Stayed here with some friends when we came to town for a football game and couldn't have have a better time! This house is out in the middle of nowhere but only 15 minutes from town. Very peaceful and cozy. Lorrie the owner was very communicative and was very helpful from the moment we booked it. Will definitely be staying here again! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Angela A.

The location to both was perfect. Just out of the busyness of t-town but a quick drive back and forth. The house was clean, spacious and comfortable. The owner was very kind and responsive. I would stay again.Wonderful weekend! ##### Angela A. Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Dean W. Oct 31, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great Experience The house was better than the pictures show. Pictures are good but this is a nice place. Lori was a wonderful host and really made sure we had a great trip. We were there for the Bama game and this location was about 20 min from the stadium but that was actually nice so you could get out of the congestion if you wanted to so perfect location. If we ever get the chance to go back for another game, I will be staying at this location if its available. ##### Dean W. Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Aprylmae T. Dec 12, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Game Weekend Tuscaloosa during game weekends are very hard to come by and ultimately my husband and I are more city people but we could see the appeal to being able to wakeup and see the river in our backyard and the dears and their babies not to mention we were just 20min for University of Alabama, RTR 💁‍♀️ We would stay again ##### Aprylmae T.
