• Quirky in Birmingham

  5/5

  We appreciated how clean and well stocked the house was. Even though it was old, it had all the amenities needed and loaded with charm.

  Thank you, Denise, for your stay and kind words about our historic home. We’re so glad to hear you appreciated all the old “charm” we strove to restore to the house while we were renovating it. We decorated the home with artistic touches like marble tile for the upstairs bathroom with the claw-foot tub and uncovered many layers of wallpaper, dating back to the Art Deco era of the 1910’s, and preserved that under varnish. The spacious kitchen and downstairs bathroom are more colorful and were inspired by the owners’ background in art, particularly with the mosaic-tiled bath surround. And yes, we take great pride in making the house comfortable with all the amenities you’d expect from a newer home. Y’all were great guests, and we would love to host your family again!

• Eclectic style, lots of space!!

  5/5

  We were initially hesitant upon our arrival but any concerns quickly evaporated. Our host was great and very responsive. This place was SO well stocked with most anything you could need! It even had a Traeger pellet grill!! We appreciated the space available for our family and everyone had a super comfy bed! Not only that but king sized beds!! We enjoyed our stay and were very pleased.

  Artistic touches throughout. Our family appreciated the gathering spaces, inside and out. Fabulous access to the airport. Good value for our family of six. Each member remarked how much they enjoyed the home. Thank you!

  From the owner: "Cindy, thank you for staying with us and for your wonderful review. We work so hard to make our home and garden, and relaxation spaces unique, and it gives us great pleasure to share them with visiting families and friends. Decorating the home with antiques and finding the right architectural materials for the period when the house was built, while restoring it to its 1910s grandeur, is something we take great pride in, and are so glad that those details are appreciated!"

• Ultimate Quaint Comfort Experience

  5/5

  This historic home is renovated and has definite artistic flair all throughout the house, with modern comfort (like a/c units) throughout. If you are like me and absolutely love imagining being in the past, with original wood floors and doors (I think?) but still having 21st century plumbing, this home is a delight. Clearly someone with a fun artsy vibe has also added colorful tiles in the kitchen and downstairs bathroom, which was great. Another part of our group stayed in a more modern, typical luxury home, but I was ecstatic to stay in this one instead. Every corner of the house has thoughtful, intriguing decor and feels like a window into Birmingham's old Southern charms.

  From the owner: "We're so glad you enjoyed your stay and took notice of all the little details we never expected others to notice. Most doors are original, but we had to find some that match the same period. The pine floors are 112 years old and were lovingly refinished and yep, the plumbing and heating and air units and ductwork are all new. We are so honored to share our home with you all"
