Large, Renovated On E. Lake Park! Comfy Cottage

Summary:
Welcome to our beautifully updated three-bedroom, 2 ½-bathroom lake-view home, ideal for your next family or group vacation. Located on a private cul-de-sac, the property offers both privacy and a safe environment for children. With a spacious backyard and pet-friendly accommodations (with a fee), it provides comfort and convenience for all guests. To ensure complete transparency, we've included both professional photos and real-time images from our cleaning team, so you know exactly what to expect. We look forward to hosting you!

The Space:
Guests can enter the house using a digital keypad. Once inside, to the left is the living room, and to the right is the first bedroom with a queen bed.
Straight ahead from the front door leads to the kitchen and dining table. You will also find a hallway leading to the first bathroom with a shower/tub, master suite, laundry area, a door to the patio, and a staircase.
Upstairs goes to the half bathroom and the two remaining bedrooms. Outside, our backyard has a table with four chairs and a BBQ grill.

Guest Access:
You will have access to the full house! The house has a digital combo lock pad. We will provide you with the code 24 hours upon check-in.

The Neighborhood:
East Lake Park is a 100-acre city park anchoring Birmingham 's North East Lake neighborhood, between 1st Avenue North and 3rd Court North and between 80th and 84th Street North. It adjoins Lynn Park across 4th Avenue North . The park was first developed in 1886 as a private attraction for the East Lake Land Company. This is a transitioning neighborhood. We think it is great, and have never had any security issues, but we understand that everyone has different experiences and want to make sure you are comfortable in our home. If you are concerned about the neighborhood, we would be happy to talk with you about it and answer any questions. We will not provide a refund upon arrival if you decide you do not like the area.

This is a residential area, so driving is recommended, but Uber and Lyft are available in Birmingham

There is a park across the street and lake to the right of our home. You can see the lake from kitchen window, back porch, and driveway. Neighbors house are really close and the back porch is next to neighbors house. There is a field to play soccer, throw football, ect. in front of the house. There is a baseball field to the right by the lake making this an excellent home for kids or for those who like to be active outdoors. This is a transitioning neighborhood.

We want to provide our guests with maximum privacy and flexibility, so we have check-in and check-out automated. We will call and touch base on the phone, and we can always have someone come and help if you need it, but otherwise, we will leave you and your friends and family to spend time together.

We had techs working in Alabama and Patriot homes worked with us to extend our stay repeatedly when we had to stay longer than we anticipated. They will work with you to get you what you need and usually are great at responding and answering when you call.

House was comfortable, neighborhood was in a rough part of town.
The property was clean, and large. Across from a park, but the neighborhood is the getto. It was the coldest part of the year, one day was 16 degrees. So no one was coming out of their houses. The security could be better, window a/c units, unlocked windows. Can see where the house would be hot in the summer. Little to no insulation. Water heater was not working, called/sent maintenance out to fix it. Power went out twice, blown transformer, toilet ran all the time, couple soft spots in flooring. At one point the house was 30 degrees inside. We still had a good time, I have a concern carry permit, recommended.

Highland dr instead
The tub didnt turn completely off so it was rough sleeping at night with the constant sound of water and i feel the cleanliness was not great. The front of the stove looked like toddlers used it to draw with food. We also had to figure a seperate way to get in(the backdoor) due to front door being chained when the family and i showed up in the dark with full hands after climbing the hill. We also couldn't park infront of the house upon arrival without having to ask the neighbors to move their vehicles. Overall for the price, last minute switch and it being a holiday not impressed.

Great Stay!
We really enjoyed our stay on this property. The house is really pleasant, modern and had enough room for our 3 families that stayed here for a basketball tournament. The ease of unlocking the property and communicating with the hosts were excellent. The house was clean...loved the working washer/dryer, kitchen items, the a/c unit, etc... Even though the neighborhood looks a little rough, the neighbors were kind and friendly.
