Convenient location with fully updated inside
The house was only 30 minutes from the Mississippi State football game we were in town for and offered a lot of space for a reasonable price. We appreciated the comfortable, clean, updated furnishings, kitchen, and bathrooms. We would love to return here again in the future!

Great property
The place was very clean and we had plenty of room. We loved staying here. Just a few suggestions… 1. Night lights for the bathrooms 2. Luggage rack in the bedrooms 3. Add a on at dusk, off at dawn front porch light for guests arriving at night. It is a great place and we had a lot of fun!

Short getaway
The updated renovations and modern decor made this place feel like a home away from home. Our group enjoyed the firm but supportive mattresses, the pillows and the extra soft and cozy blankets. The host supplied plenty of blankets, linens, towels and extra toiletries which was a great added bonus. The property is peaceful and secluded but a quick, easy drive to Columbus. We would definitely stay again.

This location was very beautiful. The inside is very nice and clean. Plenty of space for everyone that stayed. The lake is a calm peaceful place to sit by and relax. And there was a lot of outdoor space to play sports outside. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Thanks to the host for being very responsive and generous.

Fantastic
Such a beautiful home! The inside is so inviting and comfortable. We enjoyed sitting around the dining table and talking for hours. The living room was perfect for us to gather and enjoy each other's company as well. It was just like being at home. Beds were super comfy also. Property is a quiet and relaxing country setting, but very convenient to Highway 82 and 30 minutes to Starkville which was perfect for us to travel to the Egg Bowl. We will definitely be staying again.

Country But Close
The property is located somewhat close to town but is out in a quiet location. The home has a beachy look just as others have described. The inside was very clean and amenities were abundant. We will probably book again, as we have family in the area.

We thoroughly enjoyed our weekend here. It’s a beautiful home and very well cared for. The location was nice and quiet and it felt like we were out in the country. Clean, pretty, and had all the necessities. Our map didn’t take us all the way to the driveway and we passed it initially, but the driving directions included made it very easy to find.

Great Stay!
My family and I were very thankful for this house being available. We went to Mississippi to visit my wife's uncle who was in bad health. This house was only nine miles from her family. It was in a great location. Not far from anything shopping, food, fun. The house was very clean and felt like home, unlike at a hotel.
