My husband I visited Elgin Plantation this weekend and were in awe of it's beauty. Our host, Mrs. Ruth Ellen Calhoun was a delight and a most gracious southern lady. Lizzie was also wonderful and prepared the BEST southern style breakfast!!!
I rose early each morning to walk around the grounds and I could close my eyes and almost hear the sounds of horses hooves, carriage wheels, children playing and southen gentlemen and ladies talking as I walked along. It was taking a trip back in time. If you visit Natchez, be sure and stay at Elgin. Also, be sure and eat at The Carriage House. It is on the grounds of Stanton Hall in the city of Natchez and is a wonderful place to dine. The service is great and the food was some of the best we have ever had.
I give Elgin 5 stars!!! I give The Carriage house the same!!! Lee Ann Helms, Mississippi

We had the best weekend at Elgin Plantation. Mrs. Calhoun is wonderful hostess. She gave wonderful tips for sightseeing in Natchez. We had a full southern breakfast prepared by Lizzie. Lizzie was a delight to talk with. Elgin is a very peaceful and beautiful plantation. We plan to come back!

My Mother and I went to Natchez for a mini-vacation and stayed at Elgin Plantation. Ms. Ruth Ellen Calhoun is the epitomy of a Southern Lady. Being from the south ourselves, it's nice to see that tradition is not totally gone. She was so very gracious and made us feel completely at home. She was also very helpful with local tourism sites, where to eat and what to see. It's only a 5-10 min drive from downtown Natchez, but just the sort of place that feels like quiet country living and a true blessing to come home to. We will definitely be back to stay at Elgin again.

I have visited Natchez on numerous occasions and the one place we always stay is Elgin Plantation. The B&B with the beautiful gardens,the wealth of history in the many journals of the previous owner available to read at your leisure and the numerous stories of the history of Natchez as told by the gracious host/owner Ruth Calhoun. Althought tis would be enough to make you want to return,Ourbmain reason is the gracious host Ruth Calhoun and housekeeper/friend Lizzie, they are what make this place one to visit and stay awhile. Their gracious southern hospitality and the way they make you feel when you return for visits, like an ole friend coming back for a visit with family friends.
