This was the only place available on short notice that would fit 8 people, and it was such a pleasure to stay here. The bus in the back was the perfect escape for our 2 small children to play on for hours, while Mommy and Daddy sat back and relaxed. The kitchen was huge and gorgeous. The AC was so cold and a wonderful escape from the Alabama summer heat. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 5 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Elizabeth W. 6 Nov 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Super fun house with room for all in a great location!

Every single issue, request was resolved immediately. We cannot ask for a better host. The 2 smaller room upstairs were a little warm, Delaine brought over two big fans immediately. Our daughter brought her dehumidifiers. That solved the problem. Everyone in our group loved the bus/tiny house conversion in the back yard. It has its own full bath. The shower is smaller so if you are 6’, you might feel a little claustrophobic We had a great time here. We hope everyone else will too. ##### Camryn E.

The house has more than enough space for us and we were able to have work sessions without a problem. The WiFi worked well and we didn’t have any issues. The property was also very clean. No issues. Our Host was excellent. Very communicative and helpful. We have no complaints and would stay here again if we’re ever in the area. Thank you for a great time! ##### Marguerite M.

The house does not disappoint as it is beautifully decorated and furnished nicely. All the amenities you need are available. High line appliances and fully appointed rooms with Lovely showers and hidden rooms that added to the homes charm. Mattresses are comfortable but firm. Plenty of space for a large family. Parking was a bit of a challenge but we were able to manager it in the end. The tiny house out back was a hit providing additional privacy and accommodations. If this home were for sale I’d be first in line to purchase it. If ever in the Birmingham area this place is truly a home away from home spot! Don’t hesitate to book. It’s a bit pricey but worth it for the experience! ##### Dana B. Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Carrie B. 17 Apr 2025 ##### Carrie B.
