The fire pit behind the cabin is the perfect spot to gather around and relax in the beauty of nature. If you're lucky you'll get to hear the owls that nest on the property having their evening conversations.

Fun Alabama themed hone
If your looking for a comfortable place to stay while in Tuscaloosa this is your place. We have never seen so many Alabama themed items in a home before. With the sky high prices of hotel rooms during game weekends this is a much better option for 5 or 6 people. Thank you Brenda

Tropical Paradise is not a paradise.
Location/early check in great. UA decor everywhere. VRBO photos don't show house is old, VERY outdated and unkept. NO HOT WATER: even with efforts from owner, neighbor and plumber to fix it, the hot water heater was broken for most of our Thursday-Sunday stay. Owner kindly refunded half of our cost for inconvenience. After our arrival and upon our request, owner cleaned, (using baby wipes), refrigerator and dishwasher. Later we found freezer, microwave, dishes, silverware, etc. dirty . We used the generous supply of plasticware and paper products. Bought ice as freezer was dirty. Bought vinegar to clean Keurig and did not use moldy filter. Broken window blinds, creased curtains right out of the packaging, peeling paint around windows and doors, broken dresser knobs, dirty wet towels stuffed in a BR closet, paint spots on floor and sink in MBR, no hangers or hanging bars in 2 of 3 closets, LR furniture stained, front door would not shut tight. Not as advertised and certainly not like any VRBO property we have experienced. Will not stay here again.

Graduation weekend
Easy location to get back and forth to the campus and stores/ restaurants. The property is very spacious and can accommodate a large group and the house is fully decorated with great Bama gear! The host was very nice and helpful. I would recommend staying here. Roll Tide

Great place for football weekend
House was perfect for us and close to campus. Unbelievable amount of Alabama Crimson tide decorations around the house which make game weekends very fun. Location was great...would highly recommend for families attending Alabama football games or just visiting their kids attending school there

Enjoyed the stay
Good location, easy access to highways that take you to University of Alabama. Plenty of space to stretch out and everything you need to hang out for a few days. It’s on a main road but was still quiet. It has a full kitchen but we didn’t use it. Overall it met our needs for a long weekend just fine.

Great stay!
We enjoyed our stay and the owner was great to work with. Overall, the house was cute and great for a weekend getaway. The house was a bit dirty - the bathroom sinks/counter needed cleaning, floors needed vacuuming. Regardless, the house and our stay was good.

Game Day Getaway
We had a great weekend here! Everything was exactly as described. The location was wonderful - a quick drive to campus and it was near restaurants/grocery stores. We had plenty of room for our group. The beds and couches were comfortable and we felt right at home. The owner was very responsive to questions and great to deal with. We really enjoyed our stay. Roll Tide!!!

Great Place to Stay When in Town!
This house was great! The décor is outstanding and the location is even better. Only negative we had while staying here is the bedroom in the back had a bed that was on crates and it was cumbersome. Also the cleaning could have been a little more thorough. All and all this is a great place to stay especially for Bama fans or anyone staying to go to a game. Highly recommended!

Excellent location to Campus and Stadium and comfortable Beds
We recently visited Tuscaloosa for a football game. Four adults stayed in this home and were very pleased with the stay. Most important, plenty roomy and comfortable beds. It was nice having a full kitchen to prepare breakfast before we ventured out. There are loads of great places to eat nearby as well as grocery stores and everything else you may need. The easy trip to the campus makes this a great location to stay even on crowded game days. It was a nice touch having a welcome box of fresh Crispy Creme donuts there for us on arrival. Would recommend and we hope to stay there again on our next trip to Tuscaloosa

Great location and a comfortable stay
This house was perfect for our family for graduation weekend - the location was close enough to campus to be convenient, with easy access to the highway and restaurants and grocery stores. Having 1.5 baths worked well for five people, and the kitchen had almost everything we needed. It was too chilly to use the large deck while we were there, but this house is great for entertaining, with more Alabama details than I would have imagined possible. Brenda is very friendly as well, so we felt welcomed and comfortable. The only challenge we had was that the wi-fi was not great - none of our phones could stay connected for long- but we weren't there for work and didn't need to stream anything, so we were fine. I'm only saying something so that future renters aren't frustrated if they need fast internet.

Very quite and easy to get downtown and to the game
This is a three bedroom house in a quite neighborhood just outside of Tuscaloosa. We enjoyed our stay. Brenda, the owner, is very easy to work with. It's only a five to ten minute drive to downtown Tuscaloosa or the stadium depending on traffic. We would stay here again.
