About this property

The Gathering House- Groups/Backyard Retreat/Grill

Welcome to The Gathering House—a place made for connection, comfort, and slowing down just enough to enjoy the people you came with.

Tucked into a quiet corner of Birmingham’s Roebuck area, this single-level home invites you in with ease—from the ramped entry to the simple convenience of a digital keypad. Step inside and you’ll find a space that feels both open and intentional, where mornings start with coffee at the table and evenings wind down together on the couch.

To your right, the living room offers a cozy place to gather—complete with a sleeper sofa, two armchairs, and a Smart TV ready for movie nights or catching up after a long day. Just across the way, a small office nook provides a quiet spot for journaling, remote work, or a moment to yourself.

The kitchen sits just beyond, fully equipped for everything from quick breakfasts to shared dinners. A dining table for four keeps things intimate, while the nearby living space makes it easy for everyone to stay connected, even while meals are in motion.

This home comfortably sleeps up to 12 guests, making it ideal for families, small groups, or anyone traveling together. The layout offers both togetherness and privacy:

– A peaceful king suite sits just off the living room, complete with its own ensuite bathroom and a shower/tub combination
– Two additional bedrooms each feature full beds—simple, comfortable, and restful
– A spacious bunk room with two twin-over-twin bunk beds creates the perfect setup for kids, cousins, or friends who don’t mind sharing stories long after lights out
– A second full bathroom, also with a shower/tub combo, is conveniently located between the additional bedrooms

Out back, you’ll find a roomy deck with outdoor dining and a charcoal grill—just right for slow evenings, grilled dinners, and fresh air. The yard is open and spacious, offering room to stretch out, though it is not fully fenced.

Practical touches make your stay easy: onsite laundry, free WiFi, and a fully furnished setup so you can settle in right away. Both entrances offer ramp access, making the home more accessible for guests who need it.

Located just minutes from I-59, I-459, and the airport, you’ll have quick access to everything Birmingham has to offer—while still enjoying a quieter place to land at the end of the day.

We’ve included both professional and real-time photos from our cleaning team so you know exactly what to expect—no surprises, just a stay that feels as welcoming as it looks.

Whether you're here for a weekend, a work trip, or time with the people who matter most, The Gathering House is ready to host you.

I would not stay at this property again. The house was advertised to sleep 12, but that’s not realistic. We had 10 people, and it only worked because several shared beds. The pull‑out couch had only a bottom sheet and there were no extra sheets or blankets anywhere in the house, so it wasn’t usable. None of the beds had top sheets, and I wasn’t confident the blankets were washed. We also found an acrylic nail in one of the beds.The house was only surface‑cleaned. Bathrooms were wiped down but had hair in the corners. The kitchen had dishes but only two spoons for a group our size.A major concern was the condition of the deck and wheelchair ramp. The original decking was rotted, and untreated plywood had been laid over it. The plywood was already warped and lifting, and walking on it felt unstable. As a craftsman, it was clear the ramp should have been replaced long ago. It would be unsafe for anyone using a wheelchair.The location was convenient, but the neighborhood felt questionable. The house across the street had people partying all night, and at 7am there were individuals visibly drunk or high in the yard.Between the cleanliness issues, lack of bedding, misleading sleeping capacity, and the unsafe ramp, I wouldn’t return.

About the host

Your host

Host profile image
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 Gathering House was designed with one thing in mind—bringing people together without sacrificing comfort or ease. With a thoughtful single-level layout, ramp access at both entrances, and space for up to 12 guests, it’s a home that works for a wide range of groups and needs.

The split-bedroom setup gives you the best of both worlds: a private king suite for quiet retreat, and additional rooms—plus a bunk room—that make sharing space feel natural and fun. Whether it’s family, friends, or coworkers, everyone has a place to land.

You’ll also appreciate the practical touches that make a stay smoother: a fully equipped kitchen, onsite laundry, fast WiFi, and simple keypad entry for stress-free check-in. Outside, the spacious deck and grill create an easy setting for winding down together after a full day.

And when it’s time to head out, you’re just minutes from I-59, I-459, and the airport—making arrival, departure, and getting around Birmingham refreshingly convenient.

It’s comfortable, accessible, and designed for real life—exactly the kind of place that makes gathering feel effortless.
