There are three ways to be part of this story.
Choose the path that's yours — then everything below narrows to just that.
Buy stay credits
The Family Tree levels, for individuals and businesses. Every tier includes credits toward a future stay.
Buy a naming right
The Courtyard, The Outdoor Gathering Courtyard, and The Speakeasy; permanent naming opportunities inside the house.
Make a tax-deductible gift
Support the Legacy Hotel Institute's educational programs, administered through KINGS Leadership Institute, a 501(c)(3).
Every tier is a deeper place in the story.
A commercial pre-purchase, not a donation — stay credits never expire and can be gifted to someone else.
Come experience the House.
Every Legacy Light is recorded in The Guest House Registry with its own permanent Legacy Light number. Numbers are never reused and never removed.
Natchez Weekender includes $374 in stay credits, redeemable at the house.
- Hospitality credits are a commercial pre-purchase from Ellan Guest House, LLC, are not tax-deductible, and are subject to program terms.
- Family Tree recognition associated with a hospitality-credit purchase is a commercial benefit and not a charitable gift.
- Charitable contributions are made to KINGS Leadership Institute, Inc., a 501(c)(3) organization (EIN 87-1420800) and support the Guest House Youth Leadership Academy; deductibility is limited to the extent provided by law, net of the value of any benefits received, and KINGS will provide a written acknowledgment.
Consult your tax advisor.
Name a piece of the House.
Very limited. Three spaces, permanently named for the person, family, or organization that makes them possible. Not a donation — enquire directly, no self-checkout.
Our existing courtyard, reimagined as a year-round gathering place for dinners, storytelling, celebrations, and music. Heated in winter, misted in summer.
A separate, planned space: a new second courtyard and BBQ area, or a dedicated children's playground. The next chapter of the grounds, distinct from the existing Courtyard.
An intimate bar experience unlike anything else in Natchez — cocktails, late piano, founding recognition inside the room itself.
Naming-right purchases are commercial, not charitable. They are separate from any tax-deductible gift to the Leadership Academy. The Veranda and existing guest rooms are not available as naming opportunities at this time.
Fund the next generation.
Support the Legacy Hotel Institute's educational programs, administered through KINGS Leadership Institute, Inc., a 501(c)(3). This is the only one of the three paths that is a charitable donation.
