—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."

FYI: Our property is four houses over from William Faulkner's historic home where you will find Bailey Woods Trail.
A National Recreation Trail, Bailey Woods Trail links Rowan Oak, William Faulkner’s historic home, to the University Museum. Stretching approximately 3,000 feet, the trail takes about 20 minutes to walk, and bikes are not permitted on the trail. Bailey Woods is a heavily wooded area that William Faulkner was known to walk through. The trail was officially opened in 2008 and is a popular spot for hikers, UM classes, families and pets. The trail is incorporated into educational programming at the Museum in order to get children and visitors outside and active.
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.
Would stay there again and again. Wonderful host!
Awesome rental. Highly recommend this rental and great location
perfect property and a lovely time in Oxford!
Beautiful neighborhood of older home with character. Love the cottage. Host was wonderful. Walking distance to The Square down a beautiful tree lined street. Would definitely stay again!
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. Leslie 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.
Cute, clean mini cottage within easy walking distance to the square and maybe even better…walking to Ole Miss through the pretty trail through Bailey Woods. We chose this cottage over staying at the Graduate Hotel and I’d hoped we made the right choice. Walking through the sweet wooded 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 to get there? Loved it.
Perfect spot Cozy and comfortable My wife kept saying how Great it was and my daughter didn’t want to leave.
Perfect place to stay! Small, cozy and very walkable area. We walked to The Grove and the Square with ease. Try the coffee Lesley provides. It’s amazing. ❤️
Absolutely everything about our stay at the Walkington Cottage was a dream. Our host Lesley, was in contact with the exact info we needed, always at the right time, and she made sure we felt welcome and comfortable from start to finish. The cottage is well appointed with thoughtful details throughout…..including the delicious, smooth Velvet Ditch coffee, freshly ground and awaiting our arrival……a wonderful way to start each day. We enjoyed our time in Oxford immensely, and the Walkington Cottage played a big role in that. We walked to The Square and to Ole Miss to watch their game against Auburn (Rebs won it!), and the walks were easy and pleasant. I could walk those beautiful Oxford streets every day, and never tire of them. There’s just a special kind of magic in Oxford. There really is. It was difficult to leave behind family, and say ‘goodbye’, and leaving the cottage, where some of our sweetest memories of this trip were made, was also bittersweet. We are thankful and appreciative to Lesley and her lovely ‘home away from home’ for everything. Until next time……Hotty Toddy!
This is a really great property. The owner has everything set up so perfectly with attention to many details - the coffee, bathroom supplies, bedding, etc. it was very easy to access and the location is very convenient. Will definitely stay again. Only downside is renting it before others! It will be in high demand!
Beautiful Guest Cottage in walking distance of the square. We had a wonderful time.
This cottage is in a perfect location for Ole Miss, the square and Faulkner’s house. It is just as described and you feel right at home staying there. The host did everything to make us comfortable, including leaving umbrellas by the door on a rainy day! Thank you for sharing your little piece of heaven!
Loved this place! Easy to get to town! Property manager was great! Gotta try the coffee! Highly recommend and can’t wait to stay here again soon!!
Lesley, We had a great time this weekend. Thank you so much for being a great host. We loved the property, and everything you did to make the weekend great. We will be back! Thanks again, Lawrence and Rebecca
This one bedroom, living room and kitchen is perfect for a couple. The unit has several interesting vintage built-ins along with modern conveniences. It is located in an absolutely beautiful historic neighborhood with many interesting homes.
The owner is just absolutely top notch! Great communication and very helpful. The rental is adorable! In a perfect and peaceful location. I highly recommend this for your stay in Oxford. A home away from home!
My husband & I love this property. Everything from the location, comfortable bed, shower with good water pressure, the amazing coffee (which the owner roasts herself) was perfection! We’ve stayed at numerous properties in Oxford over the years and this is one of our favorites. I wish I’d found it sooner. It is clean, well stocked, and very private. The owner has masterfully updated the historical property without sacrificing its character & charm. We look forward to staying here again!
Lesley was easy to communicate with and had everything ready for our visit! So comfortable and clean and the coffee is delicious!! Thank you!
