—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."

So cute and convenient

Two of us booked a stay for an Ole Miss football home game. It was perfect for the space, walkable convenience to downtown, etc. The property could not be cuter. And our hosts were so generous and gave great recommendations on places to eat, etc. Would love to come again and spend more time seeing Oxford

Home away from home

I can’t say enough wonderful things about this property. It was comfortable, welcoming, safe, beautiful. The location is perfect, it was an easy walk to the square, just around the corner is the beautiful Rowan Oak property that I enjoyed walking so much (which the owner suggested to me, along with numerous other things which I also did) I am so grateful for her kindness and thoughtfulness she had for me (I was staying alone) and I can’t wait to get back and stay again (and again)

We were in town for a football weekend and my husband’s first experience in Oxford. The neighborhood is beautiful, and the walk to campus and the Square were easy (in good shoes, of course). Lesley thought of everything in the cottage, and it was very comfortable. Grab this listing if you can!

Coziest cottage

This was the perfect place for my family and me to stay when in Oxford. It is probably the coziest bedding we’ve ever seen in a VRBO location. To include the sleeper sofa that my two teenage daughters slept on. Lesley has added lots extras that show her attention to detail… and you can’t beat the location . Will definitely stay again when in town !

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 Cottage!

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!

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.
