The Corners Bed & Breakfast: Guest Testimonials

"The majestic old mansion and gardens, which sit grandly atop the bluffs overlooking the Mississippi, have been expertly restored"
Southern Living magazine, March 2002, "The Best Corner of Vicksburg"

Chosen by ,
"The Corners is the Best B and B in the World
Well-known travel writer Herb Phillips, Los Angeles Times

"We considered and contacted several other B & B's before deciding on the Corners. We drove by at least two others and fell in love with the Corners. The setting itself just suited us for its casual but beautiful landscaping--more natural beauty rather than totally manicured and over groomed."

The furnishings of the house were way beyond our expectations and my wife is a docent in a famous historical home that specializes in decorative arts. Macy and Joe the owners were helpful and did a remarkable job of making us feel like close and valued family members. The morning history tour after a great breakfast was one of the most informative I've ever experienced. Macy KNOWS the history of this house. She has done extensive research using a wide variety of resources, including interviews with "old timers".

"Our breakfast was one of my personal favorites, egg benedict. It was accompanied by a fruit dish, overall a quite healthy breakfast and just the right amount. We'll stay at the Corners again the next time we're in Vicksburg ."

"Thank you so much for a wonderful experience. Your kindness and hospitality was beyond words."
Jim and Kenna Simpson

"Been meaning to email and tell you what a nice time we had at your place. It was a delightful weekend."
The Kincaids from Monroe, La.

"Thanks again for your hospitality. I didn't realize what a nice place Vicksburg is..."
Polly

"I was thinking ... a week ago I was enjoying your hospitality. Thank you very much! We had a great time."

Macy, We just returned from our vacation and I wanted to drop you a note to thank you for making our trip memorable. We enjoyed the Corners and our host and hostess very much. Much Luck for the future!

I will be back with another group and look forward to sitting on your porch with a pizza and a bottle of wine again (and listening to blues music). God I loved it over there so much I could live there.

Sorry to read about the passing of Ms Bettye Whitney. My husband and I met her a few years ago. We stayed at "The Corners" as part of an anniversary trip to Vicksburg. Ms Bettye was quite an elegant lady and charming host; we will never forget her, nor our stay at “The Corners.” We love Vicksburg.. and it's history!! We have been several times and we have also been bring our three children "to walk through history" since they were just babies. I believe my oldest (now 13) was only 15-16 months old when we brought him the first time through the military park and my now 12 year old was a baby!! When my daughter (now almost 10) was about 2 or 3, we carried them for a two-day trip through the park. They enjoyed "re-enacting" the battles with the tour tape and of chorse I took lots of photos!! We have since carried them again! but Al and I haven't had another opportunity to come by ourselves since 2002 and hope to make it this time! I am a free-lance journalist and the last time we came a wrote several stories on Vicksburg and did a special feature on "The Corners" for The Mississippi Press, a daily newspaper out of Pascagoula (Jackson County). It filled up the entire Features Section that Sunday!

I'm truly sorry to hear of Mrs. Whitney's passing. My family had reserved The Corners B&B the weekend that Katrina hit. We were coming in from all over the country and had to cancel due to the unavailability of gas to get us there and no power at The Corners. My husband and I along with his parents had the pleasure of staying for a weekend to make arrangements while Mrs. Whitney was still getting around really well. She was a lovely lady with many funny stories that she shared with us over breakfast. We're going to get the reunion plans up and going again. I was checking the site to make sure you were still open. We look forward to making the arrangements with you again soon. We¢re looking at something in the spring of 2009 before it gets too hot.
