Jackson, Mississippi
Welcome to The Nook! If my future wife wants her mom nearby us, she's getting thrown into this place. But in the meantime, it's for you to enjoy!
It's almost like you're staying in a cabin in the woods. Our place is good for solo or couple travelers. With a blowup mattress and couch, we can also accommodate a party of four.
People really enjoy:
- the decor
- comfy bed
- full kitchen
- secludedness
- historic area
- close amenities
It's close to:
- the city center
- airport
- hospital
- nightlife
The property was very cute and warming, would definitely recommend! The communication was great with the property owners! I go to Jackson once a year for my daughters cheer competition and I’ll definitely be looking for this property again next year! Thanks so much!
Everything looked clean but the sofa had a musty smell. It’s a very nice area but because of the woods the bugs were an issue. There was a centipede crawling on the kitchen table and big ants going up the wall. ( I really hate bugs and get itchy when I see them) Otherwise everything was okay.
Perfect location for visiting parents of college kids that attend Belhaven or Millsaps Universities. Hosts were easy to communicate with and gave detailed instructions.
This place was the perfect stop for us on our way through Jackson. The neighborhood is cozy and rich with historic homes that have been well preserved. Families were seen walking the streets, joggers and people walking dogs, a good little community. There’s a little park up the street where someone might take a dog to play fetch I would imagine and strewn throughout the area less the half a mile from the tiny home are some really cool eating establishments. Personally we are at Evie’s for breakfast and drove a little further up the road for BBQ at The Pig and Pint. Inside the home was clean and well stocked with things a weary traveler might need and access to (I can’t state enough being an avid drinker…) FRESH water from a Brita pitcher, love the crisp taste. The kitchen appeared to have everything you need to prepare a nice meal for two if that’s your thing and the living room was comfy. The bedroom has a cool descent and bed slept perfectly fine. The property as a whole is quite shaded so you I feel like you’re tucked away in the woods when you’re inside. Parking with the neighbors went smoothly; parking within the covered parking can be a wee bit tight if you’re not a good driver (my wife lol) but if you’ve driven in the city or know how to work angles you’re fine and there’s room enough to open doors and get things out of the vehicle. Overall this was the perfect place to be within striking distance of the interstate and plenty of good eating around. We wished we could’ve stayed longer to check out local spots more but there’s ALWAYS next time.
Nice, clean and comfortable space with good amenities including a washer and dryer. Would stay again.
Outside was not at all like the inside. Inside was suitable and comfortable, clean and nicely decorated. Driveway was a little rough but it is in a historical neighborhood with some beautiful homes. Get place for a night or two!
Good location for my work, quiet neighborhood.
It was very unpleasant. Dusty Tables not wiped properly Debris outside of the house Roaches Driveway had a bunch of potholes Big stain on the corner couch Water didn't drain properly from the sink The floor wasn't done... no tile, no wood... At the very least, it should have been spotless considering the amount of work needed to make it nice.
Comfy bed. Nice Amenities (washer/dryer, oven, etc...). Good communication from owner. Tight, but manageable parking. Would recommend.
We enjoyed our stay so much at The Nook. Small and cute, perfect for the two of us! It’s so peaceful viewing the wooded area around the house as we enjoyed our morning coffee! Very conveniently located for our purposes! Thank you!
My husband and I stayed at the Nook for 38 days. This was the first time we stayed in a VRBO property in the USA, and we were very pleased with our stay. We had an overall great experience. The Pros: -Communication with Jo, the property manager, was exceptional. Whenever we sent Jo a message, we received a reply within 3 minutes. We had a minor snafu with the lock and a few general questions. Jo responded quickly and ensured the issue was resolved. -Checking in and out is so simple. We had easy-to-follow instructions for getting to the house. Jo's directions were comprehensive, yet simple, so checking in and out was easy. -The location is absolutely amazing! The Nook is tucked away in Belhaven, which is in the midst of everything great about the tri-county area. Belhaven itself has several really nice restaurants, coffee shops, cultural activities, and a park. The community is also very walkable. Within 5 miles, there's Belhaven Heights, Fondren, Downtown Jackson, and Eastover, which offers such diverse entertainment and dining options. -The Nook had everything we needed for a tiny home away from home. Actually, it's tiny but very spacious. The bedroom has a queen sized bed, a closet, and a dresser with a mirror. The living area had a sofa and a television. The kitchen had a side-by-side fridge/freezer, a stove with an oven, and a dishwasher, which came in handy. The kitchen is equipped with a coffee maker, toaster, pots, pans, dishes, and silverware. There's also a 2-seater table near the kitchen window. -There is a bathroom/laundry room with a washer and dryer, which was great! There's also an iron and tabletop ironing board. -The Nook has two covered parking spaces. The Cons: -There was always something flying or crawling, so we were spraying and swatting often. So many mosquitoes, gnats, and spiders were there. Even after we swept and sprayed inside, we still had bugs. I believe it's because there's so much foliage and so many trees surrounding the house. General: -The Nook is behind the main house. While we were there, a gentleman and his two sons were staying in the bigger house. It was no problem, though; they were very friendly and kind. -Some of the streets in Belhaven are quite bumpy. (Thanks Yazoo City clay.) The City is working on them, though. -We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Jo is AMAZING! The Nook was a comfortable home away from home. The pics are accurate. A great place for couples!
Beautiful home in a beautiful neighborhood! 10/10 would stay again!
