Graduation weekend

I stay at VRBO properties all the time and this one is at the top of my list. I can’t think of one negative thing to say about it. The location is great, the bed was amazing, the kitchen very well stocked, the homeowners great. . Of all the places I have stayed in Norman this has been my favorite. Oh…. And the couch!

We had a wonderful stay here! It is in a great location- close to the OU campus- and is very nicely decorated. There was everything we needed, from extra blankets, clear instructions, a new kitchen, and hooks everywhere. We would definitely stay here again!

Great stay in Norman!

It was a great rental, very well appointed and clean. Comfortable beds, spacious and comfortable sofa, nice size TV to take in games. Great double en suite for couples, with a bonus 1/2 bath we found the last day! It was too cold to enjoy the outdoor spaces this weekend but great screened in porch and back patio with outdoor dining and BBQ available. Easy checkin and hosts were very responsive and accommodating. We enjoyed our stay with great proximity to the campus and a very comfortable space to visit with our kids from Seattle! Thanks again.

We loved this house! The house is so nice, very clean, beautiful decor, and fully stocked with anything and everything you'd need. We were in town for OU graduation and the house is within walking distance to Campus. Vickie was very sweet and easy to work with.

Needed to get out of town and a change of scenery. This house was perfect as a home base to explore campus and surrounding areas with small children. Close to parks and many restaurants.
