DETAILS:

This unforgettable apartment promises a wonderful stay. Enter the door to the bright, open, and colorful living area. Featuring three distinct areas -- a den, kitchen, and dining area -- this open-concept living area is a wonderful place to relax and step back in time, with modern comforts, of course. The sun-filled den invites you to lounge while you listen to a record from our fireplace collection, read a book, or watch your favorite shows on Netflix, Disney +, or Hulu (all included). Hungry? Step over into the fully-stocked kitchen and dining area. The kitchen is playful and cheery, delightfully 70s with decor, but decidedly modern with its new, stainless steel appliances. It boasts everything you would need to cook a formal meal or a quick snack. Enjoy your creation at the vintage dining room table, specially sourced for the space, complete with fun swivel chairs, which will take you back to your childhood in an instant. Want a drink? Pull up to the custom bar, perfectly situated between the kitchen and living room.

Off the living area, you'll find a hallway, which leads to the two bedrooms and bathroom. The first bedroom is a dream for a kid of any age. Custom, colorful, built-in bunk beds are fun and wickedly comfortable. With two full-sized, memory foam mattresses and silky smooth Comphy sheets, your guests will sleep like a dream, and a sturdy ladder provides easy access to the top for guests, big and small. Next door, the master bedroom features a queen-sized bed with a dreamy memory foam mattress and luscious sheets and pillows. A second TV makes it easy to sneak away and catch up on your favorites.

Across the hall, you'll find the full bathroom. Soak away your stresses in the carefully restored cast iron tub. Or, enjoy a shower using our organic, paraben- and cruelty-free shampoo, body wash, and conditioner. The large, antique vanity gives you plenty of space to spread out, and the built-in storage closet is perfect for any extra toiletries you may have.

Don't miss the best part -- the spacious, private balcony, complete with your own hammock chair and two lounge chairs. A perfect perch for morning yoga or to take in a beautiful sunset. Of course, you'll also get to enjoy all of the great outdoor amenities of Eden Brae -- the gardens, fountains, fire pit, screened outdoor dining room, grill, hammocks, corn hole set, and foosball. What more could you want?

Guest Access:
Guests will have access to the gated grounds of the property, which include a screened outdoor dining room and a natural gas grill, as well as hammocks and gardens.

The Neighborhood:
Eden Brae is on Cliff Road, between the popular neighborhoods of Forest Park and Highland Park. While you are with us, be sure to venture out into the neighborhood. Just a few blocks away, you will find parks, restaurants, coffee, golf, and tennis!

Highland Park Golf and Tennis Club is just a block away. Open to the public, it is very easy to play a round of golf or a game of tennis during your stay. With amazing course conditions and incredible views of the city skyline, the Highland Park golf course is beloved by locals and visitors alike. Play 9- or 18- holes or enjoy the driving range. Tee times are easy to book online, in person, or by phone. If tennis is your sport, you are in luck. The Highland Park Racquet Club is next door and easy to access. Clay courts and hard courts are available for single or doubles play.

If you are in the mood for something more relaxed, the church around the corner has a beautiful public stone meditation path. Rushton Park, one of the three parks lining Highland Avenue, is just a couple of blocks away. A favorite among locals, it's a wonderful place to enjoy a pretty day. If you are traveling with kids, you will love Rushton Park's gated playground. Or, if you are in for something more active, try the park's basketball or volleyball court. Just outside the park, you will find a few popular local eateries. In the mood for a coffee or pastries, try O'Henry's. Or, stroll next door to Rojo, a popular Mexican restaurant with indoor and outdoor dining. It's dog friendly and regularly features live music and entertainment.

On the other side of Highland Park Golf Course, you will find Forest Park, which is home to a couple of cute restaurants and shops. Walk a few blocks further to enjoy the beautiful park, brewery, restaurants, bars, coffee shops, and stores in Avondale.

Getting Around:
Eden Brae is just a couple of miles from most of Birmingham's most popular attractions: Railroad Park, the Zoo and Botanical Gardens, Avondale, Sloss Furnace, the Art Museum, Regions Field, Vulcan Park, and Downtown's Entertainment and Civil Rights Districts. All are easily accessibly by bike or by car/Lyft/Uber.

Interaction with Guests:
While you may find members of our cleaning or groundskeeping team on site, guests are free to enjoy the property. If you need us, you can best reach us through messenger.
