However, the true beauty in this home was not the home or antique pieces, Bernette, the owner, is the true gem when you stay at Shadowlawn. She goes above and beyond for her guests and truly cares for the people staying in her home. Mississippi is known for hospitality and Bernette epitomizes the spirit of hospitality in Mississippi. When you talk with Bernette, it is like talking with a friend you have known for years. The breakfast she makes is five-star quality and made from scratch. The rooms were very comfortable and well-designed and decorated. We slept like babies. We also were staying during a MSU gameday weekend, and the rates for our stay were great, especially considering the alternatives were very pricey and do not come with Bernette and her amazing personality and attitude. We highly recommend anyone visiting Columbus or Starkville to stay with Bernette at Shadowlawn. We are already looking forward to our next visit to Columbus because we already know where we will be staying, which is Shadowlawn. Why go anywhere else?

Riding through the area on my motorcycle late on Sunday, October 12, 2014, I stopped in Columbus, MS for fuel and lodging. I pulled over and consulted Yelp. First I looked for a Courtyard Marriott. But it occurred to me that there must be some attractive B & Bs in this quaint little town. But it was after 7:00 and I thought I would be out of luck. I called the number for Lincoln House and left a brief message for "Brenda," inquiring about availability. Not knowing whether I would hear back, I set off for the Courtyard. I was at the lobby counter and about to pay for a room when Brenda returned my call. I'm sure glad she did. She said I could stay at the Lincoln House and suggested I have a little dinner at the Longhorn Steakhouse first. She gave me directions to her home, and when I arrived she was waiting at the curb with a lantern to help me see where exactly to pull over. While the home is beautiful and filled with fine antiques, the best thing about this place is the hostess, Brenda Caradine. This was Sunday. The day before, the Mississippi State Bulldogs had secured their place as #1 in College Football for week eight. Every place within a hundred miles had been swarmed with visitors. But everyone had cleared out by the time I showed up. So I had the whole house to myself. (The Caradines live in Sid's ancestral home next door.) Brenda has that wonderful old South persona. And she must be the world's foremost raconteur on the person of Tennessee Williams, who hailed from Columbus. She's collected TW memorabilia from all around and is curator of his boyhood home, now the Visitor Center for Columbus. She hosts a TW festival here annually in September. So be prepared for wonderful southern hospitality--an uplifting encounter with a gracious hostess, a restful night, and a hopeful outlook the first morning of your stay in Columbus.

My sister and I were two of the final guests in this award winning restored carriage house filled…read morewith exquisite antiques, I can truthfully say that my stay was restful, educational, and entertaining. Much of the original structure of this fine home was visible on every wall, newel, post and step, yet all the modern conveniences needed for a comfortable sojourn were readily available - even WiFi! My sister and I were treated to a sumptuous breakfast in the formal upstairs dining room amid a veritable sea of antique tableware and decor. The spacious porches and decks allowed a peaceful and cool view of the surrounding garden and the remains of a brick smokehouse and dairy room (along with the remnants of the brick necessary). The epicurian breakfast, prepared by the owner himself, Mr. Sid Caradine, was far beyond expectation and was accompanied by a verbal history of the home which was originally a carriage house built by an ancestor of Mr. Carradine before being sold to the Lincoln family. The only down side of this visit was learning that due to health issues, the Caradine's have decided to sell this fine lady. I asked what would be done with the furnishings and was told that all but some personal items would go with the house. The most unbelievable - almost surreal - information was the asking price for this property of over 3,000 sq. ft. Can you believe that it is less than $400K? I think that I heard that the price was about $88/sq ft. You cannot build a new, less substantial,home today for near that amount and I could not even venture to guess the value of all the antiques. If I were in good enough health myself, I would be scrambling to obtain financing to buy it myself. I can only hope that someone who will appreciate her unique history and charm will be led to make her theirs and continue her grand heritage.

Review of Indian Mounds Campground--by a former longterm resident. Lived here from 2017-2024…read more I came to the Indian Mounds Campground in 2017 after acceptance into a graduate program at Mississippi State. At that time, the campground was run by a different landlord than currently resides and administers the site. Then, a year later, the current landlords, Shelia and her husband, moved into the campground and took over. The change was immediate, and I think it is worth mentioning these past events as a witness to how well they do their job. Firstly, they went to work fixing the dilapidated aesthetic of the park. Gone were the piles of leaves accumulating at each campsite. Repaired were the doors and plumbing and interiors of the onsite bathrooms and showers. Replaced were the shower fixtures, toilets, and sinks. In addition each bathroom and shower was given a space heater for the winter. They dug ditches for drainage along the backside of the campground, and they cleaned up the tent camping site. New gravel was brought in, and they often scraped and re-leveled the roadway. The mail system was rationalized and ordered sensibly. Perhaps most importantly and impressively, they completely revitalized the pond--which was an eyesore when I initially arrived. They got rid of the slime and the algae, built a little dock, and added a gazebo. They have kept the pond clean with a nice little fountain feature and a family of ducks. As an aside, the ducks are hilarious--they waddle around like kings and queens and generally have a grand time. All of these things vastly improved the quality of life at this campsite, and the improvements stand as proof of their care. But they are not all. Indeed, they are constantly present during the year, helping residents deal with freeze warnings and immediately communicating about issues that arise--such as tornado warnings, freeze warnings, losses of power, and losses of internet. Oh, did I mention that they provide you internet, water and power as inclusive in their monthly bill? And that the prices are just unbeatable? At least in my opinion. If you have a camper, and you are contemplating having to move to live and work near Starkville/Mississippi State, then this is the place to go. They do a good job making sure the park is peopled with stolid and reliable residents--mostly students. Things are quiet and safe--even during football weeks when the tailgaters come in. It was just a great place to live. I really can't recommend it enough. Some downsides. The internet is not super fast. Its enough to load webpages and use Youtube, but streaming can be choppy at times. 4G cell service, however, is quite good. I was able to combine their internet with a 4G hotspot on my own service, and I found this perfectly acceptable. Also, the entrance can at times develop a bump--there is a crack in the cement roadway that they have to occasionally refill with gravel. The ducks sometimes sleep in the road, and one will have to get out of the car to shoo them away. They are also very serious about the 5-mph speed limit. (I personally find this a bonus, because it keeps cars from kicking up gravel, but they are serious about it) In summation, Shelia and her husband have created homey environment to park your rig. They keep things in good order always. They are always on site, and communication about issues is prompt. Living at Indian Mounds Campground provides peace of mind in my opinion. I had school and work to worry about--it was a great blessing to never have to worry about my home.
