A Swimming (Pool) Lesson
Keep Cool Kid!
School is out, and summer is almost (officially) here! In climates like Mississippi’s, that calls for a swimming pool appreciation post. Sometime in the late 1970s, Anchuca’s former owner Mae Burns made the decision to add a swimming pool to the list of amenities our B&B guests can enjoy. We love the classically-shaped pool and statues on each corner representing the four seasons, which have added to Anchuca’s charm for four decades.





Today, our guests can continue to enjoy a relaxing swim or take a break to lounge by the pool during these long, summer days. Anchuca’s pool makes a great spot to enjoy the sunset and has also been the backdrop for a wedding proposal or two.(Even Ferdinand has been known to take advantage of the scenery for a cat nap.) We hope you enjoy this look back!




Also, this could be an appreciation post for the addition of Springfield house to the corner of Cherry and First East streets (see photo) but we’ll save that for another day. We love our Old Town neighborhood!


The Best of the Best
Anchuca voted Best B&B in Vicksburg…again!
As this Thanksgiving season approaches, we would like to take time to thank The Vicksburg Post and all those who voted Anchuca as the Best B&B in Vicksburg. We truly appreciate your support and thank you for helping preserve Anchuca. It’s an exciting time to experience the new Taste of Anchuca and meet Eric Richards, our new general manager and executive chef.
