Ole Miss Tour

We came to Oxford to tour Ole Miss Law School with our daughter and stayed in Howie’s House. This was a beautiful home with so many warm touches and extras. Shelby was the perfect host and was available to answer so many questions throughout the process. We loved our short stay and hope to be back!

Excellent!!!

We stayed here 1 night for a college visit to Ole Miss the next day. This home is simply lovely! Great area and super nice neighbors. Very clean, had everything we needed and more. The only thing we weren’t happy about is that we didn’t stay another night here. We would absolutely stay here again, couldn’t recommend it more. Thank you for the great accommodations.

Thankful at Thanksgiving

We were so thankful for this house to be close to our family while celebrating Thanksgiving with them. It is located in a very quiet and attractive looking neighborhood. House was spacious and accommodating to all of our needs. Very nice enclosed deck with twin bed swing to sit in while watching their mounted television. Fenced in back yard with outdoor furniture surrounding a fire pit.

Excellent stay

We were in town for a softball tournament and booked this house when our original place fell through. I’m so glad we did. House was clean, had everything we could have needed, and communication was excellent. We had a little hiccup with getting in, but the owner was very quick to respond and get things working for us. If we come back to Oxford, this will definitely be the top place we book. I highly recommend staying here especially if you are staying with family with children.

Problem entering the property

The code to enter was not working because of a problem inside the house. We could not get in touch with the owner so had to stay at a hotel.
