Beautiful place
The property was SPOTLESSLY clean. It was even more beautiful in person. The backyard was huge and the lights and fire pit were fantastic. It couldn’t have been a more perfect place to spend the weekend. The owners were quick to respond to questions and even brought a grill over for us to use. I would definitely stay here again.

Great long weekend
Had a great time visiting the campus. Did a bball game, stadium tour, baseball game, and campus tour. The house was in a great location for campus outings and we enjoyed the screen porch each day. Thanks to the hosts for also alerting us of a special lovey that was left and offering to send it home, we are VERY grateful!!

Lovely stay. Convenient and comfortable
We chose this accommodation to visit our daughter, a junior at Alabama, and to introduce our high school junior to a large university as she plans for college. The location was convenient and close to all the amenities we needed. The house easily accommodated several family dinners and game nights with my daughter, her roommate, and the four of us visiting. There was plenty of space for our family to spread out and also come together. It was generally quiet, except for some loud cheers during Alabama's Elite 8 victory! We highly recommend staying here, except on the weeks that we plan to come back and stay there!

Exceptional Property
This property is one mile from charming downtown Northport and super convenient to all things Tuscaloosa. It was a perfect place for our family to gather with our U of A student. Well appointed with thoughtful details and very clean. Loved the screened in porch with daybed swing for coffee in the mornings. So many positives to this property. Cannot think of one accommodation we did not have. Hope to rent again!

Thankful
We came to town for a funeral and just wanted a place where we could relax and feel at home while away from home. John and Sara Beth made our weekend just that! The home was the perfect location and size and had everything we needed and more. They went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and special and we will forever appreciate them for making our weekend the most stress free during such a difficult time. Thank you and God bless you!
