This house was perfect for graduation. We booked this house in March of 2024 for May 2025. Cissy, the host, did not over price the booking or cancel it to charge more. I highly recommend booking now for next May. The house has a wonderful backyard for grilling, playing games and relaxing by the fire. We did all of our cooking there and had everything we needed. The house is beautiful and every room is comfortable and quiet. It is close to the university and to grocery stores. It is a perfect house to have a family stay. Cissy & her husband checked in on us and even brought us ice! Great stay!
Fantastic VRBO with a hostess to match! Cissy was awesome from start to finish and the house was a perfect set up for Parent's Weekend and a Bama game! The pictures don't do the backyard justice. It is truly an entertaining paradise. We will be back and give it a 5-star rating all around!
Reserved the home for graduation to avoid the crowds and have room to cook and hang out with family and friends. Perfect setup for this and made the weekend stress free! Outdoor area is THE reason to reserve this property. Ample parking, quiet neighborhood but close to grocery and stores. Communication with the owners was as easy as a text. One note, the bedroom listed with a futon no longer has a futon.
House is perfect for family/group stay. We celebrated graduation. Outdoor entertaining area is amazing! 10 min from UA campus. House is very clean and host was responsive and helpful. Highly recommend.
My friends and I went to the Bama A-Day game. Beautiful house in a super nice neighborhood. Grocery store and shopping is very close. Outdoor space is great and really made the trip! ROLL TIDE!
We were in for parents weekend and had an amazing visit. House is beautiful and clean. Was able to relax on the back patio with our kids and enjoy everything about our visit.
House is just lovely inside, so comfortable and had everything we needed. The outside area is perfect for gathering with family and friends. We loved it!
Our hosts were very communicative and accommodating from start to finish! They reached out when we first booked, were quick to respond to any questions we had, and were able to accommodate our checkin and departure needs. The somewhat unassuming exterior hides a gorgeous, modern interior and stunning backyard entertaining area. The house is immaculate and extremely well-stocked, with everything you could need in the kitchen from a crockpot to a Keurig, plus a sweet treat left by our kind hosts. . The sunroom and patio area featuring TV’s and outside bar were quick favorites with our two families staying there, and made a lovely spot for our personal tailgate before the game (no fighting crowds!). The location is just about 10 mins to campus, where we parked and hopped on a shuttle to get to the game. This was a fantastic property and although I wish I could keep it my personal secret, I could not recommend it more! Especially after hearing of the many high prices and cancellation woes from other parents who booked hotels as far away as Birmingham, we felt extremely lucky to stay in this beautiful home, and would happily do so again.
This house is as advertised. Great neighborhood just 10min to campus. Awesome home inside and out. The outside patio is perfect for winding down after the game. Cissy is a very accommodating host and always accessible to answer any questions. Would definitely stay again!
This house has it all!!! We were so lucky to find such a wonderful house to stay in for our daughters College graduation that finally happened!! Roll Tide!! Our host Cissy was so very nice and so accommodating with all our changes we had to make! This house had it all! Backyard was awesome and so fun to hang out in! Thank you again Cissy for everything!!!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay for our daughters graduation! We had 9 people and there was plenty of room for all of us! We enjoyed a lot of Family Time hanging out in the backyard playing games and watching Sunday Football. We had the best accommodations and assistance from the host! The house was beautifully decorated for the holidays and was a pleasant touch to our stay! Would stay here again in a heartbeat!
This home is the best for a gameday visit. It has the coolest outdoor area with outdoor grill kitchen & bar, dining area & fire pit. Large tv is great & so are the outdoor lights. Corn hole is there, to. The only thing is that no one wants to leave to go to the actual game with this set up. CISSY the consulate host and anticipated our stay, down to the homemade cinnamon rolls. Thank you, Cissy, for sharing your home with us!!
We really loved the outdoor space and for that matter our group of 8 adults loved everything. Minor problem with a sink faucet and the owners had it replaced immediately. Great people to deal with a perfect spot for out of towners on a football weekend.

Fantastic place to stay in Tuscaloosa!
What a beautiful home! We really enjoyed our stay here. There's plenty of room for socializing with friends and family. The backyard especially is amazing - with a bar and a flat screen tv, lights, a cornhole setup, a slide/swing set! The host is very communicative and hospitable. It is also pretty close to campus/the stadium - a cheap Lyft ride away.

Thumbs up!
Our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
The house gave us an opportunity to be together vs separate hotel rooms -but also enough rooms if you needed privacy or separate space it was available.
