✅ This property has special local compliance requirements which may require a signed rental agreement, ID verification, and a security hold of $1000 (which is not a traditional security deposit, just a pending transaction).

It is not an app, and you do not have to sign up for an account - it’s a safe and secure website. It also gives you a guest portal with all the info about the home and all of my favorite local spots.
Your guest portal includes upgrades that are optional and include: 🛎️ Early Check-In: Early check-in is sometimes available but not guaranteed. 😴 Late Check-Out: Late check-out is sometimes available but not guaranteed.
If you have any questions, just message us anytime! Happy to help!

Precious house in Starkville just minutes from campus and the district. Property was exactly as described and even prettier than the pictures. Owners checked on us twice during our stay to make sure we had everything we needed. We will definitely be back!

Very clean. Warm and inviting. We loved everything about this little house. Beautifully decorated. Very comfortable. Tremendously better than a hotel in my view. Quiet and safe. If and when we visit again, will definitely book again.Thanks for everything. Check in was easy. I also loved how we were checked on and I felt that if I had needed anything, would have been handled efficiently. But, all our needs were well taken care of and we didn't have to ask for anything.
Very, very clean and the perfect size for 3 gals - super conveniently located !
