Perfect location, great place for the balloon race. The views from the balconies are totally awesome and breathtaking. I enjoy visiting this plantation.

We visited here and were really glad we did. The tour lasted around half an hour and was brought to life by the excellent tour guide. The rooms were amazing and it gives such an insight into the lives of the people who resided there. Everything is immaculate and you can be transported back in time with a little bit... More

All of the plantation homes in the area (we visited 3) highlight the wealth of the region when the southwestern part of Mississippi was first being settled and cotton was king. The original families have long dispersed to other parts of the US. This home is now run by the DAR.

Rosalie, a beautiful house on the bluff overlooking the Mississippi River. Only 2 or 3 families lived in the house so many things were from the house although most from the 2nd family in the Civil War period. DAR owns house. guide was very knowledgeable about the history of the house.

Natchez is an interesting town because of all the antebellum homes and mansions. We enjoyed Rosalie quite a bit because of its story. Although our guide was new to the job (we found out later) he gave an excellent talk and handled many questions about the home and the previous residents. We visited during low season during the week so... More

I'm not sure what impressed me more about this home: the furniture, the access to upstairs, downstairs and gardens... or the level of upkeep. The house conveys how it was like to live elegantly, without any electrical devices and entertain the same way. Tour takes less than 30 minutes, but this property sets the stage for any other mansion you... More

This historical home is overlooking the River right on the Bluff downtown. The home had a very interesting history and had lots of the original furniture. Price was only $10 and $5 for seniors. Our guide was very good, he covered all the history and also had a few humorous stories. Upstairs you could go out on the balcony and... More

Rosalie Mansion is a lovely home with an interesting history. Our tour guide gave a nice tour. Two unique features of Rosalie is its doll collection, and its gorgeous view of the Mississippi. It also has one of the better gift shops of the Natchez antebellum homes.
