Accommodations for large group in Jackson, MS?
My in-laws have developed a scheme for all us to meet up in Jackson, Mississippi for the holidays this year. We've got a family in Atlanta, Ft. Worth, and Panama City Florida, and Jackson is about 6 hours from each, so no one has to drive too far.
The problem is, I'm having trouble finding accommodations for us! There will be 4 kids ranging from 7 years to 8 months, their parents and the grandparents. I was thinking of cabins or a retreat center, but haven't found anything promising. We can do a hotel of course, but I'm imagining us all hanging out in the lobby with our wild boys, and that doesn't sound very fun
I've looked on airbnb and vrbo and not much has popped up. Any ideas? Help!
Many thanks in advance!!

Get a hotel and rent an extra room for gathering. Lots of wedding folks do that.
You don't say your total numbers (sort of--didn't do the real math). A house for all would be nice, but maybe unusual in a place like that.

Gretchen - that is not a bad idea at all! I hadn't thought of that. There will be 10 of us total. 4 are little children. I'll have to run this idea by the fam today - thanks! Will also look into Vicksburg.

You might email the owner in case there's a cancellation.
There are several options if you want to go to the beach -

We have been to our SC beach at T'giving and the beach is the beach!! Of course no one would go in the water!! It is very unlikely it would be too cold to be outside and be comfortable--have been to Pensacola in NOvember. The beach in the southeast is WONDERFUL in fall. Try it--you'll like it.
I have been to the beach when it is FREEZING--it's still fun to look at!!

I grew up on the (upper) Gulf Coast.
Some Christmases we were outside in short sleeves. Other years we stayed inside by the fire with cups of cocoa (yes, we had a fireplace in the coastal South!).
Most years it's somewhere in between. But I went to the beach a few years ago on a visit home, and after not too long we were ready to get back in the car.
