"FANTASTIC! Cleanest and most well stocked rental we have ever stayed in! Greatest layout! Super comfy beds and pillows! We came to Norman for parents weekend and our air bnb host cancelled 3 days ahead of our arrival! We stubbled across Mark and Liz’s property and though it was about a 25 min drive out from town it was SOOOOO WORTH IT! My husband and myself were planned to arrive and stay the weekend with my youngest son who is a freshman at OU! My oldest son and his wife surprised me (it was also my birthday). This house was perfect! We had everything and more to prepare a great good ole fashion country breakfast! Grill on screened in patio was clean and like new! Our young adult kids also enjoyed an evening dip in the super clean, well functioning hot tub! If you’re going to see your kids in Norman!!!! Definitely consider this home! Plenty of room to bring aunt, uncle, grandma! We can’t wait to go back for another visit and bring our lil two year old granddaughter! Home sooooooo CLEAN!!!! Thank you so much for accommodating us last min and for having such a beautiful well appointed home!"
