Perfect relaxing getaway

My husband, kids, and I rented this property for a relaxing family 3-day weekend. Everything was perfect! We enjoyed swimming and playing tennis, and the kitchen had just what we needed to prepare simple lunches and dinners.

Wonderful hideaway!

We really enjoyed our stay and hope to return in the future. The place was clean and comfy and had everything we needed. The owner was very helpful and responsive. The pool and tennis court were great, and both are right outside the cottage. We enjoyed the fireflies from the screened porch in the evening. Be sure to take mosquito spray. Absolutely lovely!

24kt Delta

The cabin itself is nice and quaint, exactly what you want when booking a space like this. Then you add in the perfect amount of amenities and you start to wonder if you could just stay there for much longer than your visit:) Their land, the space that they've built and the company that they provide was a really nice breath of fresh air. Thank you Lars and Family!

Peaceful retreat

The Peacock Cottage was a beautiful, secluded nugget of paradise in the heart of the Delta. The caretaker is a precious lady who was so very accommodating and kind. The pool was a delicious reprieve at the end of the day from the pounding Mississippi heat. It is a quiet, private, and inviting space to enjoy reading, conversation, or friends with some porch sitting. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit and promise to return.

Perfect getaway

Wonderful little cottage, just right for 2 people. The kitchen is small but serviceable, we ate most of our meals there. There's no freezer, but we brought an ice chest with us and ice is crazy cheap at the ice house in Cleveland. We visited Clarksdale, Cleveland, Leland, Greenville and Indianola (some terrific music museums!!) - Shaw is in the middle of them all. Lars is an attentive host and the private pool was a fantastic wrap up to every day. Highly recommend!

Would not return

The cabin is just as pictured. The host was nice and greeted me when I got there. Issues w/the cabin were hard beds, lighting inadequate (bulbs out), no blinds on the door or windows facing front, which made me uncomfortable and kitchen loaded w/fruit flies. Muddy dogs jumping all over me wasn't fun. They're sweet, but out of control and run loose. Very picturesque and quiet, but not for me.

Loved it

We chose this cabin instead of a motel room and could not be happier. It’s very nicely decorated, it’s clean, and it’s cozy. I stayed there with my three sons, and there was plenty of room for a short, weekend stay. There is a tiny kitchen with sink, cooktop, and fridge, and there’s a coffee pot and coffee. The porch is really nice to sit out on, and the deck on the other side is as well. There is a tennis court and swimming pool right beside the cabin. My boys enjoyed walking through some of the fields and woods on the property. Just beautiful. Mr. Ely was so nice and accommodating. We look forward to staying again!

Unhappy

The Cottage was beautiful and clean on the inside. The drive on the way up to the cottage needed grooming. The Air Conditioner needed help... It would not cool the place great at all. We did just as we were suppose to with it and it still would not cool. Could not get the DVD player to work. Needless to say we did not stay the second night. We returned and collected our belongings and drove 3 hours to get home at 12:00 a.m. in the morning rather than sleeping hot again.

We love the Peacock!!!

This is our 2nd summer to spend a weekend at the Peacock. My boys are 6 and 9 and they just love this little cabin and pool. It is so peaceful and relaxing. Lars and his wife are really friendly. It rained the Saturday morning we were there and it was so nice to sit on the back porch drinking coffee and watching the rain. Honestly I wish I was still there instead of at work this morning. Haha

Great country setting

I had five nights to enjoy this pleasant cottage in a quiet setting on a plantation. It's located in the middle of the Mississippi Delta. The cottage is charming, clean, and privately located. The owner, Lars, could not be more accommodating. A great getaway for a couple or a young family.
