1848 T.J. Harper house in historic enclave close to restaurants, downtown, etc.
Enjoy a peaceful stay at this historic Greek Revival house in Vicksburg. The lovely home is well furnished, featuring a king bed, a queen bed, and a daybed with a trundle, comfortably sleeping your whole group. With two and a half bathrooms, including one with a jetted bathtub, guests can unwind after a day of exploring. The house stays cozy with heating and cool with AC, making it perfect year-round. Whether you’re relaxing in the spacious living areas or screened porch or getting ready for the day with convenient essentials like a hair dryer, iron, and coffee making supplies, this charming retreat has you covered. Feel free to reach out to us during your stay—we live down the street and are happy to suggest local spots to check out. There's a lot to do that is walkable.
Please note that we are centrally located in a 200-year-old town. Our street is a dead end, so there is no through traffic, but there are homes, antebellum mansions, apartments, businesses, churches, and civic/cultural centers in the surrounding blocks. If you feel uncomfortable staying where there is not suburban uniformity—where there is diversity of people, activities, architectural styles, property uses, etc.—you may have a better experience elsewhere. While we no longer allow children as this house isn't well suited to children. There is fine furniture and no child-friendly entertainments.
