Very clean and comfortable. The house was one I could see Ben & Erin Napier renovating for HGTV--it's a Craftsman cottage with great bones

Anniversary trip
They are working hard to restore this cute little cottage. Furniture and beds were comfy and it was a great home base for exploring Clarksdale. My husband enjoyed reading all of the performance posters!

This little old house is perfect for a visit to Clarksdale. It's a little run-down (like Claksdale) but very nice inside. More than adequate. Across the street from a riverside park and just a few blocks from downtown. We were in town for a few days for a wedding and it was great to be able to walk to everything. Highly recommended.

Overall the interior of the house was very clean.
Kitchen is well equipped and there was a very nice selection of CDs to listen to as well.
Interior of home is comfortable.
Location is convenient to downtown area.
We visited here for the Delta Blues Museum and to learn more about the history of the music. We did enjoy our stay here.
Below are the cons, in all fairness, we were just staying a couple nights and I did not contact the owner about the items listed below. We did enjoy our stay despite the items below.
Cons:
The online listing misleading.
Yard looked like it had not been kept up all winter.
Located near a noisy intersection including a lot of foot traffic. But for the most part it would quiet down late at night.
Washer and dryer had special notes on how manage deficiencies that should have been repaired.
Shower door not working properly.
The half bath is extremely small. Looks more like mid-size closet.
Located on the edge of a neighborhood that appears somewhat rundown.
Overall, it's not a bad place to stay, I was disappointed at the lack of repair but the price was reasonable.

Charming house, but TV and Internet weren't working and could not be fixed during our stay. Manager came over right away to try to fix the problem and was very nice. Other than that, everything was great. Comfortable, close to downtown, perfect for us.

Cute cottage within easy access to Clarksdale's live music
My sister, her husband, and I spent four days in this adorable Clarksdale, MS cottage during our adventure on the MS Blues Trail. Everything is cozy and comfy, and you could definitely walk to live music if you wanted. Clarksdale is the perfect location for exploring the MS Blues Trail as there is live music somewhere nearly every night of the week. It's also close to Memphis and was the largest town in MS we encountered on our journey. Cleveland, MS is not far and is a must-visit to see the MS Grammy Museum, one of the best museums I've been through. The cottage can be a bit tricky to find in the dark, so try to plan your arrival for daylight. This was a terrific place to say, and I would definitely stay there again.

Best house in Clarksdale!
This was our second time to stay in Johnnie Be Good house and we love it. It's very well stocked. And the beds are comfortable and the decor is very home like with great art work from local artists. Great location and the owner is super quick to respond with any questions. We'll be back!

Great place, close to Ground Zero!
Great little cottage located across the street from a lovely park--a good place to walk. The cottage is only about a ten minute walk from the music. We had an issue with the oven and the caretaker was there in a few minutes. My son and I traveled together and the half bath in one of the bedrooms provided privacy for us both. I would choose to stay there again.

Fantastic! Very comfortable and conveniently located.
We had a great time at "The Land Where The Blues Began". We stayed 4 nights and found the cottage very comfortable. The beds were comfy and all the linen pristine. The kitchen is well fitted out and the washing machine and dryer work well. The air-conditioning works very well also. The owners were great to deal with and communicated promptly. Would recommend it to anyone!
