About this property

Southern Comfort 1/2 Mile to Square – Perfect for Game Days & Getaways

Escape to this beautifully renovated single-family home just over half a mile from Oxford's historic Square, offering the perfect blend of comfort, style, and Southern hospitality. Perfect for game weekends, family visits, special events, and relaxing getaways, this inviting retreat provides the privacy and space of a home with the amenities of a boutique hotel.
Start your mornings with coffee on the charming front porch, complete with two rocking chairs and a porch swing. In the evenings, unwind in the spacious backyard featuring three levels of outdoor living space, a propane grill, ambient string lighting, and plenty of room to gather, dine, and relax under the Mississippi sky.
Inside, you'll find a thoughtfully updated home with stylish finishes, new appliances, and upscale amenities throughout. The primary suite features a king-size pillow-top bed, private bathroom, walk-in closet, and a 65-inch Smart TV. Two additional bedrooms each offer a comfortable queen-size pillow-top bed, blackout curtains, and ample closet space.
With two full bathrooms upstairs and a convenient half bath downstairs, there's plenty of room for everyone to spread out and feel at home. All beds are dressed in luxurious 680-thread-count, 100% cotton sateen linens, and guests can choose between down and hypoallergenic pillows for a restful night's sleep. Premium bath towels, luxury toiletries, and hotel-quality cleaning standards—including high-temperature laundering of all linens—help ensure an exceptional stay.
The open-concept living and dining areas feature beautiful hardwood floors and a 75-inch Smart TV mounted above an electric fireplace, creating the perfect place to relax after a day exploring Oxford. The fully stocked kitchen includes Starbucks coffee, snacks, and a selection of basic condiments to help you settle in right away. A dedicated laundry room with a washer and dryer adds extra convenience during your stay.
Whether you're visiting for an Ole Miss game, exploring Oxford's renowned restaurants and boutiques, attending a university event, or simply enjoying a weekend escape, you'll love being close enough to enjoy all the excitement of the Square while returning home to a peaceful and private retreat.
We look forward to hosting you and helping make your Oxford stay unforgettable.

Elizabeth our host was wonderful and so helpful, kind and accommodating! We loved everything about the house and I have already recommended it to all our friends who visit Oxford and Ole Miss!

This house is the perfect weekend getaway for a game day weekend or just a literary (Faulkner) trip to Oxford to enjoy the campus or Square. You can easily walk anywhere in town or stay put and enjoy hanging out on the deck with friends and family. The kind of space you wish you had at your own house. Came for a business conference on campus and stayed through the weekend with the kids for the ballgame and Grove. Just leave your car in the driveway and easily explore town and/or campus on foot. Highly recommend and we will stay when or if it’s ever available again!

We chose this neighborhood because it truly offers the best of both worlds—peaceful privacy and an unbeatable location. Surrounded by beautiful mature trees, the home feels like a secluded retreat, yet it’s just over half a mile from the lively Oxford Square and only a short drive to Ole Miss. Guests love being close to Oxford’s restaurants, shops, and game-day excitement while still enjoying a quiet place to relax and unwind. One of our favorite features is the home's multiple levels of outdoor living space, including spacious decks nestled among the trees that create the perfect setting for morning coffee, afternoon gatherings, or relaxing evenings under the stars. With several outdoor areas designed for entertaining and taking in the Southern charm, this home offers the ideal balance of convenience, comfort, and serenity. From the moment we found it, we knew it was a special place and the perfect home to share with guests.

Inside, every detail has been thoughtfully designed with comfort and quality in mind. High-end appliances, stylish furnishings, and plush, hotel-quality mattresses create an elevated guest experience that blends the warmth of home with the sophistication of a boutique stay.
Whether you're visiting for a game weekend, a special event, or a relaxing getaway, this home offers the perfect balance of convenience, comfort, and charm.
