We booked this house for a bachelor trip for a group of 12 guys. The house itself was spacious and exactly as pictured. Our only complaint was that the pool table was not playable as advertised, the balls all rolled to one side and was in rough shape which was a bummer because it was one of main reason we booked this place.

House had what we needed--a large kitchen, tables for work space, and the right number of beds/baths. Had we not been in Birmingham for work, we could have enjoyed the front porch and game room more. I would stay here again.

Wow, this house is amazing! I was blown away by how spacious this place is. The historic charm is indescribable without seeing for yourself. My volleyball players, families, and I (the coach) all stayed here and had such a memorable experience. If you have a large group, look no further, this is a must see! Check in/out instructions were simple & clearly communicated. Host was responsive & helpful. 10/10!
