Each room also features high ceilings and a front porch seating area with a beautiful view of the historic main house. Pets are welcomed in all carriage house rooms.

The Carriage House rooms are named to honor the Wilson daughters, who survived the ravages of the War and went on to have prosperous lives. Born on August 2, 1855, Kate married state senator Murray F. Smith on April 13, 1874. They built their home on a bluff overlooking the Mississippi River in 1876. Now called Belle of the Bends, the house was named after the Belle of the Bends steamboat, which was built in 1898. The mansion is located on Klein Street near Cedar Grove. Kate died on June 10, 1912.
