The accommodations were absolutely beautiful, and the location was perfect. Everything was spotless, and the host clearly pays close attention to detail—they truly thought of everything.

Perfect hideaway!

We loved our stay for 4 at the Josephine. It is beautifully decorated, cozy, and spacious with all the travel amenities you need. It is tucked away from the street with an inviting wraparound deck. Its an easy 6-min walk to the square. We will definitely book the Josephine for our next visit to Ole Miss!

Hidden Jewel Indeed

My mother and I stayed here for a week to celebrate her 80th birthday - what a delightful cottage! Beautifully and thoughtfully decorated, within walking distance to the Square, this cottage was the highlight of our trip. The deck is perfect for morning coffee! Highly attentive staff and easy check-in - thanks again for a wonderful stay.

Charming cottage within walking distance to the Oxford Square

This cottage will not disappoint and is decorated beautifully. The Oxford square is a short walking distance. The hosts are communicative and prompt with any questions. The back deck is a wonderful place to relax with coffee in the morning or drinks in the afternoon.

Gorgeous place, location location Location

This house exceeded our expectations in every way! No detail has been overlooked in the home and it's equally stunning and comfortable. The photos don’t do it justice. We could have not left the house during our stay and still had a great time. The location is ideal ! We loved being able to walk to the Square, shop and eat a delicious meal. However, our favorite meal was being able to prepared it in our own spacious kitchen and eating it on the amazing back deck. Our new Happy Place!! We WILL be back!!

Beautiful property!!!!

I have been wanting to stay at the Josephine House for three years now....it is so lovely. Very well use of space....a great deck around the cottage, plenty of parking and easy to rent. MY ONLY constructive criticism is that the kitchen is in desperate need for "appointment" that match the quality of the house in general. By that, I mean.....platters, serving pieces, more than four steak knives, REAL GLASS wine glasses.... as beautiful as this kitchen is, we had to go buy wine glasses as we didn't want to drink our delicious vintage out of plastic. Might seem like nothing to some....we wanted to cook a great meal in the amazing kitchen but found it underwhelming. Get that updated and you will be forever on our list of places to rent!!!!

Response from VrboOwner on 24 September 2023
Hi Kathy, Thank you for choosing to stay at the Josephine House! As the owners our ultimate goal is to provide a respite for our guests from the stresses of every day life. Per our check-in email and our welcome letter we specifically ask that you please let us know if there is anything you need during your stay. We are only a quick text or phone call away and wished you had reached out. Wine glasses - after receiving multiple calls from anxious guests stressed over accidentally breaking our glass stemware, we decided to stock the house with acrylic wine glasses. Life is too short to stress over broken glass. We hope you enjoyed using the Williams Sonoma dinnerware, drink ware and coffee cups. The kitchen has a complete set of stainless cookware, cookie sheets, casseroles, cutting boards, can opener, wine opener, spatulas, and other necessary supplies. We hope you got a chance to enjoy the Keurig/drip coffee maker with complimentary coffee bar set ups. We work hard to provide an exceptional experience for our guests and we always encourage our guests to inquire about any specialty item required. All our best! Lois, Katherine & Sarah
