We loved our stay! The home gives you a country feel, quiet and peaceful but only minutes away from town. Not only was the house clean and spacious for our crew but also well stocked with everything we needed to feel right at home. The backyard was great for our dogs and big enough for the kids to run around and play and utilize the swing set. We thoroughly enjoyed our peaceful morning coffee on the back patio. We will definitely be staying here again!!

Thank you for the nice review! We look forward to having you again!
Property is fantastic! It is away from the hustle of Hattiesburg but close enough to run in and grab some groceries or eat at Ed's. It is also close to two state parks. Beds are comfortable, shower pressure is awesome, big living room and dining room, and awesome patio out back.
Everything you need from towels to dishes, super clean, and both times I had questions they were answered quickly. You want to stay here!

Thank you for your review Sheila! We do hope you visit again!!
The house was well appointed, immaculately clean. Very convenient to Hattiesburg but in the country. Large back patio for grilling or hanging out with friends. Will definitely come back to this little gem. Highly recommend.
The location and layout of your home was extraordinary and invites you to feel at home and wishing you could stay a few more days. If available, this property would be my first choice when visiting Hattiesburg and surrounding area. This location is best described as an Oasis and best kept secret in the Hattiesburg area. The Host were very supportive in having everything you needed and then some.
Thanks,
Michael & Doris

Thank you soooo much for this review! I am really glad you found the place perfect for your stay in the area and I do hope to have you here again!!
Quiet with an "away from it all feel" yet minutes from everything!
This home rental was perfect for me while I was visiting family in the area! It is located in a country setting yet only minutes from all that the Hattiesburg area has to offer. It was very peaceful and quiet. The bed was super comfortable. The kitchen had everything I needed for preparing meals for eating in. I enjoyed sitting outside on the back patio while my young nieces played on the play structure in the back yard. The home had everything needed for an enjoyable stay. I will definitely be renting this home again!

Thank you for your response Amanda! I'm so glad you had a comfortable and enjoyable stay. I hope you can stay with us again to!!
Great home in quiet area with easy access to downtown Hattiesburg, USM and major highways. Beds were very comfortable. The fenced in yard was great for our dog. The yard also has a playground that would be great for kids. The house also has a nice patio with lots of seating and a grill. Sherry and her husband were very helpful when we could not access Internet. Good restaurant very close by. Location is good for a day trip to New Orleans or the MS gulf coast. We hope to return in the future!

Thank you for the very nice review! Really happy you liked the place and please do come back!!
You received the property as you saw in the pictures. I was very happy you could see pictures but once you get there its totally different not here. I will definitely be back to property when I back in Mississippi. Very understanding property managers communication was wonderful. If yall are ever in Hattiesburg Mississippi give the home a chance you will NOT regret it.

Thank you so much Chamara!! I hope you do make it back to Hattiesburg again :)
We considered this house to be very inviting. Things were left for us that made us feel very comfortable. The rooms were clean. The bathrooms were clean, and they were well stocked as it said in the description. The only issue was not under the property managers control. The people next-door had three large dogs that were not controlled at all. They came over to the house frequently. We had brought our dog with us and it was even hard to take our dog out in the backyard on a leash because the neighbors dogs would come to the fence. We would rent again but would not bring our dog.

Thank you Nadine! Also, thanks for the info about the neighbors dogs. They don't normally come over but, I guess your dog was interesting to them. :)
