When the air turns crisp and rich colors paint the trees, it is time to pack up and head for Mississippi’s most charming town – Oxford. We teamed with Jill Hiers, owner of Custom Travel Professionals, LLC, to reveal our favorite gems in the quaint college town.
STAY
The Chancellor’s House – This brand new boutique hotel has luxurious rooms, fine dining and spa service options, nestled on the edge of the Square.
The Graduate – Oxford’s coolest hotel. Sip cocktails at The Coop, an amazing rooftop terrace bar, while overlooking downtown Oxford.
The Z Bed & Breakfast – A charming B&B! Services include a full homemade breakfast, wine in the evenings, a backyard fire pit and cozy porch swings.
Ravine Restaurant and Inn - Stay and Dine! Jill says, “They grow some of the restaurant’s food in personal gardens. Their focus is on fresh, local foods.”
EAT
Ajax – Jill says, “Ajax was voted ‘Best Downhome Soul food’ by Mississippi Magazine!” We highly recommend the fried pickles.
City Grocery – This restaurant boasts beautiful exposed brick and pine. Enjoy delicious fare in a candlelight setting on the Square.
Snackbar - Jill says, “Don’t miss this really neat Bistro & Oyster Bar.”
Neon Pig - Old school butcher shop, restaurant and food bar with local meat and farm foods.
EXPLORE
Rowan Oak – Walk the gorgeous grounds of William Faulkner’s home.
The Square - Stroll the historic Square and shop for all types of apparel, books, home décor, and makeup, wedding and bridal party dresses.
Events – Jill says, “Year-round variety of events such as Double Decker Arts Festival, The Oxford Film Festival, and Thacker Mountain Radio Show are can’t-miss attractions.”
Fitness - Yoga, TRX and Crossfit classes are available just off the Square at Oxford Crossfit.
If you have a few extra days, Jill says, “Another amazing place to tag on to Oxford would be a day or two at Tishomingo State Park, about an hour and a half from Oxford. It has AMAZING hiking, cabins, climbing, canoeing and fishing. It has been voted as one of the top parks for hiking in the country and is stunning in the fall when leaves are changing.” We can only imagine the breathtaking photographs you will capture!
