Bama weekend

The house is comfortable, inviting and spotless. Great hospitality, definitely welcoming. Beautiful, quiet, relaxing setting. Unfortunately for us, we didn't check the distance to/from Bryant Denny Stadium. But absolutely enjoyed staying at the Bama Gathering Place.

Wonderful Experience

We enjoyed an extended weekend at this property. Everything was exactly as it is pictured, and the house was equipped with everything that my family needed. We loved the peacefulness of the property. My children and dogs enjoyed the huge yard space to run around. Everything was extremely clean and beautifully decorated. Julie was extremely responsive and helpful with any questions that we had. We loved it!
