that captures the essence of Natchez’s storied past. We felt transported to a bygone era, yet with all the conveniences of today. The overall vibe is one of elegant nostalgia.

Great hosts and a wonderful stay in Natchez

My husband and I had a wonderful 3-month stay at the Above the Law apartment. The location in the downtown historic district was perfect for us to walk to shops, restaurants and, of course, the Mississippi River and the gorgeous bluff area. The apartment was beautifully furnished with art work, period furniture and interesting collections, and we also made good use of the street-side and courtyard balconies, especially in the mornings and evenings. Our hosts, Richard and Jill, were so kind and generous with information, suggestions and great stories about Natchez, its history and culture that we felt immediately at home. We had some great conversations with them and overall the people we met in Natchez were friendly, always willing to chat and offer help as we wandered - obvious tourists - around the the city. Our stay in Natchez was a real pleasure and we can definitely recommend a stay at the the Above the Law.

About the host

Hosted by Richard Branyan

4 years as a host
This used to be my home - but I moved 3 years ago / still looks like my home - many collections and art remain -
Retains a home away from home feel.

Why they chose this property

Moved to Downtown Natchez over 30 years ago
Opened a store in Natchez in 1987
Lived in this apartment from 1992.

What makes this property unique

It was a home for many years - it still feels personal. It has art, several collections, and even artwork by the owner.
When I moved I only took a few items and left it as my home. (Just did another one!)
It is still used by my family at certain times during the year.
