Three-story "raised French cottage" with 6 fireplaces, 64-foot porch, and antiques. Amid 11-acres of live oaks and magnolias, near beaches.

Bed and Breakfast Description

This circa 1899, three-story, raised French cottage is built of brick and cypress, and situated on eleven acres of ancient live oaks and fragrant magnolias. Six fireplaces, usable antiques, and a 64-foot porch with swings aid relaxation. A 125' sidewalk extends from the front of the inn to "Friendship, Too," a magnificent live oak that's registered with the Live Oak Society.

Open since 1986, Red Creek Inn was the Mississippi Gulf Coast's first bed and breakfast. It has been featured in The Jackson Daily Journal, Inn Times, Men's Journal and The Bridal Directory, and on WLOX-TV 13 and Mississippi ETV's Southern Expressions.
On the Spring Pilgrimage, too!
