Custom gunite salt water pool with stone waterfall and a layout deck.3 seating areas: pergola with swing bed and fire pit, deck with patio dining table for 6 and a kids picnic table, and a covered porch with fireplace, outdoor tv and grilling area. Fenced in backyard perfect for kiddos with a large play gym and trampoline. Master suite features king bed, recessed ceilings and 3 large windows overlooking pool area. Master bath includes a large jetted soaking tub, spacious walk in shower, and 2 separate sink areas. Kitchen boasts large open area with granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, gas cooktop, large island, and large bay windows that overlook outdoor fireplace. Lodge room features stone fireplace, 25 foot vaulted ceilings and lots of large fixed windows with amazing views to enjoy from all the power sofas. Downstairs there’s 2 more bedrooms joined by a jack and Jill bathroom with 2 sinks, tub and shower. Both bedrooms have queen beds with pillow top mattresses. The room off the covered porch and kitchen has a pull out couch for more sleeping room and is also used as a children’s play room with toys, games and movies. Upstairs has a large bedroom with a queen bed and 2 couches. There’s a bonus area attached with another queen bed. Our home has an amazing layout for lots of people but still leaves plenty of room. This is our primary home so all our belongings have to be put away in the closets and most drawers. I do have racks on the closet doors if you bring hanging clothes. We have a huge yard with lots of sports equipment. We have fiber internet provided. We also have a loving cat named Beckett on the property that keeps the mice away from the home.

We have stayed here four years in a row for an annual family gathering, and it is perfect. Wonderful pool and multiple seating areas outside and in - gorgeous setting a short distance to Oxford and Water Valley.
This property is the owners home and main residence. Their personal belongings are in the home leaving no real closet or drawer space. The pool and outdoor space are nice and great for a weekend get away.
A group of us stayed here for a college football game. We had a great time, the property was as advertised. Only 15-20 minutes drive to get to campus. Perfect place to return to after the game.
Three families (5 adults, five kids/preteens) stayed for an easy poolside summer getaway. The property was beautiful. The home is a primary residence and so was fully equipped with everything needed for relaxing and cooking together. Excellent communication with the homeowners, and lots of attention was given to their sweet outdoor cat.
Our Family enjoyed staying in this home. We loved the pool area. It was a great place to hang out. James was an awesome host and was quick to answer any questions that we had.
The Host and Home was exceptional. this property offered everything that you can look for for a family getaway. I look forward to our next day at this property.
Wonderful place for a family weekend! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The house was perfect for our extended family to gather for Easter. We look forward to staying again!
The pictures don’t do it justice. It is such a peaceful and beautiful place!
This is my family's favorite weekend get away. It is spacious, lovely, and well-stocked. The outdoor space, with three sitting areas, a pool, TV, grills, children's play area, is amazing. You will love it.
Beautiful and functional family home with well-maintained property. Private country location. Very quiet and restful. Conveniently located within 20 minutes of restaurants, shopping and entertainment venues.
This was our second weekend stay. The home is centrally located for our family and we traveled there for Father’s Day. We had four generations and it was absolutely perfect!!
Loved our stay! We were far enough away from the busy Oxford area during homecoming weekend but close enough to see a game, shop, and grab dinner. The home is spacious with plenty of room for 4 couples. And the pool area is perfect for relaxing after a long day. James, the host, was great!
We enjoyed the property so much! We roasted s’mores and loved the peacefulness of the area. Our kids swam , rode scooters, and and enjoyed hanging outside. We will definitely be back!
Great overall. Only 2 things I would recommend to be on the website. Very friendly outside cat, in case of allergies and no bathroom upstairs.

I’m so glad you had a great stay. Thanks for the recommendations. I completely agree that these two things should be on the website. We put all this information on the site in the beginning so I’ll look into it to see if it’s been changed without our knowledge. Thanks
This was the perfect place for a family vacation. The outdoor and pool space is incredible, with several conversation areas, fireplace, and kids playground area.There was room for three couples and their children. The house is wonderful as well. We highly recommend it.
Very comfortable, quiet home. Location is about 20 mins from campus but you feel like you are nowhere close to the party/bar scene. Lots of space and fun to be had outside and inside. Truly restful retreat during the chaos of graduation. Our graduate was so excited to have somewhere to hang out with us that was away from the crowds and traffic.
