"Wonderful Southern hospitality"
We had a lovely one-night stay at Bisland House -- it is a really beautiful house and the hosts, Christine and Byron, delightful. They made us feel very welcome and ensured that we had local maps and all the information we needed regarding restaurants, places to visit, things to do, etc. Afternoon tea was delicious and breakfast the next morning even more so. All the dishes on offer were freshly prepared and cooked and we ate far too much! Our bedroom was beautifully furnished, the bed very comfortable and the sheets amazingly soft. We loved Natchez and its beautiful homes and would have loved to have stayed a little longer and had the time to sit for a while on Christine's upstairs balcony sipping our wine!

This unusual salmon recipe comes from Cedar Grove Mansion Inn in Vicksburg, Mississippi. This 33-room country inn is located on five garden-filled acres and overlooks the Mississippi River. The rooms are spread amongst five historic buildings. Dine in the antebellum bed and breakfast's romantic restaurant or try a mint julep at the inn's bar.
