Graduation Weekend

The Property is very unique. Everything was as described and home was fully stocked. We especially loved the front porch. Our stay at the property was for our daughter's graduation from the University of Alabama in Tuscaloosa. This involved a little bit of extra driving, but we were able to fit the entire family in the house comfortably and affordably. We very much enjoyed our stay.

Fun, well decorated house

Nicely decorated, spacious house. Karaoke was a lot of fun for our family, and the salon room was a big hit with our daughters. Plenty of bedrooms and sleeping arrangements for everyone. The house's location is convenient, but not much of a residential area, or yard. It is an older house with some wear and tear, but the decorating and style were great. Host was a good communicator, and house was clean and tidy.

2/10 Terrible

Liked: Check-in, communication, location
There were a multitude of issues. It had pests and bugs in the house that ate through sealed food we had for Thanksgiving. The manager set traps immediately, but still did not help and trash bags were eaten through. Additionally, the refrigerator made this awful noise that a contractor came and said it needed to be replaced. The sink in the Glam room leaks and the oven door was missing a screw. Also, could not adjust the ceiling fans in the main bedroom and there was not a bedroom downstairs where my almost 80 year old sister could sleep. Problem with climbing stairs. The place has potential, but needs work. Great location for BHM.

SPACEOUS HOUSE W. EXTRAS but needs a good cleaning

The pros - The house was as advertised and slept plenty. The beds were comfortable. The karaoke room was fun and a neat feature of the home and the provided instructions made it easy to use. The kitchen had plenty of supplies and glass/dinnerware to make use of eating in. The Owner was easy to reach and responsive to questions or requests. The vanity room was a nice addition and made it easy for a handful of adults to get ready without needing to rotate the bathrooms. The cons - the house was not as clean as you would expect, especially for the price. The bathrooms, specifically floors and bath mats, were pretty nasty. The house sleeps 18 easily (though we only had 8) but there is limited seating in terms of the living spaces, at least in terms of comfort. The driveway is in bad shape and likely the original - nice aesthetic but our vehicle bottomed out every time we backed out. The front door knob/lock did not feel secure and should be updated. Lastly, the outdoor space had beer cans and cigarette butts left by previous guests. All things considered the house was large enough to house our group and after a good deep cleaning, would definitely be somewhere we would stay again.

Very large home with most things you need. Wish it had laundry room. Upstairs rooms on the warmer side but used fans to cool off more. Host very responsive. Karoake room semeed very cool but we didn't use it. Overall, good experience.

Incredible place for family gathering

We were in Birmingham to memorialize my father who possed earlier this month. It was so nice to stay in this beautiful home with my siblings and their families. It is so stylishly decorated and the beauty salon and karaoke were a huge hit with our teens. I hope we can stay here again in the future.

Centrally located and fun property for groups

This house is centrally located in Birmingham, and they’ve done a remarkable job renovating it. It was clean, had room for our 15 guests (wow!), and even a karaoke stage and system. The owners were also responsive and super helpful. A total value and I would stay here again when I’m back in town.
