Luxury A-frame Retreat on Private Lake with Firepit! Family Gathering & Relaxing

The Natchez Retreat
Private Lakeside A-Frame on Southwood Lake
Welcome to your private lakeside escape in Natchez, Mississippi.

Perched on a ridge overlooking beautiful Southwood Lake, this cozy A-frame cabin sits on a ±30-acre stocked private lake known for its history of trophy bass. Whether you're here to fish, hike, watch wildlife, or simply unwind in total peace — this is the place to do it.

Just 15–20 minutes from historic downtown Natchez, you get the best of both worlds: privacy in nature with easy access to town.

The Experience
Stunning lake views from the back deck
Incredible sunsets over the water
Wildlife sightings daily (ducks, birds, turtles, and more)
Peaceful, private setting
Starlink high-speed internet
Heated & cooled with mini-split system for year-round comfort

The drive in along Turkey Creek Road is part of the magic — rolling hills, wooded scenery, and even the possibility of seeing elk and exotic wildlife beyond the high fence.

You’ll know you’ve arrived somewhere special.

Sleeping Arrangements
Loft (Upstairs)
King bed
Futon for kids or extra guests

Downstairs Bedroom
Bunk (Twin on top / Full on bottom)

Additional sleeping options:
Spacious living room seating for relaxing or additional sleeping arrangements

Amenities
Full bathroom with washer & dryer
Open living room with panoramic lake views
Private access to the lake and old island
Plenty of parking

Fishing & Lake Information (Important)
Southwood Lake is a private, members-only lake built in the late 1970s and known for:

Trophy bass
White perch
Bream
Catfish

Our guests are allowed to fish from the bank during their stay — but lake rules must be followed.

Lake Rules:
CATCH & RELEASE ALL BASS (strictly enforced)
Catfish, perch, and bream may be kept
No fishing license required (private lake)
Watch children closely — the lake is large and very deep
If you catch a trophy bass:
Measure it. Weigh it. Have a replica made. Then release it so it can continue to grow.
Fishing access is a privilege we protect carefully so future guests can enjoy it too.

Getting Here
4-wheel drive is not required but recommended
The driveway is steep — 4WD makes departure easier
Most cars, trucks, and SUVs with standard ground clearance are fine
Turkey Creek Road is hilly and scenic

Why You’ll Love It
This isn’t just a cabin.

It’s:
Morning coffee overlooking still water
Quiet evenings watching the sunset
Wildlife right outside your door
A true nature reset
Private. Peaceful. Unplugged — but still connected if you need it.

Our pricing includes all fees. No hidden surprises.

We respect guest privacy but are available if needed.

Come relax. Cast a line. Watch the sunset.
The lake is waiting.

This is an awesome rustic retreat tucked off of the beaten path. The cabin is private with no neighbors close by. Its on a shared lake that is well maintained and full of visible brush piles. The fishing was amazing. The cabin was well stocked and clean. The host was great and helped me out of a sticky situation. Totally my fault... Will definitely stay there again.

The Stay That Didn’t Happen!

Since we didn’t actually “stay” I can’t give an accurate review, but you can’t change Mother Nature! Due to a storm the morning of our arrival, there was no power until the following day. Chris was ver responsive and helped as much as he could. Unfortunately, by the time power was restored we were already almost back home.

We loved how secluded and quiet it was. Except for the frogs and crickets choir that serenaded us every evening, which was wonderful! Cool air conditioning, comfy beds, extra pillows--all wonderful! We enjoyed our stay immensely. Definitely 5 stars!
