The perfect retreat! Tucked away on a private lane, 15min to downtown Fairhope.
This home is the perfect combination of cozy rural beauty and convenient access to downtown Fairhope and the rest of the Eastern Shore. It is located at the end of private lane on a one acre lot backing up to natural forest. A pleasant and restful retreat for a family or couple to relax and/or explore the local area. The rear screened in porch is perfect to view the lush and shady yard which has two private driveways for easy parking. The house itself sleeps 7 comfortably with all new furniture throughout. The kitchen has all you will need for home cooking, but many restaurants are also in close vicinity. Wireless internet, new TVs with Roku devices, and washer and dryer are also provided for your convenience. We hope that the John Deere House will be an excellent home base that you will love during your stay in Fairhope.

We very much enjoyed this property and would stay here again. The house was exceptionally clean and stocked with all the things we needed. I cannot think of anything that would have made our stay any better. We loved it!
This home and property were beyond my expectations. The home was very clean, maintained and well stocked with everything needed. The property feels as though you're miles from everything yet you're only minutes away from
The location is excellent for us... we have a 13-year-old Border Collie rescue and he really enjoys walking in the area.... quiet for him and few less distractions.. The VRBO is truly home away from home for us
We had a great stay and enjoyed the seclusion. The minor thing was we didn’t have the passcode to get in. I called the owner and gave to me. He started that the code should have emailed to me the day before.

Me and my family loved the home. It was very nice and quiet!
Our youngest son got married on November 30th. This was perfect location to get to venues and gather any last minute items. The home was beautiful! The host were wonderful! We enjoyed staying here!!
Beautiful, peaceful property. Eveything we needed with lots of space. Home was very clean and exactly as described in listing. Owner was responsive and check in/out instructions were quick and easy. I would recommend this property and hope to stay again in the future.
Property was a lovely place to walk into after a long day of travel. Nice yard, great screened porch, covered parking. Extremely well stocked for basic needs.
This is definitely a great place to stay and extremely clean. We did a girls trip and it was very comfortable for us and you are close to downtown Fairhope. There was 6 of us, we enjoyed the property very pretty and the house was great for playing games, sitting on the porch, watching tv, and just relaxing. Also a big plus there is plenty of lighting in the yard.
John Deere Cottage was more than we expected.
Clean, cold AC, top notch appliances and fantastic host.
Such an easy process, stay here, you’ll be glad to did.
