Lovely and comfortable Victorian Home

I feel honored to have stayed at this lovely home. The home is decorated impeccably but also comfortably. We spent most of our time in the well-equipped kitchen area with adjacent sitting/television room when local family came to visit. Every convenience was provided for; I didn't miss a thing from home! Staying at any hotel in the future will definitely feel like slumming. Thank you!

Victorian delight

Staying at this home is like stepping into a museum from the Victorian age. The amenities are modern and the bed was very comfortable. The outside property included ample outside areas for sitting, or grilling for a group. Bonnie is a wonderful host dedicated to the 100% satisfaction of her guests.

Unique home!

Bonnie’s house is charming and unique! We enjoyed walking through the neighborhood to dinner and to the farmer’s market. The house was big enough to host a family reunion when we were rained out of the state park. Bonnie was extremely helpful and welcoming! Great stay!!

About the host

Hosted by Bonnie S. Emerson

Host profile image
My husband and I grew up in Oxford and never wanted to live anywhere else. Our families and our memories were created here and this is where we chose to raise our family. This location has given us the opportunity to enjoy so much that is around us and yet has allowed us to remain in a small town, peaceful atmosphere! This is the first home that we bought and it was an apartment at the time so the rent check paid the mortgage! We have raised 4 children in this home. They are all married. One daughter lives across the driveway with her husband and three children. Our son lives across the river-- about 3 minutes away, with his wife and two children. Another daughter lives in the country about 10 minutes away with her husband and four children. Our third daughter lives an hour away with her husband and dog! Pretty much every Sunday, they all come here, sit around the "big" table and have a meal together! The children enjoy the basement area and the back yard/woods area. We have a home on Guilford Lake-10 minutes away- and want the house to be used while we are at the lake! We or some member of our family will be available to help you with anything that you might want or need.

What makes this property unique

This home is in a quiet neighborhood and is a step back in time once you open it's door! Period antiques, both passed on from family members and purchased, fill the house. It is warm, comfortable and welcoming. It is suitable for families, as well as groups of friends and relatives.
