As listed “paradise”!!

Amazing home, amazing outdoor space! Everything about this home is A+! If you ever need to stay in the Columbus or Starkville area this is 1000% the place to stay! We had a small get together with family for our daughter’s graduation, this home has everything we needed to make for a special weekend! Couldn’t be happier with the decision to stay at Karen’s home! Awesome experience A+!!

Perfect for our family!

The house is just as listed. So easy to unplug and relax with the country feel. But still close to plenty of shops and restaurants. The screened in porch was a great thing to have in July and the pool area was perfect. Our favorite part was the daily visit from a hummingbird to the feeders on the front porch. We rented the house to visit family that moved to AL. We will definitely rent again when we come back for another visit. The host responded quick to our messages and was very helpful and attentive!
