This particular suite, the Captain's Suite, is named after the gentleman in the oil portrait over the fireplace. He was likely a local riverboat captain bringing folks out to the "wild west" as Mississippi was known in the early 19th century. The room is at the southwest corner of the house upstairs and has lovely views of the front and side yards, as well as great natural light. It is located just off the upstairs lounge and nearby both the front and back porches. The circa 1840 Empire bed in this room is an Olympic Queen size, which is a bit bigger than a modern-day queen (similar sizing to a California King). This large non-smoking 420 square foot wonderful suite sleeps 2 with an ensuite, a sitting area, a writing desk, a ceiling fan, television and free wifi. Complimentary bottled water is provided along with a southern breakfast and an historical tour. A rollaway cot may be added for an additional $25 per cot per night.
