What guests think

Steele Cottage offers a quiet, historic stay with comfortable, period-furnished rooms in a walkable neighborhood, and most guests especially praise the included breakfast at nearby Duff Green Mansion and the engaging house tour that follows.

Staff and owners are frequently described as friendly, communicative, and welcoming. However, a few guests noted check-in delays and that at least one room has a bathroom across the hall with a clawfoot tub rather than an en-suite. Cleanliness is generally good, though one review cited a deep clean need and another a towel shortfall, and the several-block walk to breakfast suited most but felt too far for one guest. Expect a charming, low-key historic experience with standout breakfasts and a calm setting.

Steele Cottage was a charming, well kept, and very clean place to stay. We rented MaeMae's room and liked how it was apart from the other rooms. We also enjoyed having breakfast at the Duff Green Mansion along with touring this home. This was included in the price. We would highly recommend staying here.

Surprised no one there to greet us, Doorbell said some come soon. Hot, so finally went to shade in back & called so at least 20 min in hot weather before we could check in. Rented thru hotels.com so surprised not private bath but worked out since only ones renting, Breakfast/tour at Duff Green home excellent, Place was excellent except for welcome challenging & no private bath. Suggest marking all 3 keys for place so know bath, bedroom, front door apart. We enjoyed our stay, a highlight with added Duff Green house breakfast/tour.

We stayed in Mae-Mae's Room at the Steele Cottage and it was great for our needs. Well appointed, conveniently located and easily accessible, yet removed from the core downtown area for privacy. The breakfast service at the Duff Green Mansion B&B was good for a first morning, but the 3+ block walk is not directly toward the main part of downtown and the river. I suggest equipping the Steele Cottage with bottled waters and snack items in each room for optimal convenience.

We had a delightful stay! We were headed to Jackson but I couldnt find a place there worth booking. So, at the last minute, I found the Steele Cottage. As we had booked late, we had to call to get check-in details. Very easy. Our room, the JM Swords, was nice with a queen sized bed that was high off the floor. Glad they had a step to help get me up there. Our bathroom was across the hall. I was not used to using a clawfoot tub with a sprayer, but it worked out well. If this type of bathing is not for you, I suggest pucking one of the rooms with a shower. The meeting room was great, stocked with beverages and a good amount of seating. The best part was the breakfast at the Duff Green mansion. It was a three-course breakfast served around a big table with the other guests. We had an entertaining breakfast getting to know the guests, followed by a house tour. The ladies that work at these two places are outstanding! They go above and beyond to make your stay pleasant. I highly recommend this place. But, if you are willing to spend a little more, check out the Duff Mansion.

The breakfast, staff, and tour of the Duff Green Mansion were the highlights. Short walk (5-7 minutes) from Steele Cottage to Duff Green for the breakfast and tour. The staff at Duff Green Mansion are what really made this a trip to remember. Tonya gave us a tour of the mansion after a great breakfast and good company with other guest at the table, and she was excellent and could have spent most of the day just talking with her and the rest of the touring group. And it was nice to meet her son, who showed us his favorite picture in the home during the tour. Walnut Hills is directly across the street and was nice for dinner (recommend the fried chicken). Only real complaint was the cleaning crew did not leave enough towels.

If you’re wondering what it’s like to stay in a house almost 200 years old, this is the perfect solution. The property is decorated in period furniture and really gives you a sense of another period in history. Location is ideal for visiting Vicksburg sites as well. The breakfasts at Duff Green were awesome also.

What a welcome sight after a long drive! Steele’s Cottage is situated on the heights above Vicksburg’s riverfront and the Mississippi River, in a quiet leafy setting. The cottage is an attractive classic, as was our comfortable room - Mrs. Steele’s Bedroom. We’ll long remember our good night’s sleep, tasty dinner at Rusty’s Riverside Grill, and pleasant breakfast in the elegant Duff Green Mansion. A highly recommended experience!

Set in a quiet historic neighborhood that many find walkable to downtown and restaurants. Breakfast is at Duff Green Mansion several blocks away (about a 5–7 minute walk), which most found reasonable though one guest felt it was too far.
