Mississippi Bed and Breakfasts
The State of Mississippi is located in the southern United States and is considered to be a part of the ‘deep south’. Mississippi takes its name from the Mississippi river which flows along the western boundary of the state. The name for Mississippi means ‘great river’ and comes from either the Ojibwe or the Algonquian language. Mississippi is a beautiful state and is known as the “Hospitality State” and there are many bed and breakfast inns throughout the state that you can take advantage of. Staying at a bed and breakfast makes sense—it’s usually much cheaper than a hotel room and is more like being at home while you are enjoying the sites of Mississippi. A bed and breakfast is also known as a B&B and is a type of boarding house that usually operates out of a large, single-family residence. The guests at Mississippi bed and breakfast accommodations stay the night in a private bedroom and are also fed breakfast in the morning. Typically, breakfast is served in the dining room or the kitchen, however some bed and breakfasts serve breakfast right to the rooms. The bathrooms in bed and breakfast inns are either shared with other guests or the family who lives in the home or are private or en-suite to each of the bedrooms.The advantage of a Mississippi bed & breakfast is that you get to know the host and they will share their knowledge of the area with you—sort of like having a built in tour guide right in your accommodations.Planning to stay in a Mississippi bed and breakfast is a wonderful idea, however you will want to make reservations well ahead of time. Most Mississippi bed and breakfast accommodations only hold two to 12 people at any given time.The arrangements of Mississippi bed and breakfast accommodations are really as old as time—before the 20th century, it was common for country travelers to stay at a private home rather than at an inn. Many of the Mississippi bed and breakfast inns have sought out the earlier days, where they are located in older homes that are renovated and often filled with antique furniture.The State of Mississippi is bordered on the north by the State of Tennessee, on the east side by the State of Alabama, to the south by the State of Louisiana and the Gulf of Mexico, and to the west by the States of Louisiana and Arkansas, which is across the Mississippi river. The Mississippi River is the largest and most prominent river in the state, however there is also the Big Black River, the Pearl River, the Yazoo River, the Pascagoula River and the Tombigbee River. Throughout Mississippi there are also four major lakes: the Ross Barnett Reservoir, Arkabutla Lake, Sardis Lake and Grenada Lake. There are plenty of Mississippi bed and breakfast inns located near these bodies of water, which make a beautiful backdrop and provide a scenic view to the area.
