Game Room + XL Backyard Retreat Nestled in an idyllic cul-de-sac location in the ❤ of Norman and only 5 minutes from OU's campus, this freshly remodeled 2100 sq ft home is the perfect home base for families. Relax together in the BACKYARD RETREAT with a firepit, deck, patio dining, string lights, grill, mini-soccer field, swing set, rocking hammock and more. Play in the garage GAME ROOM with shuffleboard, ping-pong, foosball, giant Connect 4, and more. Entertain yourself with our Nintendo 64, Super Nintendo, smart TVs, and our outdoor projector. Enjoy our colorfully decorated home all to yourself, use our fully stocked kitchen and laundry as needed, and stay safe with our in-home armored closet tornado shelter. TRAVEL SHOULD BE FUN. We offer more than just a restful place to lay your head at the end of the night (though our home includes that, too). We provide the chance for families and friends to bond and make the most of your trip. Because the moments in between itinerary stops are where lasting memories are made. So roast marshmallows over the firepit and enjoy the warmth of the flame on a crisp night. Get into deep conversations over coffee in the front porch rocking chairs. Dine under the stars and café string lights. Rock yourself to sleep in the rocking hammock. Grill up some shrimp and steaks on the "Barbie". Get the whole crew involved in a mini-soccer game in the backyard, or let the kids run wild around the swing-set while the adults sip and talk on the back deck. Whatever you do, we invite you to connect with one another! So please challenge your kids to a foosball game and let them spin wildly at the handles. Battle away in GoldenEye, team up for some Donkey Kong co-op, score in FIFA or NFL Blitz, or finally beat that one "castle" in Super Mario World together. Make time for a ping pong match for old times sake and sip a beverage while you relive your shuffleboard glory days. Play a giant game of Connect 4 and share the glory of the perfect hook and ring toss with your loved ones. COOK UP A GOOD TIME. The kitchen has everything that you need to cook up a good time if needed. We have a double oven along with all standard kitchen appliances, pots, pans and basic kitchen utensils needed to feed the fam. We also have a full-sized washer and dryer for the inevitable "oops" moments in life. THE BIG SCREEN EXPERIENCE With three televisions, you'll never be too far away from a screen if you want to watch the big game or plan a movie night. Plus, the projector and deck-side 100' inch roll-up screen makes an idyllic movie under the stars within reach. We also have a smart TV available for when you just want to chill on the couch after a busy day. SLEEP IN LIKE A KID AGAIN Our beds are comfortable, pillows are plentiful, and the curtains are blackout. Because you should be able to sleep-in if you want. Maybe the noisemakers will be just quiet enough while borrowing a book from the kids' library, playing at the wooden play kitchen, or enjoying the many games on offer to steal some extra winks. Checkout time isn't until 11 AM, after all.The primary bedroom features a king bed, while 2 bedrooms each offer a queen, and one bedroom has twin beds for when bed sharing isn't best. DESIGNED TO AVOID ORDINARY Our home is bursting with color on purpose, from our Rifle Paper Co. rugs to the designer kitchen wallpaper. Plus, Our rooms are custom themed with Oklahoma nature in mind. Our forest room, butterfly room, floral room, and "wings" room are all designed to avoid the corporate "blah" of ordinary hotel stays and humdrum alternatives. SAFETY FIRSTIf severe weather threatens while you're staying, rest assured knowing that there's an "Armored Closet" tornado safe shelter built-in to the interior of the home in the primary bedroom. You can ride out the storm with peace of mind. SEAMLESS CHECK-IN AND CHECK-OUT We've created a seamless check-in and check-out process to allow you to check-in and check-out with no contact and on your schedule via the secure front door keypad. However, we are always available via phone or message if you have questions or need any help. WHY YOU MIGHT NOT APPRECIATE OUR HOMEYou might not choose our home if....- You need a short walk to campus. Walking to campus, while feasible, is a 1.6 mile journey that traverses a few traffic lights. - An "open floorplan" is a must. We've preserved the original ranch-style floorplan of the home - which we love. - You need HUGE bathrooms during your stay. Our 2.5 bathrooms are big enough for our large family, but shower parties are not in the cards.
