Lamplight Cottage- Easy Walk to Downtown

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, coffee shope, 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. We have included a variety of books for you to peruse while you are here! (Want to keep a book that you can't seem to put down? Please leave $12 and the name of the book so I can replace it after you leave!) 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-- we will occasionally leave a few treats. The Dining Room features a beautiful table, built by my husband, that easily seats 8. Family Fun: Several games, Legos, 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, a brand-new Venezuelan cafe, and locally-owned Starkville Favorites! I love to eat and am happy to make recommendations based on your preferences.
