We really enjoyed our stay here for parents weekend. The property manager was very helpful with the one issue we had (coffee maker). Super clean, plenty of room for family, and dog friendly. Willd definitely stay here again and would recommended to anyone coming to Tuscaloosa. We were about 8 minutes from the stadium by car for reference to campus.

Thank you for your wonderful review. We are happy you enjoyed your stay. We appreciate you bringing the coffee pot to our attention, this is important to us and want to make sure your stay is perfect. We hope to have you back soon!
The host was welcoming and the house was clean, comfortable, and perfect for our stay. We enjoyed the gane room with our kids (9, 14, and 15yo), and now our 9yo wants a ping pong table at our house lol!

Thank you for the great review! We are so happy you enjoyed our home!
Great property, great location! Very family friendly, the backyard is ideal for kids of all ages (even the adult ones), and a produce stand at the end of the street was a bonus.

Thank you Kelly, we are happy you enjoyed your stay.
We stayed here while visiting my daughter for parents weekend. The home was close to campus in a quiet neighborhood. We found the home to be very clean and with all the amenities we needed.

Thank you for the review, we hope to host you again soon!
We enjoyed our stay here. It's such a cute house. It's located in a quiet area & is close to campus. It was comfortable, clean & had plenty of room. We appreciated having the fenced in back yard since we traveled with our dogs. The host was very responsive & helpful. We would definitely recommend to others & would stay here again.

Thank you for your kind words, we look forward to your return!
Great location! Close to all the activities for an Alabama game! We came to see our beloved UW Badgers play Univ of Alabama. Although we lost, we had a fabulous time in ‘Bama! House was perfect for our group & very clean & welcoming! We very much enjoyed our weekend and time in Alabama and at the Crimson Cottage!
House was perfect, well laid out and stocked with all the necessities. Plenty of room for our graduation celebration. House was clean and comfy for our family

Brian,
Thank you for the great review. We hope to be able to host you and your family soon!
Stayed for 12 days while visiting our UA students. Perfect for our needs. Great back yard/fire pit/game room area. Convenient to campus and the cute downtown Northport.
We have stayed at this home several times over the last several years to visit our son and his family. The property was sold recently and there was some transition that had to happen with Vrbo. Both the old owner and new owner reached out to me to help with that transition.
Communications was great.
Also, Kane honored my requests to have a blender in the kitchen, additional wash cloths in the bathroom and to remove Fabreze pods from the outlets. He was very nice to accommodate these requests. I will continue to stay at this home. It is the perfect location being close to our son in Northport and the home suits our needs.
I am from Northern California, our son attends the University of Alabama and we fell in love with being a part of the community. Roll Tide is a way of life that we have embraced in the family and love every minute of it. We decided to be a host so we could help provide a great experience for others looking to attend The University of Alabama and for those that want to enjoy the most Amazing experience of SEC Football!
