About this property

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Close to Oxford and Miami U. Pet friendly, and away from college shenanigans

Come stay at the historic Brown farm (circa 1818). The cottage is the farm’s original ice house, but is far from chilly. The cottage has been completely renovated, while saving a few historic details. We recently went solar and have an auto generator, so you can feel good about environmental impact, while never being disturbed by a power outage.

The cottage is best described as a studio apartment. It has a full kitchen, bedroom/living space and full bath (shower only). The bedroom/living space has a queen (medium firm) bed. The cottage is optimal for 2 guests; however, two inflatable twin mattresses are available for additional guests. It will be tight quarters with the inflatable beds, so be prepared for that.

Guests have access to a heated pool (May- October) and hot tub (year round).

Come enjoy our 14 acre property including our native prairie restoration project. Our stocked pond and paddle boat are there for you to enjoy along with a pond-side fire pit.

We are pet friendly ($20.00 fee), but do not have fencing to contain your furry friends. There are two dog parks close by and our entire property is available for leash walking.

We are less than 2 miles from uptown Oxford and Miami U, and 3 miles from Hueston Woods State Park which offers mountain biking trails, road riding, Acton Lake, hiking trails, horseback riding (summer only) a dog park and great birding. The Hueston Woods Lodge has a nice restaurant that rarely has a long wait.

Short Oxford stay
Moved our daughter back into her apartment and the hot tub and pool were so relaxing after a long day. The nearby field was lit up with fireflies…which was fantastic. Another nice stay here!

This place! It was absolutely perfect, close to town and had everything we needed for our stay! Five stars all around. The hosts were very accommodating and kind. We were in town for my daughter's college graduation and I wish I had known about it before our last visit to town.

Perfect location for my needs
Easiest check in. Close to local foods. Close to my appointments the 2 days I was there. Had a stray flying bug but the fly swatter eventually won. This is my second time at this location. Some day I might actually get to use the pool or hot tub, but my visits are always so busy.

Great place!
We came into town to participate in a reunion concert at Miami and this was the perfect place! It was far enough away from campus not to hear any partying students, yet close enough to park uptown in 5 minutes. It was exactly as advertised - fully furnished, clean, and even has a hot tub, although we didn't use it. The hosts were available and responsive. No complaints! We will definitely be back for the next time we will be in town.

Ice House Cottage is great
My husband and I, along with our 2 year-old daughter and elderly dog stayed here for a long weekend to see the total eclipse. We had a wonderful time at the property, which was gorgeous, and Tom and Kathy were excellent hosts. Absolutely recommend to any small group looking to have a peaceful respite.
