Perfect Location and Gracious Host

I needed to be in the area for work and wanted an alternative to driving back and forth to the Birmingham hotels each day. I'm so glad that I found this cottage to rent as a much better alternative. The cottage is a cozy two bedroom with plenty of space to spread out in. Since I was working, I needed a place I could bring my equipment in each day as well as a good internet connection. This space suited my needs very well for this. Although I didn't have time to enjoy the lovely river setting or take advantage of the outdoors sitting and gathering area, it was beautiful and peaceful and definitely a place to sit, relax, and enjoy the riverbank. April was a fantastic host and I was impressed with her attention to detail. Unlike many VRBO hosts, April included the extra things that others don't' bother to include. Dish and Laundry soap, paper towels, shampoo, and etc. She was always very quick to respond to questions and to accommodate our needs. I would highly recommend her cottage and I won't hesitate to come back and stay again in the future!

Peace on the river

In the area to run the Pinhoti 100 (Heflin to Sylacauga) and needed a nice, quite place to relax pre-race and recharge afterwards. Perfect spot and the host couldn't have been nicer. The house was incredibly clean and well furnished, and the river-front property made for a very peaceful setting. Thanks so much!

Relaxing Home Away from Home

Our family stayed here while our kids were out of school on fall break. The place was immaculately clean when arrived and the hosts even left a little bucket of snacks to welcome us. They were very responsive when we had questions. This cottage was right on the water and had a wonderful fire pit that we enjoyed roasting s’mores at. We visited Majestic Caverns and the Blue Bell Creamery while we were here. We had a FANTASTIC stay and made some great family memories! Thank you for a great vacation rental experience!!

Wonderful stay

We had a wonderful experience from the start. Communication with April was easy and she answered all the questions I had promptly. As soon as we arrived everything was perfect. The house is the cleanest VRBO home I’ve ever stayed in and the little welcoming details added a lot to our stay. Thank you April and we will return soon.

Peaceful Getaway

We truly enjoyed our weekend baseball getaway! This place was clean and quiet with great access to recreation. We were playing baseball in Hoover and this retreat offered much more than a hotel room, with cleanliness and lots of amenities including kayaks and convenient water access for kayaking and fishing opportunities. We will definitely be back when we are in Hoover again...this time we will bring our fishing boat, as there is a public access ramp right at the property. The owners were super helpful and communicated well. Everything was super simple and we really enjoyed our stay!

Prefect Location

This rental was the perfect location for getting to Red Eagle and to Selwood Farm for my sons SCTP tournament. We loved being right on the water in our boat and the kids loved the kayaks. Owners were super sweet and had a little welcome basket on the kitchen counter. We would stay here again for sure.

Great family get-away!

Perfect for our family of six. Very nice and CLEAN! Lots of fun things to do for all ages. Large yard, water front, fire pit with plenty of seating, kayaks, fishing, cornhole, lots of board games, and more. We had a blast. Kitchen and bathrooms were fully stocked with anything you could need. Property owners were very nice and responded immediately to any requests. Highly recommend this stay and we definitely plan to return if they will have us again! :)

Zero complaints, flawless lodging

This property was so well maintained and visitor ready, it blew me away! No detail was forgotten, there were rag towels for messy accidents, extra fans, blackout/light blocking window treatments, ziploc bags for snacks, the time and effort they put in for guests at this cottage was evident. It was cleaner than most any hotel I've stayed in around the world. Killer, killer spot, I will return!

Clean cottage and located close to restaurants.

The cottage is right beside the boat ramp which made it an excellent access to get on the lake. The lake is beautiful. Look forward to returning.The host contacted me a couple of times just making sure we didn't need anything, which I thought was nice.
