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 (or less than 10 minutes) 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, and 5 twin beds.

There are 4 living areas and an outside firepit giving everyone space to relax or watch TV. There are 5.5 baths so every bedroom can have its own bathroom.

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.

    Deerwood is an amazing place with a beautiful home and property. Great place for a large group. Convenient to Starkville and football game day. We would highly recommend experiencing this unique property with so many historical items. This home has a true homeplace feel. You can just imagine all the family gatherings enjoying the big rooms and outdoors. Thank you for sharing!

    This home is so much fun!! So unique! Very clean, very well stocked with anything you will need. Grounds and pond are beautiful. Just wish we could have stayed another day. If you want a spacious, comfortable place to stay… this is it!

    Deerwood was perfect. We had family from Arizona come to Mississippi for my son’s wedding. The house was large enough for 11 people and extra clean. Would recommend this place for anyone! And hostess went out of her way to make sure we had everything we needed.

    We had a great time while at the property. It was such a relaxing place to hang out we spent most of our down time there as opposed to one of the local restaurants or bars.

    My group really enjoyed staying at this unique property. We are a group that travels to visit SEC football stadiums, and we stayed here for our visit to Mississippi State. First, this property has a great location - rural and remote, but relatively close to town. This allows for great privacy, but we could be to the stadium in 10 minutes. The property is huge, and I wish we had more time to explore it - truly beautiful. It is a large house - a farm house that has been built on over time. It is definitely an older property, but everything was in working order and was more than satisfactory. There is plenty of room and even though there were 10 of us, we never felt cramped. We loved the fire pit and being able to look at the stars. This property would be excellent both for larger groups like ours, but also for family reunions and events like that. My only note would be to be sure you drop a pin and/or make a note of the entrance if you're headed out at night - it can be a bit of a challenge to find in the dark. But, all in all, a great property we would absolutely visit again. If you are visiting Miss State, particularly with a large group, this property will serve you very well. Thanks for having us! -The True Blue Road Trip Crew

    Everything was fantastic - all guests enjoyed your home and the privacy we all had. My Mississippi family will be calling you and my group will be planning for another future get together. Well balanced for kids and the location from the stadiums was even better than expected. Everyone enjoyed the history in pictures and books - impressive rooms. The ladies really were happy with your home and property. Highly recommended and we will be planning another visit. All you need is the right group of people. Outstanding owner communication.

    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.
