    Oxford visit from out of state

    Property is clean and pictures exactly as described. Limited options in oxford area and this met our needs perfectly. If ever in Alabama again will definitely stay here again. Since coming from NH I couldn't comment on safety of neighborhood. It was quiet and appeared to be mostly families. My daughter enjoyed the games in house and running around the yard
