Lakefront Cottage minutes from Oxford
About this house rental
Experience this hidden gem lakefront retreat just 5 minutes from downtown Oxford and the University of Mississippi.

Everything was amazing except that the pin on the map on VRBO TOOK US 25 miles away from the property. We ended up in Batesville.

My daughters and I met here for a weekend get away We are so glad we found this gem of a place. The cabin is beautiful, clean, and set up with everything you need. The surroundings are breathtaking with woods and a gorgeous lake. We kayaked and swam. The owners are kind and get back to you immediately if you have any questions. We couldn’t have chosen a better place!!

This was the perfect place for us to spend almost 2 weeks for our daughters move-in and sorority rush week at Ole Miss. The place had everything we needed and the location was ideal. We will definitely be back.

Opted for the Lakefront Cottage vs. organized hotel for a wedding in Oxford ... and so glad we did! It was so clean, relaxing and perfect for our family of 3. We enjoyed the kayaks and the front porch as much as we could. I would not hesitate to book this again!

The location to Oxford was convenient for everything, yet you still felt the serene isolation of being in the middle of nowhere. The bed was comfortable, everything was clean, very tastefully decorated, and laid out for maximum guest-friendliness and usability. Speaking of friendliness, I merely asked where an outdoor outlet was, so we could charge our EV, and there was an extension cord already strung out for us when we arrived! How very thoughtful! I went for a lovely kayak tour around the perimeter of the pond, and walked through the evergreens and the pine needle carpet. The hubs and I drank wine and played guitar in the Adirondack chairs beside the sand. I would stay there again in a heartbeat! I didn't want to leave!

Pictures do not come close to capturing the beauty of this place!
Went for a girls trip, to kick back and disconnect for a few days.
Enjoyed sitting next to the lake each morning, sipping coffee, and listening to the birds.
Kayaked every day, and the spent every minute possible with my toes in the sand.
It was obvious from the moment we walked through the door that the Allen’s took great thought into this little slice of heaven on earth.
Hoping to return many more times, as this has become my new favorite getaway spot.

The property was beautiful as was the guest cottage. What a wonderful escape from busy downtown Oxford. The pictures though accurate can’t compare to being there. Just being able to relax and enjoy nature. Everything you would want was at the cottage and both Oxford and Ole Miss a short drive away. The hosts were warm and welcoming and left a detail notebook to tell you everything about the cottage and Oxford. After the excitement and celebration of graduation it was so nice to go back and relax in the screened in porch and listed to the silence of nature. My grandchildren enjoyed the kayaks that were provided on the lake and fishing and the rest of the family sitting out under the trees. Thank you so much for a perfect weekend stay.

The place was lovely and only about 4 miles away from campus but definitely away from the hustle and bustle. We hope to come back.

Kathy and Patrick were great. Beautiful well-kept property that provides such a relaxing atmosphere. The lake and access to kayaks and boat really makes the day! Had a wonderful time cooking out one evening at sunset. Will be scheduling more trips to Oxford and the availability of this property will be one of our factors.

What an amazing cottage on such a gorgeous piece of property. Its absolutely serene and tranquil, such a nice change from the hustle and bustle of Oxford. The owners responded quickly and were so kind leaving us muffins for the morning. The cottage itself is very well appointed and so roomy. Anything you could ever need was there. We can't wait to come back and. stay again

Our second visit, and the Allen’s did not disappoint! They are great people and their property is great also. Location is close to Ole Miss and away from town, secluded and private. Home is clean and very comfortable. Thanks again for sharing your property with us!

We were there for a long weekend, including a football game. The property could not have been better. Well renovated and up to date, with an incredible lake, it was quite and peaceful. From the description and having never been to Oxford before, I didn’t realize how close it was to downtown and the campus. To have a place that amazing that close to downtown was perfect for us.

This is hands down one of the best Vrbo rentals we have stayed at. The owners go above and beyond to make it a homey experience. The view and access to the lake is breathe taking.

We stayed at this beautiful property for two weeks while my daughter moved into her dorm at Ole Miss and went through the sorority rush process. There were lots of moving parts and Kathy and Pat were amazing. We were unable to locate a few items we needed in town and they let me ship them to their address. This property is pristine and so therapeutic. It’s so much better in person then the pictures can depict. I cannot wait for the opportunity to stay at this beautiful property again.

Convenience and Tranquility
Our experience with this property was amazing! We wanted a place that was quiet and away from crowds but close to restaurants and shopping. We followed several restaurant and shopping recommendations from our hosts and were NOT disappointed. Thank you for going above and beyond!!

Thank you for sharing your wonderful peaceful getaway. We had a very relaxing time and enjoyed being at the lake and also sitting inside the screen in porch. The house was fully loaded with everything we could need. Communication with Kathy and Patrick was spot on. The best was the fire pit on the beach with the tiki torches. We actually were at true vacation getaway. I'm ready to come back every weekend. See you real soon.

What a great place to just relax close to the city, this property is amazing!!!!! From the drive down the winding driveway to arriving to see a cottage with an incredible spring fed 5 acre private lake. The inside was incredible as well. The owners are so humble, friendly and the most genuine folks I’ve had the pleasure to meet. I will definitely be returning to this oasis in the woods. Thanks again for letting us enjoy your property.

My husband, daughter and I spent two nights in this great house, and we wish we could've stayed longer. Everything about this property is perfect. We fished in the early morning and in the late evening to avoid the heat, and we enjoyed using the kayaks. Kathy and Pat are wonderful hosts who clearly pay attention to details like a vase of flowers on the farm table and fresh fruit in a McCarty pottery bowl. They provided everything we could possibly need for our stay. It's hard to believe the house and lake are only a few minutes from Oxford. It's very secluded and private. If you're looking for a place to spend a few peaceful days fishing, kayaking and listening to the birds and frogs, this is the place. When it was too hot to fish, I read on the screened porch. Shopping, restaurants and the Ole Miss campus are only a five-minute drive. We loved our stay so much that we hope to return in the fall!

We really enjoyed this rental - better than the pictures! The house is beautiful and comfortable, the screened in porch that faces the pond is a really nice place to hang out. The house has a nice area near the water to hang out at with a camp fire. The beds are comfortable, the sheets very soft, and the kitchen is well equipped. The hosts are very nice and approachable.

FANTASTIC!!!
It is very hard to pick the right words to describe this property. It is beautiful, serene, quiet, very well maintained, much more than we could have expected. It is secluded but close to the university and all amenities we were looking for. Kathy and Patrick are wonderful hosts! They are nearby and more than eager to make your stay as great as it can possibly be. We are so happy you decided to share your property with us and are already looking forward to planning another stay. Thank you so much!!

Football Weekend
This cottage is in a scenic location with beautiful lake and woods yet so close to Oxford. Lots of seating areas at lake. Cottage is beautiful and has so many thoughtful touches which makes more like home. Kitchen extremely well equipped. Owners available and nearby but not obtrusive. We went to LB Meat Market nearby and bought food to grill and owners had gas grill available immediately. We will book again.
