There is a hanging on their wall which sums up the purpose and our experience of this home and garden. “I want to live by the side of the road and be a friend to man.” The response to our questions were immediate and kind. Perfect location to the University and then a place to escape and unwind.
Nice place for a big family. Had everything we needed. Easy to get to UA area. Would stay again

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a party of 7 who all thouroughly enjoyed the rich history of the home. Stained glass, wood floors, whimsical decor, a total peace filled package. The unique fire pit was ready to use and we did. Chatting about the game and enjoying each others company following the game. Great memories!!
My family stayed at the Firefly Garden during Alabama’s Parent’s weekend. The location was great, and communication was easy. The house is super cute, warm, cozy, and inviting. There are lovely gardens and walkways surrounding the property... with a host of butterflies to greet you. The fire pit was a huge hit! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and highly recommend ….Roll Tide!
We stayed for our son's Graduation weekend and loved every minute. The pictures honestly don't do the outside space/porch and gardens justice....it was just perfect and beautiful and we plan on coming back when our family team joins the SEC for football weekends!
