About this cottage rental
Nestled behind Taylor Inn and surrounded by a flourishing garden and chicken coop, the Chicken House is an ideal rural get away. This “tiny home” is a quaint, rustic cottage where you’re sure to feel welcome. Sneaking away from the hustle and bustle of the city, the Chicken House atmosphere provides visitors with an element of slow country livin’. There is an AppleTV in the Chicken House but no cable. However there is DishTV in the next door Taylor Inn which visitors to the Chicken House are welcome to use. But the owners highly recommend watching "Chicken TV" instead... also know as feeding time... every afternoon in the yard.
The Chicken House is located on the grounds of Taylor Inn, a five room Inn recently restored and reopened. The roles of this house have changed over the past century or so, but have not strayed away from welcoming both visitors and locals with a level of hospitality that cannot be achieved without a true desire to showcase a love for this community. The repurposed building that is now Taylor Inn holds fast to the same purpose. Reservations and more info available at Taylor-Inn.com.
Next door, The Big Truck Theater over the years has gained local fans among the natives of the surrounding areas. Located right behind Taylor Inn, Big Truck Theater is not your average barn that one might see scattered throughout the area of Taylor. The barn, constructed of pine lumber is the perfect setting for your next special event and centers around a curtained stage that features the famous flat bed truck as an extension.

The Chicken House was so amazing! Very clean and comfortable. Paige, the host was the best. There was a tornado in the area while we were there and she made sure we knew the safe place. We so enjoyed watching the chickens. Swinging on the front porch was very relaxing and just what we needed! Just loved this place and we will be back. Thanks

We loved this place in the Heart or Taylor Mississippi. Just a few minutes from Oxford and right across the street from Taylor Grocery (Best catfish in Mississippi). We stayed 5 days (4 nights), and took full advantage of the relaxing atmosphere and cool country antique aesthetics. We had coffee each morning on the front porch with the chickens, and a glass of wine every evening on the back patio. There's even a fire pit on the back lawn area, and firewood is provided. Plenty of room for our daughter and her friends to come by and hang out. Also very close to the Wonderbird Gin Distillery, Lost Dog coffee shop, Grit Restaurant and Offbeat in General/Blind Pig Deli (best place for deli sandwiches). So happy we to have discovered this cool place.

We rented the chickenhouse with the Taylor Inn to accommodate all of our family. It is just a few steps away from the Inn. The decorations are perfect. The host is awesome. We enjoyed our weekend in Taylor celebrating the marriage of our cousin. The cottage is unique, the kids loved the loft area!

This is my second time to stay in the Chicken House and I loved it equally as much! The first time I came with girlfriends to go to double Dekker art festival this time I came with my family to go to my nieces wedding. I love everything about it! From the decor, right down to the chickens!

Paige was a great host and very detailed in her information prior to our arrival. The house was splendid and the town of Taylor has a great coffee shop and some great restaurants. What a gem of a place and less than 15 minutes to Oxford. Really beautiful and relaxing weekend!

This was a perfect weekend getaway spot. The home was rustic and clean. The chickens nearby were fun to watch from the porch. There are also two very good restaurants within walking distance.

Loved the I erior furnishings.

We loved our stay here, and the hosts made sure we had everything we needed. You’ll love sitting on the porch swing or having meals at the large outdoor table.
Also, make sure to enjoy walking to Lost Dog Coffee, Grit (upscale dining), and Taylor Grocery (for a true Mississippi fried catfish experience.
We will definitely be back.

❤️We Love the Chicken House.
Close enough to Ole Miss in Oxford to move our daughter back, and enjoy the drive back to the peace of the Chicken House. Paige is wonderful, and always available of you need anything.
Taylor grocery and GRIT are both wonderful for dinner and desserts.
We will definitely return!
Thank you Paige!

Always a pure joy
Our stay was - once again - absolutely incredible. A lovely cabin where we all relaxed. This time, we took time to eat across the street at Taylor Grocery! It was the perfect evening. I dream of owning and restoring a property right there so we can live in such a glorious spot!!!! Thank you for your hospitality!

Chicken Shack at Taylor Inn: A Great Getaway
I stayed here to attend my son's wedding event at Plein Air, just around the corner. The cottage was perfect for that occasion. I will be coming back when I don't have a schedule of activities to attend, so I can enjoy a lost weekend. Something therapeutic about the place--especially the chickens.

Relaxing and fun experience
This get away was exactly what we all needed!!!! We found the cabin to be charming. Close enough to Oxford to get to all activities easily, but far enough out of town to enjoy some rest and relaxation. The cabin is full of charm which is easily matched by the Page as she goes the extra mile to assure you are comfortable.

A true Mississippi experience
We stayed in the Chicken House this past week and already reserved for our next visit to Oxford! The Taylor Inn and the Chicken House are just lovely. The perfect blend of rustic charm and modern creature comforts.
The owner, Paige, is the perfect hostess and the little town of Taylor is very quaint and good eats. Just a 15 min straight, easy ride to Oxford. The chickens and rooster are a bonus.
