An entire 1863 cottage, all to yourselves — three porches, a private kitchen, and downtown Water Valley an easy walk away.
A privately owned, faithfully restored 1863 Greek Revival cottage in the heart of the North Mississippi Hill Country — whole-house, walkable, and twenty minutes from the Oxford Square.
Just feet from downtonw Water Valley and a quick twenty minutes to the Oxford Square and the University of Mississippi, The Cedars puts you close to everything without ever feeling crowded. Guests have the run of the entire house: no shared walls, no shared driveway.
Wake up to coffee on the porch swing instead of a lobby line. Walk to the shops, coffeehouses, and restaurants of downtown Water Valley in minutes, then come home to a house that's been quietly welcoming couples, families, and Ole Miss weekenders for over a decade.
Self check-in · check-in after 11:AM, checkout before 11:AM · free parking on premises · not suitable for infants under 2.
“The past is never dead. It’s not even past.”
Three porches, tall ceilings, lathe-and-plaster walls, and the original heart-pine floors — The Cedars has been faithfully restored to its historic roots, fully furnished with fast internet, and 100% climate controlled.
Game weekends in Oxford mean sold-out hotels and premium rates booked months out. The Cedars gives your group something better: an entire private house, sixteen miles from Vaught-Hemingway Stadium, with room to actually spread out before and after kickoff.
Free parking is yours on-site. Self check-in with extended hours means late (even early) arrivals are no problem, and three porches mean there's always a quiet place to relive the game once the Grove empties out.
The Cedars sits in Airbnb's top 5% of homes worldwide, recognized as a Guest Favorite for its hospitality, comfort, and location. Hosted by Deirdre — a Water Valley stained-glass artist and ten-year Superhost — every stay comes with the kind of local know-how you won't get from a hotel front desk.
Downtown Water Valley feels like a page out of Mayberry: an old-fashioned soda fountain at Turnages, the nationally known BTC Old Fashioned Grocery, and a walkable square full of shops, all just steps from the front porch.
