Got to the house and the owner lives in the guest house in the back. Nowhere on the trip details does it say that. It says events allowed on the details as in bday party’s and family gatherings but I wasn’t allowed to host my brothers birthday there..
Stayed 1 night in May 2026
Response from VrboOwner on 26 June 2026
Thank you for your feedback. We’d like to clarify a few points for future guests. Our listing clearly discloses that the owner resides in a completely separate home on the property, and this information is available before booking. Our listing also states that while small family gatherings and birthday celebrations may be considered, all gatherings and events require prior approval, regardless of size. After arrival, you informed us that you planned to host an event with a DJ, were unable to provide an expected guest count, and could not assure us that there would be no underage drinking. Because this was not disclosed prior to booking and did not comply with our house rules, we were unable to accommodate the reservation. We work hard to provide a wonderful experience for guests who book the property in accordance with our listing and house rules, and we appreciate those who take the time to review them before making a reservation.

This was a perfect home for our large family.. and extended family.. the only negative is that stairs are very steep.

Thank you so much, Gina! We’re so glad The Talley Estate was a great fit for your large family gathering. We appreciate you mentioning the stairs as well—we know they’re a little steeper than many newer homes, and we’re happy the house was otherwise a perfect fit for your family. We’d love to welcome you back anytime you’re in Norman!

Why they chose this property

We first bought this house as our family home, and we fell in love with the neighborhood right away. Nestled in The Trails, it’s full of tree-lined streets, friendly neighbors, and beautifully unique homes. It’s quiet, peaceful, and the perfect place for a morning walk or evening stroll — one of those neighborhoods that just feels good to come home to.
