Beautiful home. The attention to detail is amazing. Every time you turn around you notice another object or detail of the house that you hadn't noticed before. I hope to be able to visit the area and stay there again. Bonnie is a super host.

This is the place to stay
Where do I begin? This place is gorgeous. Bonnie is an awesome host. She is very concerned about her guest's comfort and has to be one of the nicest people I've ever met. The home is magnificent and so clean you could eat off the floor. Beautiful, comfortable rooms. The kitchen is fully equipped, beds are comfortable and each room is exquisitely decorated. Antiques throughout the entire house create such a charming atmosphere. Nice quiet neighborhood too. As us girls were relaxing in the beautifully landscaped backyard we were all saying how quiet and peaceful it was. We absolutely LOVED staying here.

Beautiful home
Pictures don't do the home justice. Bonnie has done a amazing job with decorating her home. It felt like staying in a museum. Communication was great. Bonnie was extremely accommodating with adjusting time for check-in and got one of our family members who showed up early in and kept her company until we arrived. The location is convenient to walk into the village of Oxford. If there on a Saturday, the farmer's market is a must for some fresh backed goods, fruits/vegetables and crafts. Overall a great stay. Would definitely stay here again if we find ourselves in the area.

Small Town Victorian Charm
This was our second stay here and the house and owner never cease to impress. The house is immaculate, with every detail paid attention to keeping with the atmosphere of a Victorian period mansion. All the furnishings and decorative items in each room are really amazing. Such great care has been taken make this museum quality. All this and yet still very comfortable to stay with modern kitchen and bath facilities. The owner is very attentive, responsive and pleasant to work with, obviously taking great pleasure in her role as property hostess. The location is also perfect, in the midst of a quiet posh neighborhood a short walk from the village center. The village of Oxford itself is very quaint and charming, especially when there is the Saturday farmer's market or other event in the town park. This is one of my favorite short getaways.

Staying at this home is like stepping into a museum from the Victorian age. The amenities are modern and the bed was very comfortable. The outside property included ample outside areas for sitting, or grilling for a group. Bonnie is a wonderful host dedicated to the 100% satisfaction of her guests.

Graduation weekend
My parents, my in laws and my wife got to stay at this beautiful Victorian home for Colgate graduation weekend. Located about 40 minutes south of the campus. The property was so well kept and Bonnie the host was so friendly and welcoming. It was definitely a home away from home. Set in the small town of Oxford, NY. Great places to eat nearby and stores close by for shopping. We originally had 7 in our party staying there but my son couldn’t make it due to just changing jobs. After realizing this Bonnie refunded the fee for the extra person not there. We honestly couldn’t have been happier with our stay.
