Summary: We came to town for a football game and to visit our daughter at MSU. The property was clean, secluded, and quiet, yet still very convenient to Starkville and the university. Communication with the host was excellent, and everything was exactly as represented in the listing. We enjoyed our stay and highly recommend this property.
