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.

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!

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.

This is the perfect spot to shut off the phone, find a chair and drink in the quiet. Pairs well with a book or a guitar. Will definitely visit again!

Peacock cottage

Visiting from Hilton Head, SC for family reunion. This place was a breath of fresh air and just the unplug and recharge that was desperately needed. Natural and comfortable with everything we needed. My daughter says she wants to come back and "vacation" here, which is funny considering where we live.

Peaceful stay

We had a wonderful time at the Peacock in the Delta! Secluded and quiet, just like we wanted. A step back in time relaxing on the screened in porch right by the blooming Mississippi Magnolia tree. The amenities were wonderful for our daughter. She loved the tennis court, pool and tree swing. Lars was a great host who checked on us daily and was also quick to answer any questions before we arrived and even during our stay. We loved the furry friends as well. 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.

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.

Perfect Quick Getaway

My friends and I needed a short break from work and regular life, and found this gem in Mississippi. We only got to stay one night due to work requirements, but when Lars tells you people prefer two nights, I can nowunderstand why! After one night we have all agreed we need more in the future. This cottage/cabin is set on private farm property, and is the perfect getaway if you want to disconnect. While there is a TV, we preferred to sit outside by the fire pit the entire evening, thank you Lars for helping us get the fire going! The back porch overlooking a field with hayrolls was the perfect spot to sit with a cup of coffee and wake up. And who can write a review without including River, the cutest little pup that lives on the property! He was so sweet, he spent the entire evening outside with us before being called into the main house for bed ♡ We cannot wait to come back to enjoy the peace and solitude!
