But we really lucked out by stumbling on Sycamore Farms website. We stayed in a 3- bedroom cottage with a back patio on a quaint quiet little street and really enjoyed the restaurant- quality breakfast she cooked for us and the other guests on Sunday morning! This place is such a hidden gem, we will definitely return on our next trip to Oxford.

This is the Hamilton studio - recently added to Lion & Ram's offerings. Much like the rest of Lion…read more& Ram's stuff, it's a beautifully designed studio that has been made out of an older building. In this case, it was clearly a residential building before Lion & Ram got ahold of it. I rented the Carley studio. NOTES: -The Hayli studio is downstairs. The Carley and Addison studios are upstairs up one flight of (semi-steep, narrow, old-house stairs). The stairs seem sturdy and have a very sturdy banister. -You may/may not run into another human. Your studio will be private to you during your rental, but the common areas may have other humans. -There are two restrooms (both equipped with shower; unsure if you're allowed to use the shower). One restroom is upstairs in the common areas and the other restroom is downstairs in the common area. -There's a gigantic parking lot right behind the building. You have to take an alleyway on a different side of the block, but it looks like the parking for this area (which includes a lot of residential) stuck a parking lot for all of the residents on the interior of all of the homes on the block. I recommend following Google's instructions and driving around the internal parking lot it took you to until you see a sign for Lion & Ram on a brown fence. It's at one of the corners of the parking lot. PROS: -All-three of the studios in-building have a dedicated hair and make-up room - complete with mirrors. The rooms are also brightly painted and gorgeous - and can (easily and very happily!) double as shooting rooms when you're done. I actually spent more time shooting in Carley's dressing room than I did in the main rooms! (I did not check to see if there was a door for privacy between the main shooting rooms and the dressing room, but with a private bathroom down the hall from any of the studio rentals, it's possible to have someone change there.) -In the middle of one of the hotter days this summer, the Carley's AC was on and it was a comfortable temperature. I was SO thankful for that. -Lots of shoot-thru objects if you get creative. The chandelier in one of the shooting rooms works great - or there's some greenery to shoot-thru in the dressing room that hangs off the ceiling. -I could die for this brightly painted, purple dressing room. It translates so beautifully in pictures with natural light only. Partnered with the greenery in there, it's clearly the shining star of the entire studio. -All of the furniture seemed very sturdy. No plasterboard furniture that won't hold weight. Some of the furniture seems a bit on the older side, but none of it seemed concerning, and the roomy couch and oversized leather chairs will work great for larger-frame clients too. -It's definitely a smaller studio - nowhere near as small as their Reese Studio (which is, quite literally) just a storefront. You can easily shoot up to groups of 3 in here, but I'd start to look into other studios for groups larger than that, or you might get some distortion. It never felt *too small* though for couple's work. -Everything is immaculate. Like always. There are small props (like a sprig of greenery slipped into a faux skull or steampunk glasses on top of an open, old book) that really make the attention-to-details here stand out. CONS: -Honestly, I have pretty much none. This studio, like Lion & Ram's other offerings, is flippin' gorgeous, as always. Everything is intricately put together, works great with natural light, and the "set-ups" that are there to make great photos always are cohesive and good-looking. Lion & Ram has a serious talent for that - which is why I keep driving an hour just to rent out their studios. -My *only* note would probably be that you'll want to bring a secondary hair/make-up chair for larger clients if using this for client work. The director's chair that's in the room is adorable, but it's not plus-friendly.

We loved this tour so much, we did it again! You're not going to get a better hotel or guide to…read moreOktoberfest then Spyglass Tours. There is absolutely no way, you could get as nice a hotel, a reservation at hofbräuhaus the night before, and a reservation at a Traditional Tent, trying to book this trip on your own. Trust me, I tried. You get everything from the traditional to the touristy if you want it, on this tour. We love the traditional tent reservation that is included in this tour, it is fun and festive. The hotel we stay in is modern, clean, and a great location to the fair grounds. Our Tour Guide Michael is the best part of this tour, he is so helpful and relaxed. He is there to make sure we have fun while staying safe in a foreign city.

My mom was set to fly out of the Dayton, OH airport to Denver Int. airport where I was going to…read morepick her up. I had an entire vacation set up specifically for her. I should mention she is 80 years old and this chance will not come up again. Ron picked her up and then proceeded to begin taking her to the WRONG airport. ****EDIT*** My mom did indicate that there had been traffic, but that they could have made it to the airport in time if they had not originally gone the wrong way. ***END EDIT***As a result, my mom not only missed her flight, but it was the ONLY flight that made it that day and there were no other flights for her to take that worked for our schedule - not even the following day. So because Ron didn't do the most basic part of his job - verifying the destination - my mom's once in a lifetime vacation which would have had irreplaceable memories was null and void. Not to mention I'm out $1200 for the Airbnb which was refundable up to the day BEFORE. I expect my payment, if for no other reason than the fact there needs to be consequences for his negligence. It's the absolute least Ron could do since there is no possible way to make up for what would have been priceless time with my mom. ***EDIT*** Of course there are always possibilities of traffic or plane delays, etc., and if that had been the issue in this matter, so be it. However, it is the driver's job to make sure he knows the destination from the beginning, and this did not happen. He's not even apologetic in his response and takes ZERO accountability. My mother is 80 and doesn't do social media. So I will take up for her. ***END EDIT*** Do not book with him unless it doesn't matter if you reach your destination.

She arrived on time at the time we agreed upon & unpacked the alcohol we had delivered. She took it upon herself to find some chalk and decorate our menu board (that I totally forgot about).

Our guests had nothing but amazing things to say about her personality and her bartending services. She was quick in serving drinks and we had zero complaints about wait time or anything like that. We hope to be able to use them again in the future for other events! I highly recommend Dayton Bartending Co. for wedding and special event Bartending needs!
