If you’re a blues fan, we’ve got some news that’s sure to be music to your ears. Mississippi is home to a blues-themed vacation rental. Dubbed The Squeeze Box, it’s as unique as it is blues-centric, which means an unforgettable stay is practically guaranteed. Take a look:
A 425-square-foot vacation apartment, The Squeeze Box is located in the heart of historic downtown Clarksdale, which is fitting since Clarksdale is revered as the “home of the blues.”
Constructed in 2012, the apartment itself is fairly new. However, the building it’s housed in has a lot more history – it was built around 1897 and is the former Clarksdale Telegraph Building.
In addition to all the comforts of home, the apartment is outfitted with amazing little extras, such as a state-of-the-art stereo system, which pipes music throughout the apartment.
