Very nice cottage; don't let first impressions fool you. ;) Entire cottage was very clean and helpful information was posted on the fridge. Hosts were very friendly. Some shops nearby but did not get to explore until Sunday afternoon and many were closed. The stairs to the upper level were a little narrow and steep and the bathroom was upstairs so keeping that in mind when staying here may be helpful.

My stay at the Historic Barker Cottage was an absolute pleasure. The location was perfect for my training clinic, offering a quiet and peaceful neighborhood that was ideal for unwinding after class. The property itself was exceptionally clean and comfortable, and the self check-in process was a breeze. I also want to extend my appreciation to the hosts, Michelle and Shawn. They were extremely responsive, helpful, and a pleasure to work with.The cottage was the perfect size for a single person, and its location was incredibly convenient. I enjoyed a great cafe within easy walking distance and found it was a short, simple drive to grocery stores, restaurants, and other shopping. This property truly provided everything I needed for a perfect experience. I highly recommend it!

The owners are excellent. Their pet Labrador Roxy is amazing. It’s great location and downtown if you call that new Oxford near the Square that was excellent. I didn’t like the stairs because they are narrow for this 6 foot tall 250 pound guy there is barely as wide as my shoulders But if you’re not have football shoulders, you will be just fine.

Long weekend

Came to town for a long weekend. Went to Gettysburg, Harper’s Ferry, Amish Country, and drove Skyline drive. Came home each evening to the wonderful little place that had all the comforts of home. Walked to the coffee shop in the morning which is two buildings away. Everything was perfect and I highly recommend this to any couple looking for a nice place to stay. Only 10 minutes to Gettysburg.

Perfect place to stay in New Oxford!!!

We’ve been looking for a perfect place to stay in New Oxford and we finally found it! Home is perfectly clean, quiet, really comfortable bed and is supplied with everything you need. Hosts are very friendly and communicate quickly. Easy check out and just a wonderful private place. We plan to come back several times a year when we visit friends here and antiquing! Don’t forget the safe off street parking, coffee and sandwich shops just around the corner and great restaurant recommendations!!

Nice little cottage that was very comfortable. A few small initial glitches addressed immediately

Vrbo makes it very difficult to contact owner directly and quickly.. Owners very nice and quick to respond. TV not hooked to cable and difficult to maneuver. Great kitchen, comfirtable bed. Reasonably priced.
