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

The Natchez Retreat
**NEWLY ADDED WHOLE HOME GENERATOR** 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

You’ll know you’ve arrived somewhere special.

Southwood Lake is a private, members-only lake built in the late 1970s and known for:

Trophy bass
White perch

Our guests are allowed to fish from the bank during their stay — but lake rules must be followed. Feel free to bring your kayaks to fish or just enjoy our lake!

Waterfront Safety Notice: The Natchez Retreat features a private fishing pier and lake access for guest enjoyment. By using the pier, lake, or surrounding waterfront areas, guests acknowledge and accept all associated risks. Guests assume full responsibility for their own safety and the safety of all members of their party. Children must be supervised at all times. The property owner is not liable for accidents, injuries, or loss of personal property occurring in connection with use of the pier, lake, or waterfront areas.

No diving, swimming, or jumping from the pier. Use of the pier is at your own risk. Children must be accompanied by an adult at all times near the water.

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.

The cabin sits in a wooded natural setting, which is one of the things that makes this place so peaceful and unique. While staying here, you are surrounded by nature.
Depending on the season, it is common to see wildlife such as deer, raccoons, squirrels, birds, frogs, & turtles. Because we are located near woods and water, you may also occasionally see snakes, spiders, beetles, mosquitoes, moths or other insects attracted to light.
This is completely normal for cabins in wooded or rural environments.
We maintain regular pest control, but nature sometimes still finds its way inside.

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