About this property

Beautiful, cozy home built 1940, just two blocks from Main Street and a half-mile from MSU campus. Large living room with wooden archway into dining area, with original, refinished wooden floors throughout. In walking distance of over 16 restaurants, a coffee shop, a bakery, the library, and shops on Main Street. Convenient location for graduation, MSU sporting events, and Starkville community events.

The Master Bedroom has a king-sized bed with a Tempurpedic mattress.

The 'Birmingham Room': yes, this is Starkville, but we started our family in Birmingham, Alabama, and have included several Birmingham 'touches' in this room, which has 2 full beds.

The 'Palmeiro Room' was rented by MSU baseball legend Rafael Palmeiro when he was a student here and has 2 twin beds.

The Reading Nook is a study off the living room that is perfect for those times when you are looking for a quiet space to read, work, or make a phone call.

The Kitchen is large and equipped with essentials for cooking and hosting. The 'coffee corner' includes coffee, creamer, hot teas, and hot chocolate. Help yourself to any food you see.

The Dining Room features a beautiful table that seats 6 with a bar that seats 2.

Family Fun: Several games and children's books are included in the living room and bedrooms. There is cable TV in the living room and master bedroom.

Earlier check-in may be available-- message me for availability. I live nearby, and as long as I am in town, I will be available for assistance during your stay. If out of town, I can still assist remotely with anything you may need!

About Starkville: Starkville is a lovely small town who is proud to be home to Mississippi State University. Our neighborhood, Oktibbeha Gardens, is one of the closest to campus. It is also extremely close and walkable to downtown (that is why we initially bought the home!). There are a variety of excellent restaurants nearby, including Southern BBQ, Soul Food, Thai Food, Indian Food, and locally-owned Starkville Favorites! We love to eat and are happy to make recommendations based on your preferences.

Perfect location

It was a cute older home near downtown yet a quiet street. All 1 floor with 3 steps to enter which was important for my elderly mom who stayed there with us. Modern updates, 2 full bathrooms. Very clean. We were there with family for graduation at MSU

AC not working and gas pilot out

The stove’s pilot light went out, but that was a quick fix. The larger problem was no AC. The owner gave us fans to get us through the night. AC repairman fixed it first thing and saved our weekend. Thanks Mrs. Buys for responding so quickly and making it right.

Great house and location

The house was just as described. The setup was perfect for our family of 6, which included 4 teenage boys, with plenty of room for everyone to spread out. It was an easy walk to campus and to restaurants and downtown Starkville from the house. The owners were great from reserving the house to check out, and answering any questions we had Definitely hope to stay here again.

Trip to the Dude!

We made the trip to Starkville for some Mississippi State baseball with our soon to be freshman son. Great spot, walkable to restaurants and even campus if you’re up for it! Driveway is steep and house definitely has historic charm. We had a few minor concerns however Katie was quick to address them personally in a prompt and professional manner. Looking forward to working with her again in the future.
