Ross Mansion Bed & Breakfast

A wonderful escape from the ordinary Our stay at the Ross Mansion in Hattiesburg was absolutely delightful and a wonderful escape from the ordinary. The entire essence of the place was warm and welcoming. Our hosts Jerry and Jenny could not have been more gracious as they shared the history of the old mansion; it's definitely a labor of love for both of them. Each room brought its own Southern charm from days gone by, like a hug from grandma. It was dripping with fine artwork, collectibles, and an amazing library of historical books. The sitting room that faced the front of the house was most intriguing with its shelves from floor to ceiling filled with vintage ladies' hats. There was another sitting room on the second floor that overlooked the back yard and was brimming with plants and birdcages adorned with miniatures and offered self-serve coffees, teas, and hot chocolates, a most peaceful place to start your mornings. The breakfast continued the elegance of the home with delicious food and a beautiful presentation. Amenities could not have been better, and it was in walking distance of some wonderful restaurants as well as a most unique artform in an alley between two buildings called The Pocket Museum, a must-see if you are in the area. Beautiful accommodations, delicious food, personal service, and a look into the past, you can't get that at the Holiday Inn. We hope to revisit soon.

The owners of this Bed & Breakfast go above and beyond to make you feel at home and comfortable, the breakfast each day was different and amazing. The mansion itself is decorated so beautiful with an array of antiques I have never seen in the past. I would recommend staying here to anyone that appreciates hospitality, great food and history.

What wonderful hosts and interesting and friendly fellow travelers. Our room was comfortable, inviting, with very safe step over shower and soothing shower stream. The breakfast was amazing with fruit parfaits, eggs cooked to perfection, scrumptious meats, breads, coffee and juices. The hosts let me play some great American song book standards on the baby grand and I spent an hour or so playing for guests the next morning. It gave me great joy to play some jazz for folks who like songs with a melody and poetry for words. Worth the trip to Hattiesburg.

We were more than pleasantly surprised, Ross Mansion was superb! The location along a lovely street and its drive-up appeal offers a hint of what is in store. The inside is filled with period furniture and our "chamber" was wonderful. All the amenities one could ask for and a outrageously comfortable bed. Gerry met us at the door and provided all the information about the workings of the B&B personally. We also met Jenny that evening and at breakfast. Gerry offered several options for dinner all of which were located a 10 minute walk away in downtown Hattiesburg. The short stroll on a lovely evening was just the thing after a long day in the car! Breakfast was multi-course and delicious.

Loved it, unique and charming Unique and incredibly charming. Host Gerry and Jenny were so very accommodating, we didn't want to leave. The house is a veritable antique museum and each room has its own special charm and design. The bedroom was cozy and warm. Not much space to lay out, nor any TV, which was perfectly fine with us. There are sitting rooms upstairs and downstairs, and in many respects we felt like we were visiting a museum of the past. Great choice if you're looking for something different and special.

The house was so nice. Our room was great. Jen and Gerry were gracious host, provided a great lodging experience, and rare old school pleasant friendly smiling from the heart B and B service.
