Revisit the South of yesteryear with a stay at the Featherston-Magruder House. A historic home turned Airbnb, it offers guests the opportunity to travel back in time – all while enjoying the modern-day amenities we’ve all grown accustomed to.
A gorgeous antebellum home, the Featherston-Magruder House is nestled in the heart of historic Vicksburg.
Hard to miss, it’s a huge mansion situated high on a bluff that overlooks the Mississippi River Valley.
Plus, there’s a historical marker, indicating its importance.
Built in 1831 and filled with antique furnishings, it’s brimming with historic charm, treating guests to a unique peek into the past.
Not everything about the home is old-fashioned, though.
In 2013, the property was updated, so it’s got all the bells and whistles you’d expect to find in a luxurious mansion.
It’s also got plenty of space. Able to accommodate up to eight guests, the sprawling estate has 3.5 baths and four bedrooms.
And thanks to a private pool, the home’s exterior is just as amazing as the interior.
At just over $900 a night, the home’s price tag might seem pretty hefty. However, if you gather a group and split the cost, it’s no more than a typical Airbnb.
Not interested in vacationing with a group? No problem. The property’s pool house has also been transformed into an Airbnb and can be rented for just $200 a night.
In addition to a lengthy history and amazing amenities, the Featherston-Magruder House has something else going for it – its location!
The city’s best sites are all nearby, including the Vicksburg National Military Park and the Old Warren County Jail, which dates back to 1906 and was used to house POWs from the Civil War.
