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, and away from college shenanigans

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.

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 and paddle boat are there for you to enjoy along with a pond-side fire pit.

We are pet friendly ($20.00 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.
Make yourself comfortable in this air-conditioned cottage, which features a private pool and a Smart TV. There's a private patio. A kitchen is outfitted with a refrigerator, an oven, and a stovetop. Complimentary wireless internet access is available to keep you connected.
Enjoy a range of recreational amenities, including an outdoor pool, a hot tub, and a fitness center.
Guests will find features like internet access, onsite parking, and a car charging station.

Fun Weekend in Oxford!

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!

Fabulous stay

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.

Quick trip for a girl and her pup

The hosts were very friendly and thoughtful. The property and cottage were very clean and well maintained. The trails were freshly mowed and easy to walk. A storm came through the 2nd evening and we lost power but only for a minute. They are also solar so the generator kicked on automatically and was actually very quiet. The pool was extremely clean and very relaxing. Would highly recommend for a couple get away especially if you have pets since they are pet friendly. It’s located in the country but close enough to town that restaurants deliver!

Most Adorable!

This is one of the most adorable VRBO I have ever rented. I'm actually sad that it is booked for the rest of my dates. The communication with the host was great. The property was super clean and neat. It was the perfect distance from Miami U. We can't wait to 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.

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!
