Cozy Stay

We all loved this cozy little house for a snowy swim weekend in Oxford. Very convenient to swim center and town, without being in town. Very well equipped house, everything needed was there. Plenty of cooking utensils. Very warm, easily sleeps 8. Great hot showers. Would definitely book this house again.

Great family stay

We stayed for a weekend to see our son in a competition and brought our dogs. Yard was fenced (has a shed / fire pit) and while the house was old it was clean, decorated well and had everything we needed. It’s on a major road but we did not notice the noise. Beds had extra padding and bathrooms were up to date.

We came to Oxford for our sons playing hockey. The house location is perfect to downtown and the university. The house is clean and has a lot of items you will use to cook. The host answers questions promptly. I would stay again if I would have another trip to Oxford.

Great location for visiting family attending Miami! Fenced yard a plus for traveling with dogs. House is old but decorated nicely. Owners are very responsive and truly want to do all they can to make your stay enjoyable - for example, multiple tvs with guest access.

Fantastic property to stay at!

Really a wonderful house and wonderful owners. We enjoyed our stay very much. Close to MU campus, nice yard for our dog, first floor bedroom for my 84 year old mother. What a gem! Clean as can be with very comfortable beds. One in our group said that she now knows that she needs a new mattress at home since she hasn't slept that well in years. Thank you to the amazing owners! We look forward to returning when we can enjoy the very cute 3 season room - a little too cold this time but we were tempted to hang out there simply because it's so inviting!!

Great House!

We enjoyed our time at the rental, very clean and bright, plenty of room, very nicely decorated and everything you need (except a hand mixer, I brought my antique hand mixer and big whisk from home to make Christmas goodies to take to my niece. The location was nice but my youngest dog ran out the front door and luckily I got to him before he became road pizza. Very busy high speed road.The kids were grateful for the smoking porch, I was grateful for everyone having a good time & being happy. I’ll be moving to the area in 2025 so I enjoyed visiting an area I’ve never been to before.

Weekend in Oxford

The house location was great. Just out of town, but only minutes to the University. We were able to bring our dog, due to the backyard being fenced in, which was great. The house was clean, check-in was easy, and communication with the host was awesome. It would be nice to have a few more essential amenities, such as condiments, and cooking/baking essentials. We did feel that the property was overpriced, as it is an older home, with not a lot of recent updates.

We rented it to move our Freshman son into MIami

When we arrived there were lots of bugs in the main bedroom, the floors are very uneven and the painting job on the walls were not complete. Also, they only have 3 coffee cups and we had 5 in our party. It worked for what we needed but probably will not go back. Also, my sons went into the basement and said there were two dead mice. I did not go down there after hearing that.

Good place to stay

We wanted to be close to the university, and this house was very close. It made it very convenient to get to and from a swim meet requiring several trips a day. Beds were comfortable and it was nice having two bathrooms. Owner made sure we had paper towels, toilet paper, and coffee. The little basket of snacks was a nice token. Only suggestion I have is there were not many mixing or serving bowls and baking dishes. We needed to cook for the weekend and did not find these items in the kitchen. Oh yes, the fenced in yard was so nice. Thanks you for allowing our dogs. We were respectful of the property and appreciated the clean house when we arrived and we left it in good condition. Thank you for having us.
