The Father Ryan House Bed & Breakfast Inn

The Father Ryan House Bed & Breakfast Inn is on the National Historic Registry, located in Biloxi, Mississippi. Built circa 1841, it is one of the oldest remaining structures on the Gulf Coast and the one time home of Father Abram Ryan, Poet Laureate of the Confederacy.

It was here that Father Ryan wrote some of his best known poetry such as "Sea Rest" and "Sea Reverie". The house and the grounds have been painstakingly restored and furnished according to that period.

Location
The house is situated on the beautiful white sand beach of the Mississippi Gulf Coast. Guests may visit the nearby historic home of Jefferson Davis at Beauvoir, or Fort Massachusetts on Ship Island. Enjoy great fishing off our beautiful coastal islands, experience trolling on a working shrimp boat, visit the George Ohr and Walter Anderson museums, both minutes away, or golf on one of the Gulf Coast's 18 golf courses.

Accommodations
Each room and suite has its own unique character and charm. You may choose to enjoy the spectacular view from the Jefferson Room and pamper yourself with a whirlpool bath or relax in the stately elegance and romance of the Father Ryan Rooms which are furnished with exquisitely hand crafted beds and antiques dating back to the early 1800s. All accommodations include a full complimentary breakfast, a private bath, cable television and a beautiful view of the Gulf of Mexico, the gardens or the courtyard and pool.

Amenities
For a more reflective time, guests may prefer to swim in the pool, take a walk on the beach, stroll in the quiet landscaped grounds, or sit in the shade of the historic Father Ryan Palm and enjoy the Southern hospitality and peaceful ocean view that Father Ryan once enjoyed.

A full complimentary breakfast is served every morning. Room-service is also available.
