Amazing stay at this beautiful house. So clean, equipped with everything we needed, perfect location, very spacious and wonderfully decorated and furnished! We will be back!
The house was in a perfect location for our visit and had great indoor and outdoor spaces to gather. The house was clean and well equipped and the check in process was very easy. I would recommend it to anyone visiting Oxford.
We stayed here with family for my son's concert at Miami. Very comfortable stay with lots of open space for gathering and a well-equipped kitchen. Super convenient to campus and Uptown, yet quiet and peaceful. The bunk room worked perfectly for the teens!
The house was honestly perfect for us Miami alums turning 50. Plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms and the outdoor and eating areas were exactly what we wanted to catch up. Loved the living room space which was so cozy with Bob (we named the bison head!).100% will be back!
We loved staying in this home. It was clean, spacious, comfortable, and the best part was all the nature - birds out back and a deer in the front yard. The location was very convenient. We were visiting the University, and hope very much to stay here again.
We really enjoyed our stay! The host is extremely accommodating and responsive. The property is absolutely beautiful with all of the comforts of home, while still having that vacation experience. It's perfectly situated to uptown Oxford, and the grounds are beautiful and came fully equipped with a mana deer and two babies in addition to a Redhawk and other beautiful birds. I will be a return guest, and I highly recommend this property.
We enjoyed our stay “In the Heart of it All - Scenic outlook” for Miami’s parents weekend. The house is very well stocked with everything you need; paper towels, toilet paper, dish soap, body wash, shampoo, trash bags, etc. a rarity in most VRBO’s. The beds are comfortable and the house is extremely clean. We enjoyed the outdoor patio area and the dining table was a great gathering space for meals, our traditional family pumpkin carving and playing games in the evening. The college students loved the candy the owners provided in various parts of the kitchen. The perfect rental for 3 families to enjoy parents weekend. Hope to return again in the future.
This house was everything that it advertised. Our entire group kept commenting how much we enjoyed our stay. It was very clean, spacious, comfortable with a subtle western cowboy theme. We had 4 older adults who had no trouble with the split levels. We enjoyed all the windows with natural daylight and looking out into the "prairie" back yard. We would definitely stay here again!
