Just 80 miles from the blues-filled streets of Memphis, hotels near Mississippi University are the starting point for your tale of adventure.

Slip into a rental car and wind your way to Rowan Oaks, where William Faulkner made his home nearly a century ago. As you walk down the tree-lined path towards the main building, soaring white columns summon you inside.
