We had a great stay for our visit to UA for Homecoming. The house was very clean and the property manager was very helpful with any questions and needs we had.
I chose this property for a corporate meeting for my sales team of 11 people. It was everything we could have hoped for in a property. This place is my number one pick in the state for my meetings from now on.
We stayed for about a week, and can’t say enough good things about it. The house and host over exceeded our expectations. Very helpful and attentive host, pool was cleaned and chemical levels checked regularly. They let us know before coming by to do so. House has every amenity you’ll need. No need to bring anything, they have it all! You will be happy you booked this gorgeous and spacious home!
This place was awesome. All the children enjoyed it so very much. The owners responded to my text and even came out to check the pool. We had a great time and enjoyed it so very much.
We stayed over graduation weekend. Drive to campus was only 18 minutes. The house is beautiful and very spacious. Pool is great.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We have rented over a dozen different properties over the years and this one was the BEST. Staff was extremely helpful with booking, and swearing questions very promptly and very kind and attentive. I typically pack a bin of my “must haves” for food prep and did not need to bring any of them. This house fleas fully equipped and then some! We had 14 people, our 4 daughters and their spouses and 4 granddaughters. There was plenty of room for everyone. Ending each evening down by the lake on the swings roasting s’mores was a highlight as well as the huge pool with plenty of umbrellas for shade. We will be back!!!

Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our family of 16 enjoyed the property. We all had some private space and a large space to gather as a family. The home is situated on a small lake with lovely views from the property. The home was well appointed with many many items to help make a short stay have the conveniences of home. It is about 25 minutes in traffic to downtown Tuscaloosa and the U of A. We were so lucky to have the weather on our side so we could enjoy the pool, small kayaks and the outside play area. There were toys for the outdoor pool that they heated for us for a small fee and pool and air hockey tables inside.The manager/owner responded promptly to our requests when we had issues and questions. We all felt that the rules and consequences were excessive and made us uncomfortable , but, the manager explained that the City of Tuscaloosa has placed many restrictions on short term rentals. Overall, it was a fun weekend with many memorable moments with the grandchildren snd our adult children and their spouses.
Rating Details: The property manager was very unhelpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was somewhat unhappy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Awful - her contract doesn’t make sense, but you have to sign it. You’ll have to name all guests and tell her where they plan to sleep, then you’ll have to agree to excessive policies that threaten extra charges, ensure multiple signs in the home that threaten extra charges while you’re there. She’ll send unannounced strangers into the home where your children are playing and have her husband stop by daily to “check on the pool” and police your activity. People like this shouldn’t rent out their homes.
