Colleen Wilkins is an incredible person and host. We showed up on her, unannounced and unexpected this past Saturday. She stopped what she was doing and graciously gave us a tour of her beautiful home. It was the best experience. Colleen was brilliant as she shared the history of the house with us. She took her time and we enjoyed not only the history and beauty of the house but the compassion and generosity of Colleen. Her hospitality was unmatched after spending our first weekend in Natchez. We will be including Sunnyside in our next visit.

My Husband and I recently spent a delightful three days at Sunnyside Bed and Breakfast in historic Natchez MS. This lovely home provided a warm and welcomed expierance from the owner Ms. Colleen Whilkes . Her knowledge of Sunnyside as well as other homes restored on the National registry was all consuming. She was also an incredible cook, making us delightful foods for our breakfast. Our stay their was warm, and inviting. She is very accommodating making you feel as if you are in your own home. A wonderful experance ,providing a wealth of knowledge, and superb meals, this is Sunnyside B&B

My husband and I came here for our honeymoon and LOVED it! We were made to feel right at home. The owner, Colleen, was so warm and relaxed during our stay. She cooked amazing breakfasts for us each day, was knowledgeable about the homes history, gave good suggestions for things to do but also gave us our space and let us have the run of the beautiful antebellum home. She was generous with food and drink there. All the rooms - both the bedrooms and other rooms of the house- were exquisitely decorated. We spent hours going through each room and exploring all its treasures and history. We could have spent weeks looking at everything. The attention to detail was excellent and even more fun to stay there like it was our home. We could imagine what it was like to live in that era. We loved the vast number and variety of books to read and artwork to admire. The outside gardens were lovely. We absolutely adored Colleens two attractive and extremely well behaved dogs and her Siamese cat. All the animals were friendly and used to people. Since my husband and I have dogs and cats at home, we felt right at ease. That was a fun dimension of her B&B. We loved getting to know Colleen (she tells fascinating stories), her pets, the house, and its history. It was a very memorable trip and we definitely plan on coming back again. Colleen really made us feel like family. I dont think we could have planned a better honeymoon spot. I highly recommend it to anyone and everyone!! Its 100% worth it if youre looking for a memorable getaway! Rooms: Just gorgeous! Decorations were so lovely and it was so fun to stay overnight in a piece of history set aside in time like that. Theyre old so you cant expect a lot of modern amenities (although there was free wifi) but if you like antiques, history, comfort and beauty, these rooms offer a lot. Nearby activities: We were within a relatively short distance from the historic part of Natchez. We found great restaurants like The Camp and Magnolia Cafe under the hill. The Castle Restaurant was fancy and delicious. We enjoyed seeing and exploring around the river. St. Marys Basilica was breathtaking. Touring Longwood was fascinating. There was so much to do nearby- we had fun exploring! Safety: We were tucked away on a nice plot of land and felt so safe. The house would be locked up at the appropriate times but my husband and I didnt lock our bedroom door once. We just felt completely safe and knew the owner was respectful of our privacy. Food & drinks: Colleen made us delicious and large breakfasts each morning. Every day was something different and enjoyable. She was also generous with both her alcoholic and nonalcoholic beverages in the home. That was a nice touch. We appreciated her generosity there. Noteworthy details: Touring the home and examining all the details of it was so much fun in itself. Antiques, artwork, books to read, gardens, fascinating historical details really set this place apart from others.
