About this property
Entire place
You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.
Close to Oxford and Miami U. Pet friendly-limit 2. Country setting.
Come stay at the historic Brown farm (circa 1818). The cottage is the farm’s original ice house, but is far from chilly. The cottage has been completely renovated, while saving a few historic details. We recently went solar and have an auto generator, so you can feel good about environmental impact, while never being disturbed by a power outage.
The cottage is best described as a studio apartment. It has a full kitchen, bedroom/living space and full bath (shower only). The bedroom/living space has a queen (medium soft) bed. The cottage is optimal for 2 guests; however, an inflatable twin mattress is available for one additional guest (upon request). Thus we can accommodate only 3 guests.
Guests have access to a heated pool (May15- October 1) and hot tub (year round).
Come enjoy our 14 acre property including our native prairie restoration project. Our stocked pond is there for you to enjoy along with a pond-side fire pit.
We are pet friendly ($30.00 fee), but do not have fencing to contain your furry friends. There are two dog parks close by and our entire property is available for leash walking.
We are less than 2 miles from uptown Oxford and Miami U, and 3 miles from Hueston Woods State Park which offers mountain biking trails, road riding, Acton Lake, hiking trails, horseback riding (summer only), a dog park and great birding. The Hueston Woods Lodge has a nice restaurant that rarely has a long wait.

The Ice House was a charming, comfortable getaway just minutes outside of campus in Oxford. We enjoyed the lovely grounds, friendly communication with our hosts, even a relaxing soak in the hot tub! It was an excellent stay.
Have stayed here before and really looked forward to our return! Loved the location, which is close to Oxford, but still out in the country away from crowds. The cottage had everything needed for a few days stay, with full and complete kitchen, comfortable bathroom and perfect size living/bedroom area. Hosts are great and very accommodating. Close to Hueston Woods, as well! Will stay here again when we are in the area!
Comfortable studio, park at door, many windows, an outdoor pool and owners are right there if needed. The weather was so nice, I slept with the windows open
We had a great time, the hosts were very helpful. The cottage was everything we hoped for, the pond is very nice and close by. Super location to the State Park and Oxford. We will be back.
Our family had an incredible weekend in Oxford! This place truly exceeded our expectations! We really enjoyed all of the amazing amenities, especially having access to both a pool and a hot tub. The grounds were stunning and really offered a serene and beautiful environment. Highly recommend for a nice, relaxing stay!
My daughter and our black lab had the best time at this hidden gem of a property. So much room for our dog to enjoy the snow and the hosts were top notch! We will be back for sure!
The cottage is very clean and cute. The property is gorgeous. The pool was the perfect temperature and very clean. It was too hot to use the hot tub. There is a beautiful pond and the area was perfect for an early morning walk. Highly recommend this listing.
We really enjoyed our stay. The listing is very accurate, and the host and hostess are friendly and helpful! The hot tub was a big perk for us, and was located in a semi-secluded area, which was ideal. Overall a great time and we will look to stay here next time we are in the area!
We stayed one night while moving our son in for the fall semester at MU. The cottage is very cozy and comfortable and only about a mile from the campus on a very peaceful street. We would definitely stay here again!

Having access to a kitchen while visiting my daughter at college was awesome. The place was very clean and quiet. It was so close to the campus (about 1 mile) but felt like you were totally out in the country and away from the busy campus/uptown area.
