Despite being located in one of Mississippi’s largest cities, you’ll feel as if you’re a million miles away when visiting, which likely has something to do with the towering pines and hardwoods that surround the resort.

The resort is made up of four small abodes – each of which is sure to make a BIG impression!

In addition to three tiny houses, The Southern Shindig, The Fais Do Do, and Hattie’s Hoedown, there’s The Flying Cloud, a vintage Airstream.

Even though all of the abodes are outfitted with the comforts of home and a private campfire area, they’re not exactly alike. Each boasts some sort of unique feature, which includes everything from a transparent garage door opening to an attached deck.

Regardless of which lodging option you choose, you’re sure to be surprised at how spacious it is (for a tiny house, that is). Speaking of space, all of the abodes sleep four comfortably, except for The Fais Do Do, which sleeps two.

This Upscale Restaurant In A Former Mississippi Hotel Offers An Unforgettable Dining Experience

Field’s Steak and Oyster Bar in Biloxi, formerly the Magnolia Hotel, offers upscale dining with a mix of hand-butchered steaks and fresh seafood.

Updated Jul 6, 2024

What’s old is new again…at the former Magnolia Hotel Biloxi! After being closed for quite some time, the historic hotel re-opened in spring 2022, but not as a hotel. It’s now an upscale Mississippi restaurant that dishes up spectacular steak, superb seafood, and eclectic specials. Come alone as we show you why we think it is one of the best unique places to dine in Mississippi!

In April 2022, the former Magnolia Hotel in Biloxi re-opened as Field’s Steak and Oyster Bar, adding a new chapter to the building’s long, colorful story.

And if you like seafood restaurants, you're in for a big treat!

Built in 1847, the Magnolia Hotel was one of several resort-style lodges on the Gulf Coast.

Today, it’s the only surviving antebellum hotel on the coast.

Of course, its age and history are no longer the most notable things about the building.

Since its transformation, it’s the upscale setting and fantastic fare that set it apart.

The owner is from the South but attended culinary school in New York.

As a result, the distinctive restaurant menu here features a unique mix that’s promised to “tantalize and please any palate.”

Steaks are front and center on the menu.

Each hunk of beef is hand-butchered and wet-aged, and among the best steaks in Mississippi.

Fresh seafood is also plentiful.

In addition to menu staples, there are weekly specials.

...the specials are made using locally sourced ingredients and a whole lot of creativity.

Whatever you order, it’s sure to pair well with a craft cocktail.
