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.
