Everything was great! Owner was helpful, friendly, responsive. Good quality house. Clean. Plenty of space for 8 guys. Beds were comfortable. Nice amenities and finishes (5 plasma TVs, wifi, screened in porch, 2 washer/dryers, 2 AC units, etc.). Everything was as nice as advertised. We also used it as home base for visiting Tuscaloosa for the Alabama game.
Only downside is proximity to retail and restaurants was just a little farther than we'd have liked....but was definitely manageable. Also, since the house is new, address was not easy to find by navigation system. We knew this ahead of time, but it did cause some challenges/delays with having food delivered or taxi pickup. We got through it, but it would have helped if the owner had a list of these services that are good, close by, and easy way to explain (or that knew how to get there). Not something we expected necessarily, but would have been a nice touch.
Overall, EXCELLENT. If and when we go back to the RTJ Trail, we'd definitely stay at this house again. Thanks so much Rick!
