Very nice home

As the description states, it's a historic house. Despite being old, it was very well kept, very clean, furnished nicely, and as our daughters described it, "Very cute."Property was nice. Check-in was easy. I would categorize the neighborhood as not the greatest but we had no issues.Very easy drive to UA campus and downtown Tuscaloosa.

Fantastic Home in a great location for any U of Alabama Parent or Alumni.

My wife and I stayed at the GreenHouse visiting our Freshman daughter at University of Alabama. The home was wonderful and the location was ideal- just a 6 minute ride to downtown Tuscaloosa and only a 9 minute ride to the campus/ Bryant-Denny Stadium. We also discovered the really nice town of Northport, which had restaurants and great Antique shopping. The home itself was great- it has 5 bedrooms and two full bathrooms and can easily accommodate 10-12 people . We travelled with our 3 young boys and my 70+ in laws. We had plenty of room to relax and the rear fenced in yard was perfect for our boys. The home is very nice with beautiful hardwood floors, sunroom, dining room and an upgraded kitchen w breakfast table. The owners were very nice and really easy to work with. We will definitely come back!

Nice at The Nook

Everything was nice ! Nicely furnished and very convenient for our needs! The only recommendations are to have outside area blown or raked as leaves were hard to keep out of the house, the door knobs were a bit difficult to turn and needed a broom to keep all rooms clean throughout our stay! The host was so nice and offered to follow up regarding the microwave as it wanted to be on demo mode frequently throughout the stay ! We loved all the rooms the furnishings ! Very clean and neat ! We had a wonderful time!! Thank you for hosting us!
