About this property

Big home Reunions Business Trips MSU events on 150 acres just 2.5 miles from MSU

Deerwood is a historic country estate nestled in 151 acres of gorgeous hardwood and pine forest. This idyllic and peaceful setting is perfect for a restful getaway or for lively family gatherings. Situated just 2.5 miles from downtown Starkville, Deerwood is also perfectly suited for Mississippi State University events.

This farm has been in our family since the 1960’s. My mother, an antique collector, lovingly gathered historic architectural pieces which contribute to the warm character of the home. Our family was raised here and made wonderful memories both in the house and on the stunning property.

Deerwood Farm sleeps up to 11 people in our 5 bedrooms. There are premium beds and linens - 2 king beds, 1 queen, 1 double bed, and 3 twin beds. Additionally, we have a great deal of space in our family rooms for any extra guests. We also have a couple of air mattresses available.

We invite you to enjoy our 2 lakes, 3 miles of wooded trails, grilling in the yard, and much more. Our deck and enclosed patio provide serene spaces to enjoy the sights and sounds of nature. If you get a hankering for city life, simply head into downtown Starkville for shopping, live music, sporting events, and many wonderful dining options.

Splendid, Relaxing Weekend
Absolutely beautiful, very comfortable home and property with loving detail and history throughout. The owner was delightful, communicative, and responsive to our questions in preparing for our visit and stay. The fresh water lake and average provide a perfect setting to unwind, share laughs and make memories... we are already looking so forward to our next visit.

All we needed.
This is a beautiful setting. If you want space and the ability to enjoy nature, this is where you want to be. It was easy to communicate with the owner. The house is spacious and very well supplied. There is plenty of space for spreading out and also for gathering around a table or in a living area. If you want to venture into Starkville, it is an easy, short drive.

Weekend in nature
The host, Ellen, was very informative leading up to our stay. The experience was everything she had described and more. All the charms of country living, the antiques and the books were really special. Our group spent a lot of time on the back porch and around the firepit. The property with the trees and lake was just beautiful and we all agreed we'd stay at Deerwood again!
