—Kathleen's Review: "We chose this cute cottage over staying at the Graduate Hotel and we made the right choice. It's an easy walk to the Square, and walking through the pretty Bailey Woods trail to campus was the No. 1 reason we chose this property, and I’m so glad we did. Why mess around with Ole Miss parking when you can just walk through the woods (or down University Ave.) to get there? Loved it."

—Nic's Review: "Everything from the communication to cleanliness of the house, this cottage has all you need. Walkable to the square, Faulkner’s home, and Ole Miss campus it allows you to walk wherever you want to go. Lesley and her husband were extremely welcoming and took extreme pride in their home. Will definitely come back for all future trips to Oxford. Cannot recommend this place enough if your looking for a quiet place in the best town ever."

Just a few blocks from restaurants, shopping and nightlife, this 1-bedroom apartment is the perfect retreat for any occasion. Located in The S.

Small but cute
Conveniently located walking distance from the square, campus and the football stadium. This place is attached to the owner's residence but we felt like we had very good privacy.

About the host

Hosted by Lesley Walkington

Host profile image
Lesley is a Mississippi native with roots in Oxford where her father was born. She also spent many years in Nashville and San Diego, but came back home to enjoy Ole Miss ballgames, sweet tea, pecan pies, and sitting on the front porch with her family.
Lesley is the owner and roaster of Velvet Ditch Coffee Roasters in Oxford, selling her Specialty single origin coffees at Oxford Creamery on the Square, Chicory Market and online at VelvetDitchCoffee.com where customers receive free shipping on orders over $45. She's committed to sourcing and roasting Specialty coffee profiles to elevate every coffee lovers experience. “Coffee is similar to wine, craft beer or spirits, where the enjoyment is in the nuanced flavor of the beans themselves,” Lesley said. "My goal is to create a memorable experience in the cup for coffee enthusiasts like myself. I believe every moment is more special with Velvet Ditch Coffee in your cup,” Lesley says.

Why they chose this property

Great location, private and quiet! It's walking distance to the Square and Grove.

What makes this property unique

Our location is very unique! Our craftsman-style bungalow is also unique to the area, built in 1939 (apartment added in 1950's) with lots of charm. We are on a quiet cul-de-sac. The house sits on half-an-acre in the heart of Oxford's Historic District. Guests can walk everywhere -- steps to Rowan Oak, about four blocks to the Square and walking distance from the Grove.

The Main House and Apartment are connected via two sets of locked adjoining doors, including a "solid core door", between the two properties. The apartment has a private entrance, a large back deck and private off-street parking which is a big bonus on ballgame weekends.
