I cannot speak of the overnight service/staff but you receive poor service for the "tour" of the residence. At $10 per person you get a 10 minute video and access to 4 rooms on the main floor wherein you guide yourself with little context, unless you took notes in the video presentation. If you come during the Vicksburg passport season, be sure they stamp your booklet. After touring here we went to another home for a tour and they informed us of the passport and stamp system. However, the home is furnished beautifully.

A historic Southern oasis…with great food and service. Somehow they pulled off serving a busload of elderly tourists in the large dining area, while cooking us an exquisite dinner in the quiet part of the house. Great cocktails. Highly recommend. Only suggestion is regarding the music played during breakfast: ditch the intense violin rock covers for something more relaxing…like vintage jazz.

This hotel is an absolute gem. It's a beautiful historic building in a safe, quiet, genteel area, less than 10 minutes walk to centre. There's a nice pool that's relaxing to sit around and big enough to actually swim lengths, rather than just cool off.Our room (Old Quarters #2 - King Room) was on the first floor outside the main building. It was spacious, comfortable and very quiet. The bathroom was large and well equipped. Everything was spotless.We ate dinner at the hotel and it was excellent. The breakfast was also very nice, and included in the price. Room rates are extremely reasonable. Staff are friendly and professional.Highly recommended.Rooms: Large, well-equipped, comfortable and quiet.Safety: Very safe neighbourhood.

We absolutely loved it. Our rooms in the carriage house were so spacious and well-appointed. The breakfast was delicious and the house is practically a living museum. The owners are young, enthusiastic, and present onsite. Don't miss the macarons and other treats for sale, made by the owner!

Southern hospitality is served in a deep dish here.We were warmly greeted by Tammy at check in. The inn and grounds are perfectly maintained and we enjoyed wine on the terrace. Dinner was quite delicious and every staff person we encountered was friendly and professional. Our room was handsomely furnished, clean and a very comfortable bed.We enjoyed 2 days here.Food & drinks: The pork chop was exceptional

The Anchuca Historic Mansion and Inn is as beautiful as it is interesting. The interior decor is lovely and the guest rooms are grand. This is a really nice place to stay and the restaurant is first class. The owners are very friendly as are the entire staff. Historically, Confederate President Jefferson Davis gave one of his last farewell addresses from the balcony while his brother Joseph lived here.Rooms: Rooms are large and comfortableNearby activities: Near to historic downtownSafety: Great area, very safeWalkability: Area and downtown easily walkableFood & drinks: Wonderful restaurant on site with full barNoteworthy details: A lovely and historic property with very friendly hosts

After searching for a way to make a reservation and not finding a way to do so, we went to the restaurant only to be turned away. There were 3 of us and we were told the chef didn't have enough food for us. It was 7 PM on a rainy Monday night. There were several tables empty in full view. I am just surprised a business in today's marketplace feels confident in turning business away.

It was very nice of Sam to squeeze us in on our anniversary on 29 February. I really appreciate his effort. The food and atmosphere is excellent and i will surely return. The catfish and creole rice was excellent.

Many such Inns are in historic homes, but the history of this Inn and the authenticity is special. The rooms are very comfortable. Unsurprisingly, the electrical outlets are less than optimal, but the plumbing is fine. A decent authentic southern breakfast is included. A great stay.
Outstanding service. Our food was so delicious. Surf and Turf tenderloin was 10/10! Shrimp and grits was ! Intimate setting. Highly recommended.

My husband and I enjoyed our stay. The room in the carriage house was comfortable but I would suggest a higher toilet! Toilet is one for kindergarten students. The food was fabulous! Breakfast every morning was hot and delicious. Our steak on Saturday evening was perfect! The croissants were excellent and we tried to buy some but they were out! I wished they shipped! The best feature was the staff! They were very helpful and friendly! What a jewel of history! Thank you for a wonderful stay in Vicksburg!Food & drinks: I can’t stop thinking about the croissants!

The food quality and service is consistently high quality. My children specifically request Anchuca when they come home. We recommend them to anyone we know visiting Vicksburg.

This hotel is indeed lovely. The charm of the place and the rooms are worth a visit, but sadly not the service. We did not eat dinner in the restaurant and judging by the breakfast I am pretty glad we did not.After being instructed where to sit and where the coffee was located, that was the extent of our breakfast service experience and any form of communication with our server.5 mins later our server arrived with a bowl of cold breakfast items, none of which had been given as a choice. Cold egg scramble, on top of cold potatoes, on top of cold grits with a couple of rashers of (you guessed it) cold bacon. All surrounded by fruit (also cold, but that was ok!!). Our server never once came back to us or communicated in anyway.It is such a shame such a lovely place was marred by such a bad experience.

We stayed at Anchuca for a night during a recent driving trip and it was truly amazing. The mansion is not only beautiful, but historically significant. The restaurant was also outstanding! It was our first time in Vicksburg and we will definitely be back!
