WELCOME TO THE GOLDEN ROOST

Welcome to your home away from home in Starkville! At DreamStay-Escapes, we're committed to delivering a ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ experience through thoughtful design, responsive hosting, and a home created for spending time together. We can't wait to host you!

🏡 THE HOME

4 Private Bedrooms • 2.5 Bathrooms • Accommodates Up to 10 • Single-Story Ranch • Garage + Covered Carport • Level 2 EV Charger • Fast Wi-Fi

🏡 DESIGNED FOR GATHERING

The Golden Roost was intentionally designed to give families and groups room to spend time together—and room to spread out—with three distinct indoor gathering spaces.

🏡 Single-story ranch home with minimal entry steps, making it comfortable and convenient for guests of all ages.

🛋️ Fireside Living Room – Smart TV, fireplace, and comfortable seating for movie nights or cheering on your favorite team.

🎮 Game Room – Pool table, arcade games, Nerf wall, and plenty of opportunities for friendly competition.

♟️ Conversation Room – A TV-free retreat for coffee, board games, reading, or simply catching up.

🍳 KITCHEN & DINING

A fully equipped kitchen with cookware, drip coffee maker, Keurig, complimentary coffee, and basic cooking essentials—everything you need for game-day breakfasts, family dinners, or meals at home.

🛏️ BEDROOMS & SLEEPING ARRANGEMENTS

The Golden Roost accommodates up to 10 guests, with four private bedrooms providing traditional beds for 8 guests. Each bedroom features comfortable mattresses, quality linens, luggage racks, and space to settle in and unwind.

For groups of 9–10, the modular sectional in the Fireside Living Room can be reconfigured to create an approximately full/queen-size sleeping surface for up to 2 additional guests.

💡 Please note: This additional sleeping space is a convertible modular sectional rather than a traditional pull-out sofa bed and is located in a shared living area. We want every guest to understand the sleeping arrangements before booking so you can decide if they're the right fit for your group.

👶 Traveling with little ones? A Pack ’n Play with bassinet attachment and high chair are available for guest use.

🚿 BATHROOMS

2.5 refreshed bathrooms stocked with plush towels, shampoo, conditioner, body wash, and hand soap.

💻 WORKSPACE

A dedicated office with a monitor, printer, and high-speed Wi-Fi—ideal for remote work, studying, or catching up between adventures.

🌳 OUTDOOR LIVING

Enjoy additional space to relax and spend time together outdoors.

☀️ Covered Porch – Enjoy your morning coffee, read a book, or unwind in the shade.

🔥 Fire Pit Gathering Area – Settle in for evening conversations, s'mores, and time together under the stars.

🍔 Propane Grill – Perfect for cookouts after a day on campus or exploring Starkville.

⚡ EV CHARGING & PARKING

Bringing an EV? The Golden Roost offers a hardwired Level 2 EV charger for convenient charging during your stay.

Hi, I'm Destiny, founder of DreamStay-Escapes. After retiring from nearly 27 years in the U.S. Air Force, I turned my passion for renovation, hospitality, and creating memorable spaces into DreamStay-Escapes. I believe a great vacation rental should be more than just a place to sleep—it should be a place where family and friends reconnect, celebrate milestones, and make lasting memories. Many of the renovations in our homes are completed by our family, and every detail is chosen with our guests in mind. From responsive communication to thoughtfully designed spaces, our goal is simple: provide a stay we'd be proud to share with our own family. Whether you're visiting Starkville for an MSU event, business, or a relaxing getaway, we're honored you've chosen The Golden Roost and look forward to hosting you. Thoughtfully Perpared Perfectly Hosted.
