About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Close to Oxford and Miami U. Pet friendly-limit 2. Country setting.

Come stay at the historic Brown farm (circa 1818). The cottage is the farm’s original ice house, but is far from chilly. The cottage has been completely renovated, while saving a few historic details. We recently went solar and have an auto generator, so you can feel good about environmental impact, while never being disturbed by a power outage.

The cottage is best described as a studio apartment. It has a full kitchen, bedroom/living space and full bath (shower only). The bedroom/living space has a queen (medium soft) bed. The cottage is optimal for 2 guests; however, an inflatable twin mattress is available for one additional guest (upon request). Thus we can accommodate only 3 guests.

Guests have access to a heated pool (May15- October 1) and hot tub (year round).

Come enjoy our 14 acre property including our native prairie restoration project. Our stocked pond is there for you to enjoy along with a pond-side fire pit.

We are pet friendly ($30.00 fee), but do not have fencing to contain your furry friends. There are two dog parks close by and our entire property is available for leash walking.

We are less than 2 miles from uptown Oxford and Miami U, and 3 miles from Hueston Woods State Park which offers mountain biking trails, road riding, Acton Lake, hiking trails, horseback riding (summer only), a dog park and great birding. The Hueston Woods Lodge has a nice restaurant that rarely has a long wait.

Have stayed here before and really looked forward to our return! Loved the location, which is close to Oxford, but still out in the country away from crowds. The cottage had everything needed for a few days stay, with full and complete kitchen, comfortable bathroom and perfect size living/bedroom area. Hosts are great and very accommodating. Close to Hueston Woods, as well! Will stay here again when we are in the area!

This cottage is so cozy and quaint. Wish we had more time to explore and utilize the amenities more. Great location, just a quick drive to campus. The plus was the charger available for EV charging. Would definitely stay here again.
