About the host

Hosted by Jill & Tim Rathert

Host profile image
Our family has owned Houndstooth (formerly Happy Place) since 2012! We've spent so many summers here! This is our second home - not just a vacation rental. We are HUGE Alabama fans (RTR), as well as cheering on the Predators and Titans in Nashvile.

Why they chose this property

This area is a great mix of local residents and vacationers. Nothing beats the hospitality of Sweet Home Alabama!

What makes this property unique

We try to offer our guests as many conveniences as possible. There are indoor games and puzzles, as well as outdoor games. We have a grill, picnic table and outdoor shower under the house.

Our storage room is filled with fishing poles, beach chairs, beach toys, and floats.

We stock 10 beach towels at our house and ask only that you wash, dry, and put them away before you leave.

Our kitchen is well-stocked with many spices and condiments. We have a regular coffeemaker and there is normally coffee, sugar and creamer already stocked!
