Retro Charming!

We were in town for the Barber Vintage Festival. Location was perfect for an easy and scenic ride to the park. Nice, quiet, established middle class neighborhood, with mature trees and friendly neighbors. House was exactly as described, comfortable, clean, tastefully furnished and exactly what we were looking for. Convenient shopping at Walmart and Winn Dixie nearby, lots of upscale restaurants too. For a family stay, it was perfect!

The house was awesome for what we needed for family coming to town for a surprise engagement party. Was plenty of room for 7 adults. Beds were comfortable. The 2 bathrooms were a plus! Plenty of parking for 5 cars on driveway and in front of house.Loved sitting out on covered front porch but also had fire pit out back. Communication was prompt with Nick. Would stay again for sure!

Great house and perfect for the whole family

We decided to stay here while visiting for a baseball tournament for my oldest son in Hoover. I cannot say enough great things about the hosts of this property as well as the home itself. The location was so convenient to so many areas of Birmingham and Hoover. We were so grateful they allowed pets, so we could bring our 2 dogs. The fenced in yard was perfect for them to have some oustside time. The house itself is tastefully decorated and fit us perfectly…right down to all the games provided in the garage area. This property and its hosts are 10/10!! Will stay here again!
