You Can Sleep and Meet Farm Animals at This Airbnb in Mississippi

There are lots of reasons to visit Tupelo, Mississippi. Elvis fans flock here to see the place where he was born. Music lovers and foodies can find local joints like Blue Canoe, which serves mouthwatering American comfort food with a side of soul-curing funk music. Although it’s one of the largest cities in Mississippi, Tupelo still retains its small-town charm, making it one of Mississippi’s best-kept secrets. 

Another reason to visit Tupelo? For a peaceful getaway at this one-of-a-kind animal farm. You can spend your days sipping wine, relaxing, and soaking up the countryside at the Apiary, a 20-acre private retreat. Of course, gathering farm-fresh eggs and interacting with the adorable barnyard animals is the best part of this getaway. A stay at this farmhouse Airbnb in Mississippi will be a dreamy experience you won’t forget. 

We all could use a quiet weekend to escape from the daily buzz of regular life. For me, every chance I get, I enjoy slipping away to the country to welcome the peaceful stillness. At the Apiary, located in the countryside, about 7 miles outside of Historic Downtown Tupelo, you too can have a place to relax and recharge your batteries. Here, you’ll find a large four-bedroom farmhouse retreat tucked away near the banks of Tulip Creek.  

The cozy home is also used as a wedding venue, so it’s beautifully decorated and surrounded by acres of gorgeous, lush land for you to explore. Inside, the well-curated space is the perfect mix of rustic farmhouse and a modern industrial style of furnishing. I can’t get enough of the open-air concept that allows guests to interact with each other from multiple rooms. It’s obvious that the house was created for gathering and mingling with family and friends.

With seven beds spread across four bedrooms, this bungalow can sleep large groups of up to 12 people. This means it would be a great destination for a couple’s getaway, girls’ trip, or a small family retreat. The lovely bedrooms are warm and inviting, decorated in creamy white with subtle hints of colorful accent pieces. I like the extra upstairs bedroom with a sitting area, TV, books, and more, with plenty of space for the kids or teens to play and hang out. 

Expect lots of indoor entertainment, including Wi-Fi, board games, books, a record player, and the piano is a bonus! Sure, you can spend all your time inside (if you choose to), but the outside is where you want to be. Past guests rave about the stunning landscapes with outdoor seating and, of course, petting and feeding the cute barnyard animals.

Some of the animals include a donkey, sheep, and chickens, too. From the porch, adults can enjoy sipping coffee in the morning while watching the animals play and graze. The kids will have a blast interacting with their new barnyard friends. As an extra perk, you can gather farm-fresh eggs to make breakfast every day.

When you’re not interacting with the farm animals, plan a picnic or carve out a couple of hours to catch fish on the pond. What’s more? There is a playground with swings for the little ones, and a charming pergola for the adults to mingle. To add to the experience(for an additional fee), the host can provide bottles of wine and Charcuterie boards for a delightful afternoon picnic, and s’mores to enjoy by the fire pit at night. This hidden gem in Mississippi is the kind of dreamy destination where you can unwind and create some unforgettable memories. 

Between the barnyard animals and the extra perks, it’s easy to see why the Apiary is a guest favorite. Chances are, you’ll fall in love with it too. Be sure to check out the listing for this farmhouse Airbnb in Mississippi to see more pics of the cute animals and to plan your trip.
