Family OU football weekend

My daughter and son in law and grandson flew in from Durango CO and met my husband and I for a weekend of OU football. The walk to the stadium was a little far, but we managed it ok. The house had all the things we needed for a great time.

Simply wonderful; ideal location

Our extended family (5 adults, 2 littles) stayed for the weekend while attending a memorial service for a beloved uncle. Modern Norman Retreat was the perfect landing place for us between the weekend’s scheduled events. The property is exactly as presented on VRBO and the host could not have been more responsive or accommodating. The home is ideally situated close to the OU campus and charming downtown Norman. I can’t recommend highly enough for anyone looking to spend some time in the area.

Great house for parents weekend!

This house has literally EVERYTHING you need. The kitchen is fully equipped and so organized! Love that all bedrooms have their own TVs, dresser & closets stocked with extra pillows & blankets. The main bathroom even has 2 bathrobes! The extra bathroom off the kitchen is a huge bonus and would definitely be required if all 3 rooms were used. I can’t think of anything that was lacking!!! The only reason I gave 4 stars on location is because of the noise from Boyd Street but truly the proximity to OU campus made it super convenient.

Nice Choice!

We stayed for a long weekend for our son’s graduation from OU. Six adults stayed, the bedrooms are nice, but they are in very close proximity to each other. The house was a perfect gathering place for our family to enjoy time together. The home is clean, recently remodeled and very nice. There are good spaces to sit and share time together inside and outside. The outside space is a wonderful area to hang out during nice weather, it does lack a little privacy at times (back patio). Overall we were very happy with our stay and owner was responsive during our stay.

What a Pleasant Surprise

Having grown up in Norman and knowing the type of homes in the neighborhood, I was very surprised with the excellent remodeling of the the kitchen, bathrooms and living room of this home. The improved driveway allowed for multiple vehicles to be parked on the property with instant access to the main thoroughfare, Boyd Street. I highly recommend this property to anyone who needs extra space to accommodate family or loved ones staying in Norman for a few days to several weeks.
