I’ve stayed here on more than one occasion. Pet-friendly is a big deal to me, so is the quick walk to the Square. Cute villas and great management. I will be back.

Lovely hideaway near all the action. Easy walk to the square - nice stroll to campus - quiet area to rest and get away from it all. Great place to stay in every way.

We're absolutely grateful for your glowing review and for choosing Velvet Ditch Villas for your stay. Your 5-star rating brightened our day! Thank you for allowing us to be part of your memorable experience. We can't wait to welcome you back soon and create even more beautiful memories together!
If you have not been to Oxford you need to know that at peak times rooms can be as expensive as in New York. Our son is a sophomore so we stayed at 8 or 9 different places in Oxford over the last couple years. The Graduate is the most expensive and this place is very near the Graduate and the square, and is an easy walk to most of the best places to eat, including Big Bad Breakfast and a sushi restaurant. There are two sets of 3 cottages that are small and cozy and built on a lot with a house that looks old and worn and ugly. The cottages on the same lot behind the weathered old house feature full kitchens and a washer & dryer and big TV, with an efficient use of space (the bathroom was just big enough to turn around). The rate by Oxford standards was good and the location was the best.
Great location and very clean! Convenient to the square and UofMiss campus!

It means a lot to our team that our efforts to create a welcoming and enjoyable experience have resonated with you. We can't wait to have you back for another memorable stay!
Nice neighborhood side street location minutes to the Square. Good communication. Easy check in and out process. Ample parking. Note: there is a 20 per hour charge if an early check in. Very nicely appointed and charming unit. I suggested that they need to replace the hairdryer, add a toaster and more clothes hangers. Otherwise everything was great.
