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, etc.—you may have a better experience elsewhere. While we do not forbid children, this house isn't well suited to children. There is fine furniture and no child-friendly entertainments. Some past guests with children have had difficulty avoiding being charged for carpet cleaning and extra cleaning. Children under age 18 may not remain in the house without an adult present.

So far this house is our favorite VRBO. Great location, amazing house-loved everything about out. Check in and out was a easy, house was immaculate and the kitchen had everything we could need. Would definitely stay here again and recommend to anyone visiting Vicksburg, especially if you're going for the history!

Glad you enjoyed your stay and thanks for your great review. We’ll look forward to having you visit again.
Everything was absolutely wonderful! The host is responsive and very helpful. The home is so very comfortable and not lacking for any amenities. The location is perfect for walking about and good restaurants (Walnut Hills is a must-go), and it was very quiet. It was immaculately clean, the beds are comfortable, and the kitchen was well-stocked with coffee essentials. We will be coming back very soon!
This home is beautiful. It was clean, & well stocked with bathroom amenities, & extra bedding if needed. The kitchen is well stocked with dishes, & has everything needed for coffee. We stayed two nights, & felt right at home. We absolutely enjoyed ourselves. It is right downtown near restaurants, historic homes tour, & not far from all the history museums & the military park. John was very responsive, & answered any questions we had. If we ever make it back to Vicksburg, we would love to stay here again.
Enjoyed our stay, it was located perfectly for our activities. It was well stocked with paper goods, soaps, dishes, etc. We were only there for 2 nights and all went well.

Thanks for your review and for being great guests.
The outside was humble but the interior was super nice. The rooms were tastefully decorated and the towels and linens were quality.Location was walking distance to numerous historical sites.Our host invited us to a private tour of a historical house he and his partner are renovating. They spent two hours showing us their project, it was the highlight of the week.
Really happy to find a clean, large space to stay that is dog friendly! The owner provided dog blankets and a food & water bowl. The backyard was large and reasonably fenced off - our dog is not an escape artist so it worked for us! So much space in the master bedroom, bathroom and kitchen! The master bath had a closet area that was cleared out & would be great space for a pack n play or travel crib. Very close to the restaurant we ate at downtown if it wasn’t raining we would’ve walked!
House was beautiful! Well appointed and very clean and comfortable. Great communication from the host, including wonderful restaurant recommendations. My only suggestion is for guests with dogs. They might reach out to chat with host about the fence. It was fine for our dogs, but might not be secure enough for escape artists.

Thank you for your kind review, and for staying at our house. We’ll add a description of the fence in the listing.
John was very welcoming and helpful- a more gracious host you will not find. The house is really beautiful once you step into the front foyer. The house is unassuming outside but breathtaking inside. All details have been thought out. It is extremely close to all that downtown Vicksburg has to offer and is surrounded by historic buildings. An enormous oak tree stands between the house and sunrise--amazing. We were here for business but I assure you we will be back to enjoy this quaint home and town.

We live nearby on this quiet, historic street, close to neighborhood restaurants, events, and downtown
What makes this property unique
This house and others on this dead-end street were once all owned by Dr. T.J. Harper and his descendants. Built in 1848, this house features historic details like the Greek Revival door frontispiece, jib doors below windows, tall ceilings, and spacious rooms. Modern updates include stylish bathrooms, and an open floor plan for entertaining. The tree shaded back yard offers glimpses of nearby historic rooflines and the screened porch provides a view to the city.
