About this property

Nina's Cottage - aka Grandma's House of Silverhill

In these COVID-19 times, we want you to know that we are taking cleaning and changeovers very seriously.
We are cleaning deep, that has always been our standard.
Enjoy contactless check-in and relax in Nina's country kitchen or sit on the porch and bask in the pine tree fabulousness :)

Nina's Cottage is a quaint farmhouse that my Czech grandmother lived in when they came to Alabama in the 1920's to farm. It has a country feel with a big front porch and lots of comfortable living. This unique farmhouse is a throw-back to an earlier time. The house has recently undergone an extensive renovation. New drywall, updated cabinets, new windows and doors and so much more. Your personal home including a living room, huge open eat-in country kitchen, 2 bedrooms with queen beds, large bathroom, laundry and enclosed back porch. The front porch is spacious and perfect for relaxing. A rural experience minutes away from downtown Fairhope. Groceries, gasoline, pharmacies, hospitals are even closer.

I rented the cottage for two of my Brothers who were coming to visit me because I didn’t have enough bedrooms for them. So the cottage was only used for sleeping. It was near my place and worked out well for our visit together. The cottage was very cute and clean and my Brothers enjoyed sleeping there.

We enjoyed the peaceful neighborhood, sittingvon the large front porch enjoying early mornings and late afternoon country views of a tree covered lot with birds to enjoy. The house was very clean, comfortable, just as described. Very private. Host provided many non essentials which were nice surprises. Bottled water, cold in the frig, a basket full of nice snacks, plenty of towels, shower needs, anything needed, it was there. The refrigerator has an ice maker, a huge plus for us! We slept well on comfotable beds with plenty of pillows. The furniture was also very comfortable and large screen TV, able to watch whatever we wanted. Plenty of closet space. The bathroom is is spacious with a nice showerhead and laundry room available too We did not cook but the kitchen is fully equipped and appliances all look brand new, including a dishwasher. Host was amazing and readily available. We come to Loxley every year as vendors at The Strawberry Festival. This home has been wonderful for us and the best rental in 9 years of coming here. I will be booking again as soon as dates for the festival are release

quick business trip

Our 3 piece band needed a place to stay that fit the budget allowed by the job for which we were booked. This little place was perfect. And the porch was great for relaxing from the noise of performing. We hope to get to come back!

Girl get-away

Property is very pretty and the location was perfect. The setting was quiet and beautiful. Coffee on the front porch was a wonderful way to start our day! The cottage is very comfortable and very well equipped. This was, without a doubt, one of the cleanest rentals that I have ever had the pleasure of staying in. We will definitely return to Nina’s Cottage.

Amazing Accommodations

The host was extremely responsive and was able to accommodate our early check in requests. We were traveling for soccer and she not only made arrangements for early check in but also land treats awaits our children. The joys was impeccably clean and SO cozy. I loved reading about the history of the home! We will definitely be coming back any time we have soccer tournaments nearby. .

Perfect family holiday retreat

Our family booked Grandma's House for our annual Christmas visit to Fairhope. We couldn't have had a better experience. Barbara's hospitality is such a gift, and the home itself was absolutely perfect for our stay. Having laundry accessibility is an added bonus. We will be staying here again and again for future visits to Fairhope.

Excellent stay. I would return any time!

Hostess was very gracious. The property was very clean, organized with extras that were very welcoming (snacks, laundry detergent, wine, etc). It was comfortable and private. Just as described and perfect for our event in Fairhope.
