Great place to stay while visiting family and friends

The property was immaculately clean. It was well stocked and perfectly sized for 2 adults and our small dog. We were mostly out with friends and family but it was perfect for sleeping (comfy bed), showering and morning coffee and tv. Communications were amazing, check in and out was easy. No hassles and met every need. We would stay again in the future!

Great first visit!!!

This was my family first visit to Alabama, and I must say it was a great experience. The cabin was everything the description said it was and more My son was extremely impressed with the loft style space where he slept. And the fact that he could bring his emotional support dog was a the most important part. Everything was neat and clean also. We also received some great recommendations on places to eat and activities to do I must say we would stay here again definitely!

Quick Getaway

The stay in this unit was great! It had all the necessities needed to cook a meal. It was very clean and updated. I would only recommend having two extra stools to have the ability to sit and have a meal around the counter. Also, the mattress was really hard, but that is a matter of preference since my husband loved the hardness of the mattress. In all, I would definitely stay here again if I were in the area.

Great Getaway!

This place was super cute and cozy! They thought of everything and I was grateful for the “little things!” For example, the lighter that was provided for the grill because I forgot mine, the K-pods for the Keurig because I had only brought coffee for a pot, having your place stocked with toilet paper, soaps/shampoo and conditioner, providing towels and washcloths…not one thing that I lacked for! I even forgot my toothbrush. I looked under the bathroom cabinet and lo and behold, a bathroom basket with anything you may have forgotten! We enjoyed our stay and appreciate the thoughtfulness and the quick responses! There is a DG nearby, we fished from the Freedom Marine pier in a pretty little park and we traveled to Bama Bucks on our trip, which we enjoyed so much!Thank you for a great getaway!!

Our tiny home was very clean and comfortable. The bed was probably the most comfortable I have ever had. The only criticism was the ceiling fan in the main bedroom was only available on high speed, because there was no chain to adjust speed. Maybe a remote-controlled fan would be a better option. Only wish would be a little bigger sofa for seating, if possible, for those rainy days. But I have to say we were very impressed with the quality of this tiny home and the location. A lot of pride has gone into these little gems!
