We just needed a night off the highway. This place was just the thing. It is bigger than we needed, but affordable. There are currently two houses at the turn we took and it took us a bit to figure out which one it was. We enjoyed the decor, watched a movie and found everything we needed to make our stay comfortable. Beds were nice!

The house was decked out for Christmas, had everything we needed, and was very comfortable for my big family. The host was responsive and helpful. It was less than 20 minutes to the University of Alabama campus. Would be a great stay if going to campus to visit your kids or come to a game.

Our host, Daniel, was very thoughtful and accommodating. The home was clean and provided enough room for us to be spread out. Beds were comfortable which is always a plus for me. Twenty minutes from the football stadium.

We arrived around 10pm and had no issues with the host, however the photos online are very deceiving. Upon entering the house, there was a weird moldy smell. The kitchen we killed a hornet and 3 roaches within the first 20 minutes of being there. None of us even took a shower due to the way the tub looked and it just wasn’t as described. I barely slept due to the fact I kept waking up because I would hear a door slam or somebody else out the window. It was very strange and the taxidermy maybe that is for somebody they love taxidermy stuff, but that is just not my style and it’s way too much, it scared our daughter. The host was outstanding.

The cabin was clean and offered towels and soaps. It was decorated with various wild taxidermy animals but we are hunters too so that did not bother us. It did only have one bathroom and the cabin was pretty close to a busy road but we knew that and chose it for the convenience of the location to park our truck and trailer. Daniel our host was very friendly and helpful as well sending us photos of the driveway.

The house was amazing, so much history!! The kitchen had everything you could possibly need. The bar was very large and accommodating. The living room was very spacious and the couch fit all of us while watching the ballgame!! The beds were so comfy! Our fur babies had more than enough room and the kennel outside was a luxury for our two smaller babies. We will definitely book this house again!! The host responded quickly when we had a question.

Nice olace

Nice place and quiet. It’s an older building that could use some maintenance for example, the drains were very slow. Great communication and very friendly host.

Good ole time country living

Peaceful, a piece of history with a modern day update. In the country away from all the hustle but close enough to the Tuscaloosa. Amazing property owner who stays in touch and answers all questions and makes sure you have what you need.

Enjoyable each time

We’ve stayed in the property 3 times now and have a h time was great. Clean, very friendly owners and comfortable beds. We didn’t need anything fancy, just a clean safe place to sleep and that’s exactly what it was! We will be back again soon when visiting our kids at Bama.

Country Living

The lodge is very well equipped and clean. The lodge was pleasantly decorated with Christmas decorations. The lit Christmas tree in the front window when we pulled into the driveway was very welcoming and festive.

We had to come up here for a medical emergency with my fiancee's sister on the way up we found country living and the people from start to finish were awesome. They made an already stressful situation and gave me one less thing to worry about

Perfect stopping point

This house was a perfect alternative to a hotel for us. We were just traveling through the area with trailers and bikes and didn’t want to stay at a hotel. The accommodations were exactly as listed. We will stay here again if we are back in the area.
