Family Christmas—All together!!
We had a fantastic time during our stay at your Northwood Lake Retreat!!There were a couple of issues but the host (Tanner) was great to work with and was very responsive to our requests/needs and he made everything right. The space was beautifully updated and we very much enjoyed our stay. It was perfect for us to have all three of our adult kids stay with us (including their significant others) and my elderly mother and all the family pets. Thank you for having a space where we could all stay together.

Beautiful Setting!
Found out at the last minute we had to work in Tuscaloosa during the biggest game weekend of the year. We found Northwood Retreat and were lucky we did! House looks brand new! Tanner answered all our questions and check-in was super easy. Wish we’d been able to truly enjoy the serene setting on the lake!
