On the River! Patio,Yard- Dozing at Dog River

Summary:
Welcome to Dozing on Dog River, a cozy cottage perfect for relaxation! Our 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home sleeps up to 10 and features multiple outdoor seating areas, a spacious front porch, a fully-equipped kitchen, oversized TV, and free WiFi. Enjoy nature’s serenity while being just 15 minutes from Downtown Mobile. For water lovers, a public boat ramp is only 5 minutes away. We've included professional photos and real-time images from our cleaning team for full transparency.

The Space:
**Please note that our private dock is currently unavailable for guest use as it is undergoing maintenance.**

Guest will enter the home through the front door on the porch. Once inside, you'll be greeted by the living room which features a queen sleeper-sofa, large TV and a cozy corner with extra chairs. Just past the living room is the dining room with seating for six with views of both the kitchen and the living room. The spacious kitchen features a full-size refrigerator, gas cooktop, oven, microwave and a bistro table with two chairs overlooking the backyard!

There are two bedrooms on the main level. The first is just off the front door and features a queen bed and ample closet space. The second bedroom also has a queen bed and access to the patio and backyard.There is a fireplace in the bedroom, however, it is not operational. You'll find the remaining beds downstairs. Please note that the steps to the basement are steep. We have left a set of bells on the door for those who wish to be alerted when the door is opened for safety. There are four twin beds downstairs and ample space for blow-up mattresses should you choose to bring one!

Don't forget to checkout the backyard, where you will find multiple outdoor spaces! There is a private patio off the second bedroom and a larger patio area off the basement! We do not have a boat ramp, but there is a public boat ramp 5 mins away!

Pet-friendly with fee.

***A pack 'n play/travel crib is available upon request.***

Guest Access:
The house has a digital keypad at the front door which will provide you access to the house. The code will be provided upon check-in. You will have full and private access to the home. Please be aware that this home has two parking pads, but there is no street parking available.

The Neighborhood:
Our home is nestled in a quiet, rural area of Mobile, just off Dog River. You'll be less than 10 minutes away from local favorites like McNally Park, The River Shack, and Grand Mariner, making it the perfect spot for a peaceful yet convenient stay.

Uber, Lyft, and other Taxi available, but driving is encouraged!

Other Things to Note:
***A pack 'n play/travel crib is available upon request.***

Please note: as this house is on the river, sometimes we get water in the basement during torrential rainstorms. We are actively working on a solution.

We hope you will enjoy our rural and cozy home on the river as much as we do! We frequently see all kinds of wildlife on our property, which is a huge part of our love for the area. It is not uncommon to see rabbits, deer, snakes, mosquitos (and all other types of insects), lizards, spiders, possums, frogs, and maybe even a raccoon or two. If any of this makes you uncomfortable, we recommend finding accommodations elsewhere :).
This is an older home with all the quirks of an older home. We love our house and have devoted ourselves to making it clean, comfortable, and unique for our guests. If you are looking for a brand new luxury experience, our home might not be for you.

We require a signed rental agreement and for guest to be 25 years of age to book.

If you notify us of your intent to cancel prior to the lapse of the free cancellation period, we will return 97% of your payment. The other 3% will already have been collected by the credit card processing company, and we have no way to return that portion of the payment.

We are a pet friendly home. Pets must be crated when they are left unattended in the home. We do not allow pets on furniture or beds, and all waste must be cleaned up from the yard. All pets require a non-refundable pet fee. If there is evidence of pet hair on the furniture, excess hair in the home, stains, or waste found in the yard or home, you will be charged the cost to clean this. In the event that a security deposit is collected, we will retain all or part of the security deposit to cover any costs associated with additional cleaning due to pets.

More than what I expected
It had more to offer than what the pictures showed. Quiet neighborhood, plenty of privacy, comfortable and clean, and with a great view. The dock was taped off and awaiting repairs, but it did not affect the view at all! Hands down a great bargain and worth more than what I paid!

The property was quiet. The only improvement is the thermostat. Sometimes the house would get warm, but it probably had a lot to do with I did not know how to use that type of thermostat. I had never seen that thermostat before.

Our Visit
Size was nice, but the promotion of the patio, dock, etc. was not what was expected. It was pretty rough. There was no gas for the grill, the TVs had no channels, the kitchen had no dish towels, spatulas, pitchers. Older couple could not shower as the upstairs tub was too deep, the downstairs was to hard to access. We did have enough space for 6 adults and loved the kitchen window overlooking the back yard.

We were in town for a funeral and we’re all relieved to arrive after 10+ hours of driving. Pros: The location was quiet, clean and the beds were comfortable. Check in went smoothly, though I wasn’t thrilled with their insistence that I send them a selfie of me holding my ID after they’d already charged my card. Cons: while the entire place was very clean, the basement area reeked of very strong bleach smell. The one person that slept down there the first night ended up getting nausea and slept on the floor upstairs the next night. The only bathroom upstairs can only be accessed by passing through one of the two primary bedrooms. One door between the bathroom and bedroom is a folding door and has clear glass through which the people in the bedroom can clearly see anyone in the bathroom. I highly recommend that these doors be replaced or altered to increase the privacy element. The refrigerator wasn’t making ice so bring your own if necessary.

Felt like home
The house was very clean and well decorated. But the beds and how comfortable they were was the best part of our stay.

Poor property management.
Did not feel the property had been properly set up for renters. Door lock presented a problem that resulted in a call to mgt. Icemaker not working resulting in a call to mgt and was told it was disconnected due to a known leaking issue that was not addressed nor disclosed in the listing info. No ice cube trays provided. Area rug in living room presents a tripping hazard due to worn and curled edges. Beds on main floor uncomfortable for sleeping due to heavy duty plastic mattress covers with no padding between plastic cover and thin sheets. Areas of carpet very dirty. Pot and bowl put up dirty. Need better supply of cooking pots and pans, particularly skillets. No renter manual present to give info such as TV usuage, etc. No access to main floor bedroom closet for use due to it being locked. The other main floor bedroom closet was available but the floor space was taken up with a large footstool, upright vaccum leaving no access for use by the renter. Outdoor furnishings in need of attention and cleaning.. Overall, the outdoor area needs attention in upkeeping and maintenance. This rental could be a charming cottage but currently lacks in owner/management care, interior and exterior, that would make it a welcoming environment.

Not The Best Experience
This property is not a bad stay. The house was clean and there is plenty of parking. The issue here is the management company. We were locked out of the house for almost 3 hours at night and the company was inefficient at solving the problem. Communication with the company was also very inconsistent. I would be wary of renting from this company.
