About this property

Great place for family vacation!

Beautiful, custom 4200 sq ft home featuring spectacular family friendly outdoor entertaining and play area. New home backup generator for any power outages! Custom gunite salt water pool with water features including stone waterfall and a layout deck.3 seating areas: pergola with swing bed and fire pit, deck with patio dining table for 6 and a kids picnic table, and a covered porch with fireplace, outdoor tv and grilling area. Pool can be heated if the temps are not below 40 degrees. Must request for the pool heater to be on a week in advance. Fenced in backyard perfect for kiddos with a large play gym and trampoline.
Master suite features king bed, recessed ceilings and 3 large windows overlooking pool area. Master bath includes a large jetted soaking tub, spacious walk in shower, and 2 separate sink areas.
Kitchen boasts large open area with granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, gas cooktop, large island, and large bay windows that overlook outdoor fireplace. Lodge room features stone fireplace, 25 foot vaulted ceilings and lots of large fixed windows with amazing views to enjoy from all the power sofas.
Downstairs there’s 2 more bedrooms joined by a jack and Jill bathroom with 2 sinks, tub and shower. Both bedrooms have queen beds with pillow top mattresses. The room off the covered porch and kitchen has a pull out couch for more sleeping room and is also used as a children’s play room with toys, games and movies.
Upstairs has a large bedroom with a queen bed and 2 couches. There’s a bonus area attached with another queen bed.
Our home has an amazing layout for lots of people but still leaves plenty of room. This is our primary home so all our belongings have to be put away in the closets and most drawers. I do have racks on the closet doors if you bring hanging clothes. We have a huge yard with lots of sports equipment. We have fiber internet provided. We also have a loving cat named Beckett on the property that keeps the mice away from the home.

Beautiful Property For Peace And Fun

We had a great time. The home is large and accommodating. The beds were comfortable and the neighborhood was so quiet, we all slept well. The large pool was main attraction for us. It was clean and the perfect temperature. We all agreed to rent this property again in the fall.

Beautiful relaxing property!

This property was absolutely beautiful. It was very relaxing for the adults and very entertaining for the kids. There were lots of toys on the property for the kids to play with. Everyone loved the pool and the backyard area. The home was very spacious inside and out. I would absolutely recommend this to anyone and would love to go back sometime.

Great location just outside of Oxford

If you're looking for peace and tranquility this is your place. James is the perfect host. Reached out when we needed something, he addressed all in a timely manner. The icing on the cake was the REBEL victory over LSU, what a game! All smiles when returning home relaxing poolside. We’ll be back!

Wonderful Family House

The setting of this property is breathtaking. The house is lovely, spacious and well maintained. James is an outstanding host and was extremely responsive. The outdoor area is spectacular as the peacefulness and beauty of the landscape combined with the amazing pool area is just 2nd to none. The bedding was comfortable and the entire family was very content. The home was built with love and it shows. Truly a magical place for our family Easter !

Beautiful Estate

This beautiful estate exceeded all our expectations. Our family of 8 felt at home indoors and outdoors. The house is spacious and my grandaughter loved the playroom, outdoor swings, slide and trampoline. The spaciousness of the grounds allowed outdoor family games of football, basketball and frisbee. The owner was very gracious and accommodating. I highly recommend this rental. We will definitely be returning.

Multi-family poolside getaway

Three families (5 adults, five kids/preteens) stayed for an easy poolside summer getaway. The property was beautiful. The home is a primary residence and so was fully equipped with everything needed for relaxing and cooking together. Excellent communication with the homeowners, and lots of attention was given to their sweet outdoor cat.

Graduation weekend

Very comfortable, quiet home. Location is about 20 mins from campus but you feel like you are nowhere close to the party/bar scene. Lots of space and fun to be had outside and inside. Truly restful retreat during the chaos of graduation. Our graduate was so excited to have somewhere to hang out with us that was away from the crowds and traffic.

Great Place to Stay

A group of us stayed here for a college football game. We had a great time, the property was as advertised. Only 15-20 minutes drive to get to campus. Perfect place to return to after the game.

Great Family Weekend!

My family has been traveling to visit nieces/nephews for college football for the past 15 years. Came in for the Ole Miss Family weekend recently, and have to say that this property is our all-time favorite! It is difficult to accurately describe the home and property in words, but beautiful and breathtaking are top of mind. James was an excellent host and made the entire process extremely smooth. We will definitely return.

Amazing property! This house is absolutely incredible. Everything we hoped it would be. Expansive indoor and outdoor space. Immaculately maintained and warmly decorated. We had 9 guests that stayed at the rental and hosted 25 during the days. Plenty of space to move around, relax.or swim in the pool.Will definitely stay there again. Jake S

Weekend Getaway

We had nine girls staying the weekend at this property. Everyone had a bed to sleep in, so no one was couch surfing and we all slept so well. We thoroughly enjoyed the pool all day on Saturday! This home sits on such a pretty property with a very friendly cat who only stays outside. If your group is outside, then the cat Beckett will also join! He's was such a fun addition to the party of girls. The host was super friendly and would respond in a very timely manor. I am so pleased with the property and the host!
