So sorry we are late in responding to your glowing review, Joshua! It went unnoticed for a bit, but we are so pleased that you took the time to write it. We’re thrilled that you appreciated the amenities in the kitchen, because while Birmingham is a fabulous food destination to visit renowned restaurants, it’s also nice to be able to stay in and enjoy friends and family at your home away from home. Our proximity to the Birmingham Airport makes our home a great place to be based while being close to Downtown and Avondale, with lovely outdoor spaces to sit and take in all the natural beauty. Thank you for the kind words for our Guest Contact, Eva, she makes all of our guests feel welcomed, and it’s her special touches that make our house feel like a home. We’re so glad you enjoyed your stay with us and would love you have you visit again!

Thank you, Micheal for staying with us and for writing the lovely review! We have enjoyed landscaping the yard with beautiful trees and flowers, and are especially proud to host the Gulf Coast Fritillary Butterfly in our passion fruit vines!

House is a stunning, eclectic, historical gem. It housed our tribe of seven, which includes five teens, easily, and was so much fun to stay in. We appreciated every detail, and there were so many to appreciate. From the worldly and colorful decor, to the custom tiling, the original door frames and more. The host was incredibly pleasant to communicate with, proactive and warm. The touches like water filters and cups in every bedroom were greatly appreciated. We would absolutely stay here again.

Quirky in Birmingham

We appreciated how clean and well stocked the house was. Even though it was old, it had all the amenities needed and loaded with charm.

Response from VrboOwner on 2 Jun, 2025
Thank you, Denise, for your stay and kind words about our historic home. We’re so glad to hear you appreciated all the old “charm” we strove to restore to the house while we were renovating it. We decorated the home with artistic touches like marble tile for the upstairs bathroom with the claw-foot tub and uncovered many layers of wallpaper, dating back to the Art Deco era of the 1910’s, and preserved that under varnish. The spacious kitchen and downstairs bathroom are more colorful and were inspired by the owners’ background in art, particularly with the mosaic-tiled bath surround. And yes, we take great pride in making the house comfortable with all the amenities you’d expect from a newer home. Y’all were great guests, and we would love to host your family again!

We work so hard to make our home and garden, and relaxation spaces unique, and it gives us great pleasure to share them with visiting families and friends. Decorating the home with antiques and finding the right architectural materials for the period when the house was built, while restoring it to its 1910s grandeur, is something we take great pride in, and are so glad that those details are appreciated!"

Eclectic style, lots of space!!

We were initially hesitant upon our arrival but any concerns quickly evaporated. Our host was great and very responsive. This place was SO well stocked with most anything you could need! It even had a Traeger pellet grill!! We appreciated the space available for our family and everyone had a super comfy bed! Not only that but king sized beds!! We enjoyed our stay and were very pleased.

Ultimate Quaint Comfort Experience

This historic home is renovated and has definite artistic flair all throughout the house, with modern comfort (like a/c units) throughout. If you are like me and absolutely love imagining being in the past, with original wood floors and doors (I think?) but still having 21st century plumbing, this home is a delight. Clearly someone with a fun artsy vibe has also added colorful tiles in the kitchen and downstairs bathroom, which was great. Another part of our group stayed in a more modern, typical luxury home, but I was ecstatic to stay in this one instead. Every corner of the house has thoughtful, intriguing decor and feels like a window into Birmingham's old Southern charms.

From the owner: "We're so glad you enjoyed your stay and took notice of all the little details we never expected others to notice. Most doors are original, but we had to find some that match the same period. The pine floors are 112 years old and were lovingly refinished and yep, the plumbing and heating and air units and ductwork are all new. We are so honored to share our home with you all"

This home is eclectic, full of art and so many tiny touches. It keeps you noticing new things each and every day. So much fun!!! We loved everything about it.
