This was probably the most well equipped vacation rental we ever stayed at. The loft is beautiful and exceeded our expectations. We loved the view from the rooftop. Communication with the owner was excellent.We’ll definitely stay here again, if we’re in the area. J and J
The loft over the HC Porter Gallery was everything the listing said it would be. Spacious, great outdoor space and everything we needed for a great vacation. The staff were wonderful. Chris and her team at the gallery were so friendly and gave us lots of ideas to make our vacation the best it could be. 5 star
We absolutely loved our stay at Chris’s loft. It was very peaceful, comfortable and clean. A very unique place to stay and within walking distance to alit of restaurants and museums.
Chris is the best host ever! Location is close to everything, parking easy, loft immaculate and spacious.
Key City Brewery has Delicious pizza and good beer. Would stay here again.
Our family of 4 has been staying in this loft every time we’ve visited Vicksburg the last 8 years. The space is magnificent, the art is stunning and there’s so much SPACE! Chris is super responsive and we’ve never had a single issue.You will not regret staying in this loft (in the heart of downtown and walking distance to great shops and restaurants).
Great place for a quiet get away. Chris was easy to communicate with and always available. Lots of places close by to eat and hang out. You almost never have to get in your vehicle till its time to head home!

Very nice set up above an art gallery. Host is very friendly and accommodating. Plenty of room with a nice rooftop deck and view of the river. Would stay again.
Great communication and customer service. The loft was exactly the way it looks in the pictures. Very clean. Great art work in every room. The roof top view is an ideal way to watch the sun set and relax. The location is perfect and central to restaurant's, coffee shops, and boutiques. We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay again!
Loved the accommodations. Chris the owner very laid back and flexible for your schedule. We checked in early and checked out late. Property was spacious and georgeous with plentiful amenities. Great location downtown for shopping and restaurants. Would definitely recommend.
We very much enjoyed our stay in this lovely and comfortable loft. Located near many restaurants and shops, it also has a great view from the roof deck. Our host was responsive to our questions. We would definitely stay here again.
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay in the loft above H.C. Porter gallery. Chris's attention to detail in fixtures and furnishings, visual art, her music collection & kitchen essentials, as well as the rooftop river views, easy parking & proximity to Lorelei Books, Highway 61 Coffee House, The Attic Gallery, The Strand Theatre, and H.C. Porter Gallery made our long weekend visit restful and fun. The elevator access and bathroom remodel are a huge plus! Everyone we met was friendly and welcoming. Saturday's Fostoria Neighborhood Porchfest had awesome musicians, artists and food. This was the perfect fall weekend getaway! We highly recommend a stay in this home.
We had an amazing time at this beautiful property! Chris was such a wonderful host and nothing could’ve been better. I highly recommend this property! Being downtown made it so convenient.
We truly enjoyed our beautiful downtown loft stay. The loft has everything you want or need. We were able to walk to eat dinner every night, enjoy the park within walking distance, and even enjoy the beautiful murals.
Couldn’t be happier with our stay at the gallery loft in downtown Vicksburg! From our gracious host Chis walking us through the ample amenities this spacious place has to offer to the absolute perfect location to some of the best restaurants and attractions Vicksburg has to offer. We absolutely would love to return in the near future!

About the host
Hosted by H.C. "Chris" Porter
I'm a native Mississippian and a professional artist. I started my studio in 1987 in Jackson and after 20 years moved to Vicksburg. I was drawn by the historic building and the river views! My artwork reflects my love of Mississippi and its rich cultural and blues heritage.
Why they chose this property
My contemporary southern loft is above my signature art gallery in historic downtown Vicksburg on the main street, Washington St. Washington St. is also the Blues Highway, Highway 61,which runs from Memphis to New Orleans. I have found Vicksburg to be a welcoming, artsy, historic and charming town. I have found my home here, but I travel often and am able to share my loft/home while I am away.
What makes this property unique
I've been told Mississippi is the last mysterious state in the Union! Vicksburg is a wonderful place to explore Mississippi's unique and historic past. My loft is 3 minutes from the National Military Civil War Park, one block above our riverfront murals, three blocks from the Court House Museum and two blocks from our Mississippi River Museum. The award winning, local shopping, dining and sightseeing is all surrounding my loft. Newly opened, the only rooftop dining/bar in Mississippi is located across the street, 10 South, with it's tenth story view of the River and downtown Vicksburg (just in case my three story private roof terrace isn't enough!) I have created an artist's dream home and it is my pleasure to share it with you!
