Awesome place. Great amenities. Attention to detail was off the charts. The location is in a lovely neighborhood. Everything was as pristine and neat as it gets. Bonnie 's very responsive and their instructions were spot‑on. Best property we’ve stayed at by far. Loved it and will definitely be back.

I'm a repeat customer at this lovely house because I enjoy it so much. Bonnie is a wonderful host. I am always happy to have the chance to visit and experience the beautiful Village of Oxford and surrounding areas. Chenango County has so much to offer, from Oxford's fantastic farmers market to Sherburne's thriving Rogers Environmental Education Center and the gorgeous forests, creeks, and mountains of the northern Catskills. A marvelous place to visit.

We enjoyed our weekend stay for a graduation event about 45 minutes away. Despite the distance, Bonnie's home was the best available bargain for our projected number of guests. The accommodations were as advertised and were more impressive in real life. Bonnie's welcome and opening tour helped us feel at ease, especially given the size of the home. If you need space for a large group and want a touch of nostalgia, this is your spot. Ample space. Plenty of linens. Responsive host. Thank you, again, Bonnie for opening your home to us!
