About the host
Your host
Hi there! I’m the owner and operator of a short-term rental business built around one simple goal: making guests feel right at home. I absolutely love what I do — especially designing spaces that are clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully stocked for a five-star stay.
When I’m not hosting, you’ll find me spending time with my family, hanging out with my dogs, experimenting in the kitchen, or unwinding with a good video game. I’m all about the little details and genuinely enjoy helping people have the best stay possible.
Travel plays a big part in my life, too — from honeymooning in Iceland, to exploring Mexico, to visiting family in Orlando and Gulf Shores. I know what it feels like to have an amazing stay, and that’s exactly the experience I aim to deliver to every guest.
If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to reach out. I’m happy to help and excited to host you!
Why they chose this property
The 86th Street Retreat was designed with gathering in mind—from slow mornings in the kitchen to relaxed evenings around the table, both inside and out. The marble kitchen and oversized island create a natural place to come together, whether you're cooking, sharing meals, or simply lingering a little longer in good company.
What really sets this space apart is the balance it offers. Inside, you’ll find comfort and thoughtful design across multiple sleeping areas, making it easy for groups or families to spread out while still feeling connected. Outside, the covered picnic-style dining area extends that experience, giving you a place to enjoy meals, conversation, and fresh air without ever needing to leave home.
Its location adds another layer—just minutes from Ruffner Mountain for those who want a bit of nature, while still being close enough to downtown Birmingham to explore restaurants, coffee shops, and local spots with ease.
It’s the kind of place that isn’t just somewhere to stay—it’s somewhere to settle in, connect, and actually enjoy your time together.

Whether you're prepping meals or just catching up over coffee, it’s a space that naturally brings people together.
The covered outdoor picnic-style dining area adds something you don’t find in every home. It extends your living space outside, giving you a comfortable spot to enjoy meals, relax, or unwind in the fresh air—rain or shine. Paired with a fenced backyard, it offers both privacy and room to spread out.
Inside, the variety of sleeping arrangements makes this home especially well-suited for groups and families. With a mix of king, queen, and additional beds, everyone has a place to settle in comfortably without feeling crowded.
And with Ruffner Mountain just minutes away, you have easy access to one of Birmingham’s most unique outdoor experiences—perfect for guests who want a balance of nature, space, and city convenience.
