Comments: (2/23/04) - "I had a lovely overnight stay at Oakdale Farms. It felt like a night at home. The breakfast that was made for me in the morning was fantastic. My room was cozy and the bed was very comfortable. There were spacious turn out pens for my horse, which was wonderful due to the long trip I was making. I hope I have the opportunity to travel through there again!". . .(1/24/06) - "Nice place, a little hard to get to.". . .(5/3/06) - "What a joy our stay was. We were 2 women traveling across country with 6 animals and it is alway nice to find people that are helpful and kind to us. Everyone at the farm was great and very friendly. The stalls were clean, lighted and great for the horses and mule. Caroline went over and above duty as my friend was sick. I was very worried about what I was going to do all day and what I was going to eat. Never fear, Caroline took care of me and I got to see some of the local appeal as I got to shadow her the entire day. Who knew that great Sushi was in Mississippi!! Caroline doesn't cook much but she did a great dinner for me (who knew that I could BBQ!!). I feel like I have a new friend and if I ever get back that way with or without animals I know who I'm staying with. Thanks Caroline, we talk about you often.". . .(11/30/06) - "Thank you for taking us in on such a short notice. The stalls were nice and clean. The horses were very comfortable. The beds were comfortable too.". . .(11/16/07) - "Caroline was very nice and ensured that I had dinner. The first night stay was stressful, as I got my trailer stuck. However, Carla was great. She works for Caroline and pulled it out with her 4x4. The stalls were nice and the bed was a dream. The only negative thing, that did not bother me were the animals in the house. If you have allergies it may affect you. Overall it was a nice place to lay your head."

Comments: (10-21-05) - ". . . the owner, was very helpful with the four horses, getting them put up and getting us back on the road. His ranch is very easy to locate, close to needed facilities for youself, stalls were safe for the horses, and a very nice set up. We stayed in the trailer and had a good nights rest ourself. Best of all . . . [the owner] . . . makes a very good host that enjoys people and horses.". . .(12/4/05) - "The family could not have been nicer or more accommodating. {He} checked on us several times enroute to his place. We arrived at around midnight and his son met us at the main highway and we followed him in. The stall was clean and ready for us when we arrived. The next morning PaPaw came out and checked to make sure everything was up to par. It was! We stayed around and talked to him and enjoyed every minute of it. If you are traveling between the East coast and Texas, this is a great place to stop for a day or two. We WILL be back!". . .(12/19/05) - "Very friendly and accommodating. Location handy to Hwy 49 out of Jackson. Highly recommend.". . .(1/14/06) - "Mike was a HUGE help getting us settled into his barn for the evening. He was our 5th night stop on our move to Florida from California. He came to town to help guide us to his place. We were so tired and he was a huge help to keep us from getting lost. He made sure we were settled and the horses were comfortable in his very nice and cozy barn. He was kind enough to shuffle a couple horse for our two who need to be close to each other. Mike, thanks for all your help and if you ever need a stop out here in Florida please feel free to email us anytime..Thanks again...."

Comments: (10/31/07) - "We stayed here on our way from Louisiana going to Illinois and found it to be exactly what we needed. It helped the trip out so much that we stopped on our return trip instead of driving straight thru. I would reccomend this place to anyone that wants a nice secure and comfortable place to board an animal."
