COMPLIMENTARY BREAKFAST

Historic Southern Hospitality in Downtown Natchez

The Riverboat Bed & Breakfast is a historic Southern cottage (built in 1867) offering vintage charm, a white picket fence welcome, and a relaxing porch for guests to enjoy.​

The Riverboat Bed & Breakfast welcomes you with warm, down-home charm in the heart of Natchez, Mississippi. Our beautifully preserved historic home, built in 1867, is rich with character and family heritage – the owner’s great-great-grandfather, Joseph Trudell, was a Mississippi riverboat pilot, which inspired our B&B’s name.​

Here, you’ll experience the graciousness of Southern hospitality from the moment you arrive. Natchez is known as the "Bed & Breakfast Capital of the South." Riverboat B&B stands out as one of its most unique and welcoming stays.​

Personal touch is our specialty. Innkeeper Marybeth greets every guest in person and makes you feel right at home. We encourage direct bookings by phone – when you call (601) 445-8217 to reserve your room, you’ll talk to Marybeth, not an impersonal booking engine. She’s happy to answer questions, help plan your stay, and ensure any special requests are taken care of. She loves getting to know the guests in advance – it’s the start of the personal connection that defines a stay at the Riverboat B&B. And as a bonus, booking by phone guarantees you the best available rates and no middleman fees! The B&B is centrally located in downtown Natchez, just a two-minute walk from Main Street shops and restaurants. And it's only one block from the Mississippi River bluff and park​.  Leave your car parked for free and stroll to historic sites, museums, the convention center, or a sunset over the river. After a day of sightseeing, come “home” to relax on our beckoning front porch with rocking chairs and a cold sweet tea, or a glass of wine. Whether you prefer quiet time with a book or swapping stories with fellow guests, there is an open, friendly atmosphere makes it easy to unwind Southern-style​.

Why Choose The Riverboat B&B?

Authentic Southern Hospitality: Our guests are treated like family. Expect cheerful greetings, help with your bags, and genuine conversations. Marybeth is an attentive host who anticipates your needs before you ask – from trip recommendations to keeping your favorite snacks on hand.​

You’ll experience the true meaning of Southern hospitality here; with friendly service you won’t find at any chain hotel.

Historic Charm & Comfort: Our home dates to the 19th century and features antebellum-period charm – high ceilings, antique furnishings, vintage decor, and even some family heirlooms on display. Each room is decorated with period antiques and plush quilts, so you can soak up the bygone era ambiance​.  Despite the historic feel, we haven’t skimped on comfort: enjoy modern amenities like central A/C, high-speed Wi-Fi​, and streaming-capable flat-screen TVs. It’s truly the best of old and new.

Prime Downtown Location: Located in the center of Natchez, our B&B puts you steps away from everything. Walk to top-rated restaurants, charming cafés, art galleries, and live music venues. The Natchez Convention Center is just two blocks away, and the famous Natchez Bluff overlooking the Mighty Mississippi is only a block from our door. Park your car once and explore on foot​ – the neighborhood is safe, scenic, and very walkable day or night.

Gourmet Breakfast Included: Every stay comes with a delicious home-cooked breakfast each morning. It’s the perfect start to a day of exploring Natchez. We’re happy to accommodate dietary needs with advance notice – just let us know.

Unique Stay in Natchez: Unlike a generic hotel, the Riverboat B&B offers a one-of-a-kind experience. You’ll sleep in a piece of history and enjoy personal stories about the house and Natchez from Marybeth. Many guests tell us their stay here “was the highlight of our trip” because of the authentic connections and memories made. If you’re looking for a unique place to stay in Natchez, you’ve found it!

Privacy & Personal Service: With just three guest rooms, our B&B never feels crowded or touristy. It’s quiet and peaceful, making it ideal for romantic getaways and restful retreats.
