This was a short trip with family. It’s half way between us and 1 of our daughters. It was a good little get away. The weather didn’t cooperate much, but we did enjoy our time. I definitely would go again. We go to Bama games from Dallas every once in a while, so this would be convenient. The Alabama coffee mug in the cabinet was a nice surprise! RTR!

Convenient location with fully updated inside

The house was only 30 minutes from the Mississippi State football game we were in town for and offered a lot of space for a reasonable price. We appreciated the comfortable, clean, updated furnishings, kitchen, and bathrooms. We would love to return here again in the future!

Great property

The place was very clean and we had plenty of room. We loved staying here. Just a few suggestions… 1. Night lights for the bathrooms 2. Luggage rack in the bedrooms 3. Add a on at dusk, off at dawn front porch light for guests arriving at night. It is a great place and we had a lot of fun!

Short getaway

The updated renovations and modern decor made this place feel like a home away from home. Our group enjoyed the firm but supportive mattresses, the pillows and the extra soft and cozy blankets. The host supplied plenty of blankets, linens, towels and extra toiletries which was a great added bonus. The property is peaceful and secluded but a quick, easy drive to Columbus. We would definitely stay again.

About the host

Hosted by Melissa Smith

This property was originally purchased by my grandparents years ago and was a total of 47 acres. My grandparents house sits next door where my dad and step mom now live. My aunt and her husband built this house and my husband and I purchased it and the 25 acres from her in 2021. We fully renovated the house top to bottom and frequently come back to visit our family and enjoy this little piece of country paradise.

Why they chose this property

This house is private with a beautiful lakefront view. Our kids enjoy fishing, swimming in the lake, hiking through the forest and swinging from the 25ft tire swing. There is so much open space for kids to be kids and even a batting cage for your baseball/softball players. At night you will enjoy the firepit and the beautiful starlight sky. The house is 10 min from downtown Columbus, MS and many shops, restaurants and golf courses. Golden Triangle Airport is only 20 min away so it is super easy to travel in and out of. The house is a perfect spot to stay if you are wanting to catch an Alabama or Mississippi State game as we are only a short 45 min drive to Tuscaloosa and 25 min drive to Starkville. This is a perfect spot for parents or families that want to avoid the crowds and craziness but still go to the games.
