The Fairview is a luxury bed and breakfast in the Belhaven area, near downtown Jackson, Mississippi. The facility is a sprawling mansion with about a eighteen suites. The rooms are well appointed, individually decorated, and very reasonably priced. The common areas include an outside deck space and a large library that is a perfect retreat before or after dinner. The Fairview was, until recently, operated by a gentlemen who grew up in the mansion. Over the last eight years I have stayed in the Fairview on about ten occasions, and I have always enjoyed my stay very much. This most recent (July 2007) visit was my first after a change in ownership. The new owners have not only maintained the high standards of the original owner, they have improved the Fairview in several ways. The new owners have installed a first class restaurant that serves absolutely delicious food in a well appointed room off the west side of the main reception area. The food was superior to any other place I have dined in Jackson. The staff is friendly, competent, and eager to serve the Fairview guests. The Fairview has a very user-friendly web site that allows you to look at each suite and book directly on line. The included full breakfast is served from 8:00 until 10:00 in a separate dining area that is also well appointed and comfortable. There is an open kitchen with an easy to operate single-cup coffee/tea maker and an assortment of coffees and teas open day and night for the guests. Off-street parking is easily accessible. The room rates are very, very reasonable considering the quality of the accommodations and the amenities the Fairview provides its guests. I give the Fairview Inn the highest possible recommendation.

I love the Fairview Inn - beautiful rooms, nice staff, good food. My one and only complaint is the horrible bright white lights they have surrounding the outside of the house which are left on ALL NIGHT LONG. The two different rooms that I've stayed in on different occasions were outfitted with shutters on all the windows which let in quite a lot of light. It looked like daylight in my room at 3:00 in the morning. It was very difficult to sleep. Also seems like a waste of energy.

I hope the owners see this and consider turning the lights off after 10:00 pm (or something like that). Otherwise it's a lovely place.

This is by far the nicest place to stay in Jackson. The breakfast is so good- give yourself time to enjoy it.

The rooms are large, clean, charming and full of little details. The owners are so nice.

I really wouldn't recommend staying anywhere else in Jackson (and I should know, I grew up there), except for possibly the Hilton Garden Inn in Madison, if you are going to be in the North Jackson area instead. However, the Fairview Inn is likely to cost around the same as the HIlton in Madison, with a lot more charm.

Belhaven is a beautiful area to walk / jog/ admire homes in as well.

My wife and I recently stayed here while on a business trip. We enjoyed the English Suite immensely, very spacious, large bathroom with jacuzzi tub and seperate shower and plenty of room and lighting for makeup. Nice desk area and seperate reading area with fireplace and good for business travel. The staff were very accomodating, friendly. Felt like I was both in a luxury boutique hotel but also at home. The free passes to nearby health club was added benefit.

Would definately recommend for business or leisure stay in downtown Jackson!

The taxi drove up into the semi-circular driveway and the whole place was lit with Christmas lights. The door opened into the foyer, which was beautifully decorated in deep reds for the season. The whole place had an old southern feel. It was breathtakingly romantic. We were checked in right in the foyer as a front desk area typical to hotels did not exist. The owner of the establishment escorted us to the beautiful French Suite, complete with jacuzzi tub and fireplace. The room was large and beautifully decorated in French Country style. The bed was comfortable and large. The tub was HUGE and the bidet was a treat. Breakfast was palatable with a very good quiche. The staff was pleasant, slightly above average. It had the comfortable feel as if you were staying in someone's home. My husband and I had a fabulous time.
