Here at The Oxbow we take the outdoors seriously, and we hope you do too. Sure, our indoor spaces and courtyard host a lot of action you won’t want to miss, but our big goal while you’re here is getting you outside to truly enjoy the rich landscape of this city. We’re talking 32 miles of beautiful, paved bike trails (in the city alone), two gorgeous rivers, and a gleaming oxbow lake. At some point during your visit, we want you out on those trails and out on the water, seeing our beautiful city up close.
GUEST PERK: OXBOW BICYCLE FLEET
Included with your stay is full access to our fleet of bicycles (singles and a tandem) first come first served.

During your stay, you'll have access to Oxbow's yoga mats, which can be checked-out for use in your guest room, or taken off property to someplace like Phoenix Park for yoga, riverside!
