OU Parent Weekend
The house was perfect for our family visiting our son for parents week. The house was clean, beds were so comfortable, game room in the garage was perfect! The most spectacular part of the house was the backyard with beautiful thick green grass, tv and fire pit.
I wish I had know about this house earlier as its better than an hotel!
We are coming back and staying for graduation!

Perfect stay in Norman
This house was great and the location was perfect! We loved the neighborhood. The house was so inviting and meticulous, plenty of room for our family. The landscaping and backyard were beautiful and the game room was a lot of fun! We have a daughter at OU and a son attending next year. We’ve rented lot of houses, this was our favorite by far.
The owner was great to communicate with!
Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Awesome property!
Excellent stay at this beautiful home. Lots of space to spread out for our group of 7 (family in town for OU graduation). Beds were extremely comfortable and large tvs in 3 different seating areas. The game room and pinball machine provided hours (HOURS!) of entertainment. Really close to Lloyd Noble Center. Can’t recommend this proper enough
