I’ve stayed at the Oxbow many times, great facility with unique room amenities - record player in each room, albums at front desk. While I prefer a room inside the main building, the rooms in the annex are good just maybe not the same overall experience. Great restaurant on-site. Will stay again.

Stay was great! All the staff was really friendly, bartenders on New Year’s Eve were excellent. Smashburger was delicious.
Only issue would be the showerhead in room 21 does have buildup on it. So while taking a shower, it shoots out a bunch of tiny streams, which are slightly painful.
