When it comes to underrated travel destinations, it's tough to beat Mississippi. This state is honestly so much more than just tough to spell; it comes with its very own set of amazing things to do, see, experience, and remember. Should you live here (or especially if you're 'just' visiting), you might get wild hair for exploration - and I don't blame you. This place is significantly more amazing than it gets credit for, and to prove it, I've found a small handful of absolutely amazing Airbnbs in Mississippi - all of which are worthy of becoming a home base for some amazing exploration. Of all the incredible places to stay in Mississippi, these are by far the most wonderful for anyone looking to reconnect with nature.

1. Whiskey on the River, Petal

When it comes to truly awesome vacation rentals in Mississippi, this amazing one-bedroom, one-bathroom treehouse is sure to thrill your inner child. Not only is it ridiculously beautiful - but it's also got some truly incredible views of a nearby river, making the deck of this incredible vacation home THE place to be for anyone who enjoys soaking up the sights, sounds, and smells of the woods.

2. Owl Nest Treehouse, Mount Olive

Okay, okay, another treehouse - but I promise that this amazing treehouse rental in Mississippi deserves to be on this list, too. With incredible views of the countryside and woods, this awe-inspiring one-bedroom, one-bathroom escape is perfect for solo travelers and/or couples. Tree lovers unite!

3. Charming and Spacious Barn, Ellisville

Okay, seriously - I am positively obsessed with this incredible Mississippi vacation rental; quite a bit larger than the treehouses with three bedrooms and two bathrooms, this amazing spot feels so very away from it all while still being reasonably close to downtown Laurel. When I say this barn is beautiful, I mean it's GORGEOUS, and you'll see why as soon as you arrive (or even just thumb through the photos). Please note that nobody under the age of 13 years is permitted to stay here; please see the house rules for more info about that. An idyllic, kiddo-free getaway with your special someone? I think yes.

4. Quiet Tiny Cabin, Meridian

If you've been in the loop even a little, you'll know that right now, tiny homes are all the rage. If you're a tiny home fan, you'll love this luxurious tiny home rental in Mississippi located on a private lake and surrounded by the wonders of the wilderness. This delightful one-bedroom, one-bathroom escape from the real world is perfect for solo travelers just looking to get away from it all - even if just for a little while. Best of all, the lake is stocked with catfish, bream, and bass - so bring your pole!

5. Cozy Private Tiny Home, Collins

Okay, you might have figured out I have a thing for tiny homes (and treehouses), but I couldn't resist featuring this wonderful private tiny home in Mississippi. Under an hour from Hattiesburg, this delightful escape is perfect for a couple or solo travelers and features a small (but fully stocked) kitchen, WiFi (but no TV - this is a place to unplug!), and, of course, plenty of natural beauty to soak in.

6. Relax in Architecture, Jackson

Lovers of elegance and architecture, this one's for you! Stay in this luxurious, cozy guesthouse located in gorgeous Jackson not terribly far away from anything but most certainly worthy of a weekend (or longer). Anyone who loves beautiful vacation rentals in Mississippi should strongly consider this one-bedroom, one-bathroom powerhouse of wonder. It's no secret as to why this is one of the top listings on Airbnb for the entire state - it's truly awesome, unique, and unlike anything else you'll ever find. If you'd like to learn more about this amazing history of this place, look up the Falk House - you'll find plenty, and then you can come stay the night!
