Linden - A Historic Bed and Breakfast

Fantastic stay from arrival to departure! The room was well appointed with high end finishes. What a wonderful mix of history and modern amenities. David greeted us upon arrival and felt like a friend by the end of our weekend. Every member of the staff was full of southern hospitality. I will definitely be returning to Linden.

My best friend and I booked a two-night stay at Linden as a birthday trip. This was the first time either of us has stayed at a bed and breakfast, and I felt like royalty! We stayed in Dick’s Suite, and it was clean and massive! The bed and pillows were comfortable, and the breakfast was delicious! The owners and staff were courteous and attentive. The beautifully decorated home with serene landscape is nestled in a quiet country setting just a few blocks from the town of Natchez. I highly recommend Linden!

The charm of Linden BB was more than I expected. The Charlotte suite we were assigned to was very roomy and comfortable. The bed was super and gave us a great nights sleep. The breakfast was plenty and very good. The southern charm of this antebellum mansion was “Gone With The Wind” inspiring. I highly recommend.

Room and bathroom was large with beautiful, comfortable furnishings. Full breakfast is at 8:30 in the main house in the dining room with antique furnishings and was very delicious. Everyone is very gracious and helpful. House is near to downtown and tourist attractions. Would definitely recommend and we would stay here again!

Arriving at Linden, a historic 6th generation residence dating back to 1790, nestled on seven pristine acres of tranquil land where birds harmoniously sing, I was greeted by the enchanting charm of this Southern antebellum home – that would be my bed and breakfast experience in Natchez, MS! The sight of Spanish moss and the large oak trees took my breath away. I rushed out of my car to quickly snap photos of the beautiful grounds, the European-like gardens, and the grand exterior of the house. Linden's fame is well-deserved, as I discovered during my pre-trip research. The main front door was the model used to create the entrance of Scarlett's Tara from "Gone with the Wind", and the house featured a 98-foot foyer and an impressive collection of Federal-style furniture. A property listed on the National Register of Historic Places; Linden embodies all the quintessential characteristics of the South. Its grandeur and beauty made me wish my husband was there to share the experience with me, but even more reason to return! The front and back porches of the house are beautifully designed and are perfect spots to forget about time. After exploring the town that evening and having had dinner, I returned to Linden around 9pm to find my hosts, David and Marjorie chatting with guests on the back porch. Linden’s back porch acts as a bridge between the home and its guests, having brought us together in a seamless blend as if we were meant to be, destined to get to know each other. Though tired after a full day of driving and activities, I couldn’t resist sitting for a while and joined in on the pleasant conversation that lasted until midnight! Fun fact: before electricity and air conditioning, people used breezeways to catch the wind and escape the summer heat. Today, the breezeway is a socializing spot for enjoying drinks and conversation. While the porches might be one of the favorite parts of the house, the most famous though, is its front door. If you've seen the famed movie 'Gone With the Wind', you'll recognize the grand front door of the Tara plantation, which was inspired by Linden's door! My room, called 'Feltus', is located on the main floor of the west wing and offers a cozy and charming atmosphere. It’s grand stature with its beautiful hardwood floors, four poster bed, fireplace and bath exude hygge comfort and charm. The elegant four-poser bed is positioned in the center of the room, allowing a view of the garden or the surrounding porch through windows on all sides. During a recent bathroom renovation, a wall made of bricks from the adjoining fireplace was discovered – a stunning architectural find. Upon arrival, I was greeted with a personalized welcome letter, as well as water and snacks. Marjorie, who later greeted me, commented that staying in the Feltus room truly felt like a vacation. I often judge a B&B by its bed linens and bathroom towels. The bed pillows were plump, perfect to sink into and the bed ever so comfortable. Its lin

Beautiful old home. Bedroom was very comfortable. There was a tour for folks on a cruise ship going on when we arrived, but we were treated to a delicious milk punch. Unfortunately, we had to leave before enjoying the traditional Southern breakfast. I'm sure we would have enjoyed it too.
