✅ 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). As an optional alternative to the security hold, you may opt in to purchase a non-refundable damage waiver provided by a third-party insurance company. The optional damage waiver is $39 for stays up to 10 nights, with an additional $2 per day for stays longer than 10 nights. Damage waiver purchases are optional.

To make this process easy for you, we use a secure and very simple, app-free platform called Happy Guest. 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!

Check-Out Policy Reminder

We’re happy to offer early check-in or late check-out when available — just reach out ahead of time so we can try to accommodate!

Please note: Any late check-outs not pre-approved will incur a fee of $50 for every 30 minutes past the scheduled check-out time. This helps us ensure our cleaning team has enough time to prepare the space for the next guests.

Interaction with Guests:
I am available from 9am until 11pm most days. For any questions or concerns, please contact me using Airbnb's messaging platform.
The cottage is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with 2 bedrooms. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a coffee maker, and an ironing board.

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.

Perfect Weekend Getaway

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!
