The Perfect Oxford Escape- 4BR Home, 10 Minutes to Football & The Square
Welcome to Oxford, Mississippi — where Southern charm, Ole Miss tradition, and small-town hospitality come together. Our home offers a wonderful alternative to a crowded hotel or a typical rental, giving you the space, privacy, comfort, and relaxed atmosphere to truly enjoy your Oxford getaway. Whether you’re coming to town for an Ole Miss football weekend, graduation, Double Decker, a special family celebration, or simply to spend a few days enjoying the Square, our home provides a comfortable place to gather, relax, and make memories.
Located just minutes from the University of Mississippi and Vaught-Hemingway Stadium, our home puts you close enough to enjoy the excitement of campus and the Square while giving you the opportunity to retreat to a peaceful country setting at the end of the day. Rather than being surrounded by traffic, crowds, and neighbors just a few feet away, you’ll have the benefit of spacious country lots, beautiful surroundings, and the quiet charm of one of the prettiest parts of Lafayette County.
The home features four bedrooms and three and a half bathrooms, providing plenty of room for families and groups traveling together. The primary bedroom features a comfortable king-size bed, while two downstairs guest bedrooms each offer a queen-size bed. Upstairs, a charming playroom includes a twin bed and additional room for an air mattress, making the home especially accommodating for families traveling with children. With multiple gathering spaces, there’s room to enjoy one another’s company while still having space to spread out and relax.
Our home has been thoughtfully remodeled and is exceptionally clean and well cared for. It combines the comfort of a family home with the character and warmth you hope to find when visiting Oxford. There are little touches throughout that give the house personality and make it feel like a genuine Southern home rather than an impersonal vacation rental. You may even encounter a little Mississippi-inspired taxidermy along the way — just one of the home’s unique touches and a nod to the outdoor character of the area.
For Ole Miss fans, the location and setting make this home particularly appealing on game weekends. Come back after the Grove and the game, relax with your family and friends, and enjoy the feeling of having your own private home base rather than being confined to a hotel room. You’ll have room to gather before the game, celebrate afterward, and enjoy the traditions that make an Ole Miss football weekend so special.
And because we’re lifelong Oxford residents and lifelong Rebels ourselves, we understand what makes a game weekend special. We’re happy to share local recommendations for restaurants, the Square, campus traditions, and places worth visiting during your stay. I also drive for Uber on the side, so if my schedule permits, don’t hesitate to reach out about transportation to and from the game. I’ll be glad to help make your game-day experience as easy as possible.
Graduation weekends are another perfect opportunity to enjoy the home. Instead of splitting your family between several hotel rooms, everyone can stay together under one roof, enjoy meals together, visit with one another, and celebrate this important milestone in a comfortable setting. The same is true for Double Decker weekend, when Oxford comes alive with art, music, food, and the unmistakable energy of the Square.
One of the things we love most about our home is its setting. My wife and I chose this property because we wanted the peace and beauty of country living — large lots, open space, friendly neighbors, and a slower pace — while remaining close to everything Oxford has to offer. It’s a place where our daughter can ride her bike around the neighborhood, where you can enjoy the quiet of the countryside, and where you can step away from the hustle and bustle without being far from the action.
We believe the best vacation rentals offer more than beds and bathrooms. They offer a sense of place. Our home gives you the opportunity to experience Oxford the way we know it — with Southern hospitality, beautiful surroundings, Ole Miss tradition, and the comfort of having a welcoming home to return to at the end of the day.
Whether you’re wearing red and blue for game day, celebrating a graduate, enjoying Double Decker, gathering with family, or simply looking for a relaxing Oxford getaway, we would be honored to have you stay with us.
Come enjoy Oxford, make yourself at home, and experience a little Southern hospitality along the way.

About the host
Hosted by Shane Russell
Welcome to Oxford, Mississippi — and welcome to our home. We’re honored to have you as our guest and hope your time here feels every bit as comfortable, memorable, and welcoming as a visit with old friends.
My wife and I are both lifelong Oxford natives, and this community has always been home to us. I’m a proud graduate of the University of Mississippi and work with the Utilities Department as a Service Coordinator. My wife serves Lafayette County as a Tax Collector. We’re fortunate to have built our lives here in a town we love dearly, and we’re always happy to share a little of that Oxford spirit with our guests.
Our home is shared with our daughter, Janie, and our two beloved dogs, Penny and Coco, who are very much part of the family. We’re also lifelong Rebels, so Ole Miss runs deep in our household. Whether you’re here for a football weekend, Double Decker, graduation, a visit to the Square, or simply to enjoy all that Oxford has to offer, we hope our home provides a comfortable place to settle in and enjoy your time here.
Southern hospitality is important to us, and we’re always happy to offer a restaurant recommendation, point you toward a favorite local spot, or help you find your way around town.
For our Ole Miss guests, I also drive for Uber on the side. If my schedule permits, please don’t hesitate to reach out about transportation on game day. I’ll be glad to help with a ride to and from the game whenever I can.
Thank you for choosing our home. We hope you enjoy Oxford as much as we do and leave with wonderful memories of your time here.
Welcome, relax, and enjoy your stay.

The low-crime, welcoming atmosphere and beautiful countryside are a big part of why we love calling this area home.
