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!

Perfect for a family getaway!

The house was just as pictured. Very clean, very comfortable, and very private! The small children LOVED the tire swing. The lake was very easy to get in with the kayak, and the banks were clear for fishing. Perfect weekend getaway for our big family!

Outstanding family visit together

We are from Ohio and our children and Grandchildren from Colorado stayed with us at This wonderful Alabama VRBO. We were all there for our Grandson's graduation from High School. The VRBO was located just 14 miles from our Mississippi family's home and the graduation. Our children loved the wonderful home and large pond. Several fish were caught and released. We appreciated the opportunity to relax and rest between graduation activities in such a wonderful home out in nature. Perfect!

Country Roads Take Me Home!!!

We absolutely LOVED this property!!!! So much property to walk around on. Very comfy, cozy. The kitchen is quite roomy!!! My only suggestion to the owner would be to make it known in the listing that the property is shared by their Family. Not that they interfered with us or anything like that, I just think with how close the homes are, it should be known up front. We envisioned a home on a ton of property in the middle of nowhere and we didn't find out about the property being shared until after we booked it. The family has dogs and they have full run of the entire compound so we would get a visitor during the day and night with Cooper. My kids loved Cooper, they miss him already. My youngest daughter said having the dogs around made them less scared of "whatever could be in the woods." My only "complaints" would be the property is too dark at night. The front lights weren't working so going out the front door at night required a flashlight. And there should probably be more than 1 tv in the house. It was absolutely FREEZING for a couple of days while we were here and we were stuck inside for longer than we'd liked. So having just 1 tv and 6 guests it was a struggle for a compromise. Either way, our son is stationed at Columbus AFB and this is the only property that we'll be staying at. I can't compliment the property enough. We used the kayak. Walked the property. Made a couple fires. But best of all we created lifetime, lasting memories. And we can't wait to make more.

This was a short trip with family. It’s half way between us and 1 of our daughters. It was a good little get away. The weather didn’t cooperate much, but we did enjoy our time. I definitely would go again. We go to Bama games from Dallas every once in a while, so this would be convenient. The Alabama coffee mug in the cabinet was a nice surprise! RTR!

Best VRBO ever!

This lovely home is just as advertised. Exceptionally clean, quiet, secluded in the countryside. Kitchen stocked with virtually anything you could want. Close to Columbus where there are plenty of eating/shopping opportunities. Highly recommend Zachary’s for a great lunch/dinner. Wish we could’ve stayed longer.

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.

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.
