Lakehouse

Property was clean and we had no issues. It was as expected. Property is outside of Oxford, but close enough. I enjoyed the outdoors location. I hope to return during a warmer month and would like to fish in the lake. Property owners were very helpful. Recommend you consider this property.

The Lake House in Taylor MS aka The Pond House

We had a wonderful time. Two couples in our 70s. Whoever stays upstairs needs to pay attention when going down the stairs. The landing is narrow. And the steps are steep. use the railing. And go slowly. Or stay downstairs. And have those younger stay up there. And don’t wear socks. It is slippery. We were there 4 nights. Our granddaughter was graduating Ole Miss. Twenty minute drive to the Square. Easy peasy. Comfortable beds. Nice hot water. Kitchen nicely equipped. We cooked breakfast every morning. I did buy another 10” fry pan (nonstick) And donated it. The one I used the first morning was way past being nonstick. It was worth buying another at WalMart. Would we stay there again? Absolutely!!

Relaxing and clean

Enjoyed a great quiet weekend on this beautiful property with our middle school age boys while our daughter visited Ole Miss. Oxford square/campus about 15 minutes away for shopping, baseball games, and great food. Back at the property we enjoyed peace and quiet, nice clean interior, and fishing off the porch with small poles. Owners friendly and easy to reach through vbro site. Taylor quaint country town.

Absolutely Beautiful!

My husband and I stayed for for 4 days and it was perfect. The house is comfortable and very clean. Everything there for cooking or grilling. Trails through the beautiful property for walks. The bed was SO comfortable! The house itself is very unique in the craftsmanship, very beautiful wood throughout. We will definitely come back!

About the host

Hosted by Daniel Barfield

Daniel Barfield and Family are Oxford residents of 15 years. We wanted a place to get away to on the weekends and we found our 'Retreat' where we stay when time allows.

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with the property's unique cottage and combination of woods, pastures and lake. You can relax watching the sunset over the lake. We also enjoy walking the property to enjoy its beautiful scenery and wildlife.

What makes this property unique

Southern-style elegant location that affords peace and quiet while being surrounded by nature. The views are beautiful and perfect location for vacation, family gathering or football weekend. Easy access to Oxford & Ole Miss, but far enough to get away. A short drive to great restaurants, including Grit, Taylor Grocery and The Ravine.
