About this property

Belhaven Arts Hideaway: 1932 craftsman guest suite featuring local artists

Located in the heart of the historic Belhaven neighborhood, you will enjoy a relaxing stay in this 1932 craftsman bungalow ART GALLERY! The guest suite was completely remodeled in 2021, blending the best of the new with all the character of the old. Original works from local artists are featured throughout the apartment, many of them available for purchase!

The walk-out basement guest suite has large west-facing windows offering you plenty of natural light along with a view of the enclosed backyard.

In the main living area, you can enjoy a movie or binge-watch your favorite show on the 50" smart TV. While you're at it, throw a pizza in the oven, or prepare a nice meal in the kitchen area.

Speaking of the kitchen, you'll love the new custom-built cabinets, concrete countertops, salvaged cypress open shelves, and new stainless steel appliances. You'll find all the kitchen basics to prepare meals, whether it's a quick breakfast or a gourmet dinner for two.

In the bedroom, you'll appreciate the comfortable queen-sized bed and 40" smart TV. If you prefer to not live out of your luggage, there's plenty of room for your clothes in the built-in cabinets and roomy closet.

The bathroom features a sleek walk-in shower, industrial concrete countertop, and a bespoke towel rack built from industrial pipes and salvaged wood. You will enjoy the natural body soap, shampoo and conditioner, and a hair dryer and first aid kit are also provided.

Just outside your guest suite door you will find a well-lit patio to enjoy a meal or perhaps evening cocktails.

Need to do some laundry? New full-size washer and dryer are tucked away in the guest suite for your use, free of charge.

You will access the guest suite from the back side of the house. Just go down the driveway on the left side of the house to the back yard. You can park your car in the first carport space (on the right). Additional free parking is available on the street.

Check-out is easy at the Belhaven Arts Hideaway. We just ask that you pick up after yourselves (don't leave any big messes), and start the dishwasher before you leave. We'll take care of garbage removal, doing the laundry, cleaning and sanitizing the suite; that's our job, not yours!

Andrew & Kait live on the main level of the home and are the primary hosts. They are happy to assist you as needed, offer local recommendations, or chat for a few moments, but will also allow you all the privacy you desire.

As described above, the guest suite is equipped with two smart TVs. The living room set comes equipped with "Samsung TV Plus" channels, while the bedroom has a 40" set (not a Samsung). Guests can use either TV to log in to their own paid subscription services.

Please note that for longer stays (beyond two weeks), you may need to replenish some of the consumable starter supplies such as coffee, sugar, creamer, TP, soaps, etc.

Also, the exterior of the home has recently been painted blue, so it will look quite different upon your arrival. Updated photos are coming soon, after a few additional improvements to the property.

Great 1BR with perfect everything.
Stayed here with teen daughter visiting eldest at college. Perfect amenities. Immaculate. Art and decor made me want to redecorate back home. Covered parking, myriad of tv subscriptions. Walking neighborhood with convenience to Belhaven and Millsaps. Easy check in and check out with wonderful local coffee. Perfect size for us with relaxation with the eldest for dinner and a movie. Will definitely return!

Wow! How all VRBO’s should be!
Couldn’t ask for better. Such a wonderful remodel to this space. No expense spared. Very comfortable, clean, and hosts were extremely accommodating and communicative. Highly recommended. I hope to use again when in the area. You won’t be disappointed. They do a great justice to the VRBO community. Extremely pleased with everything about this space and stay.

Quiet retreat
This was a quiet little place to rest while in the area. It was easy to find. There were sufficient dishes for cooking the simple meals we prepared. Check in and check out was easy. The hosts were very easy to communicate with too!

About the host

Hosted by Brent Kooi, with Andrew & Kait Forester

Host profile image
I've traveled to 49 US states (lived in 6 of them), and 12 foreign countries, including living 8 years in Japan, and I moved to Australia in 2022.

I love to meet new people and explore interesting places. As a host, I hope my guests will enjoy the diverse -- and perhaps unexpected -- opportunities of Jackson, MS!

Andrew & Kait live on the main floor of my home and are the primary hosts while I am living overseas. They are committed to providing the same level of excellence for your stay.

Why they chose this property

I bought this house in 2020 because I had a lot of time due to Covid shutting down the world. And I chose the Belhaven neighborhood because of its unique charm and historic character (listed on the National Register of Historic Places); Belhaven is in the center of all that central Mississippi has to offer. The 1932 craftsman has a lot of potential. First priority was to fully renovate the walkout basement apartment, making it available for short-term rental; I've also had the exterior of the home repaired and painted, and anticipate making more improvements in the coming years.

What makes this property unique

The guest suite is your own private ART GALLERY! Most of the art is from local artists and is available for sale!

The overall decor mixes the best of the new and all the character of the old: salvaged wood, industrial pipes, concrete countertops, sleek tile, stainless steel appliances, vibrant colors. All of it mixes beautifully.

The guest suite is completely private, with an entrance from the enclosed back yard. With large west-facing windows, you won't feel like you're in a basement at all!
