About this property

Peaceful Cabin on 8 wooded acres 3 Miles From MSU Campus

Awakening Spirit Retreat is a 3 Bedroom 2 Bath cabin that is located on 8 wooded acres that are yours to explore and hike during your stay. The cabin has a separate garage that has been closed in that is home to Awakening Spirit Massage Therapy and Hypnosis Monday through Friday. The entire cabin was originally used for the business until we closed off the garage so that we could live there during the construction of our home. Our new home is now complete and we wanted to share the simplicity and tranquility that we found while our family stayed in the cabin. The cabin has a covered front porch perfect for drinking your coffee and watching the wildlife as you wake up in the morning, an open back porch with plenty of seating, and a fire pit that is perfect for enjoying the sunset and a glass of wine. There is a game room in a separate building that has a dart board, pool table, and separate refrigerator. The cabin is equipped with a full kitchen that has most of the basic utensils you will need, and a charcoal grill on the back porch. It has a central heat and A/C unit, as well as a wood burning fireplace with wood provided. The main bedroom has a queen size bed and adjoins a full bathroom. The second bedroom has a full size bed, and the third bedroom has a queen size bed with a twin bunk above.

Fantastic Peaceful Cabin with Great Location

Every year myself and 3 friends visit an away football game and this year we traveled to Starkville. The cabin itself was clean, had everything we needed, extremely peaceful being outside of town and on some acreage, but also very convenient to getting into town (approximately 10 minutes). The check-in process was easy and our host was very accommodating. We had zero issues with the cabin and it is a great property. It had a very cozy ambience and I would certainly return if I've ever back in the area. Our stay was top notch from arrival to departure and highly recommend this property.

Cozy in Starkville

I recently stayed at this amazing cabin, and it was truly a perfect getaway! The cabin was cozy, beautifully maintained, and surrounded by stunning nature. Every detail was thoughtfully considered, from the comfortable furnishings to the well-stocked kitchen. The peaceful atmosphere made it easy to relax, and I especially enjoyed sitting by the fireplace in the evenings.

Beautiful property, had everything we needed

We stayed two nights at the cabin and had no issues. We had friends and family over one evening and there was plenty of room at two dining tables, the living room, the front porch and the deck. The bathrooms are nice and the beds were comfortable. Check in and responsibilities upon check out were super easy.

The house was very nice. It is an older place which isn’t a problem other than a lack of convenient receptacles. I would definitely stay there again, it’s very accessible to Starkville.

Staying here made it easy for us, one for the location, second was able to rest comfortably and relax from all of the busy-ness. The property manager was quick to respond. We will definitely keep them in mind for our next stay in Starkville. Thank you for the hospitality!

Rustic cabin

The cabin is close to town but far enough to get away from the crowds. It was nice to hear the owls and other wildlife while on the porch at night. There is only one TV in the available bedrooms which is located in the "kids" room. Cell service is good. The owner was always fast to respond with any questions.I have added it to my places to search for in Starkvegas. Hail State!

Wonderful stay

This was our second time to stay in this peaceful oasis. The grounds are so well kept and hanging out on the deck was relaxing. There are some games and movies for rainy days.The kitchen is equipped for meal prep but bring your coffee and food with you. There was basic salt pepper oil and sugar packets when we were there. Would definite stay again.

About the host

Hosted by Russell Winston

Host profile image
Amy and I were both born and raised here in Starkville, MS. We both attended high school at Starkville schools, then continued our education at Mississippi State. After graduating, I began my career in the automotive collision repair industry, and Amy attended The Cayce Reilly School of Massotherapy in Virginia Beach, VA. Amy has been self employed as a massage therapist for 15 years, and I now own Advanced Collision Repair in Starkville. We have 3 young children, and love to travel and discover new places. We enjoy staying in cabins and houses that we find on VRBO, and we are excited to have the opportunity to share our retreat with others.

Why they chose this property

The land the cabin is on first belonged to my grandfather. He sectioned off the 8 acres and gave it to his sister so she could have a place to build outside of town to get away. Louise and Kenneth Pyron built the cabin on the property in 1968 where Louise would come to paint and read, and Kenneth would come to work on woodworking projects in the adjacent shop. When Louise and Kenneth passed away the cabin went through several hands, until 2010 when Amy and I had the chance to purchase it to reclaim and restore it for what the property was originally intended. We love this property and are excited to share this peaceful retreat with others.
