Will Not Look For Another❤️

First of all the home was beautiful and so spacious for a large group! There were all sorts of special touches:toiletries, laundry room supplies, garbage bags, kitchen spices and many other things you might forget there for you. But, the over the top assistance provided when we had unexpected car trouble was amazing! These hosts were kind, so helpful and went out of their way to make our stay great! Beautiful pier with a beautiful view!!! We have definately found our home away from home at Lake Tuscaloosa❤️

Lake Retreat

This property was the perfect home to spend time with our University of Alabama daughter. We found it to be spacious and wonderfully furnished. The kitchen was stocked with cookware, utensils and dishes. The beds and bedding were amazing. The home and property were clean. Sitting on the dock allowed us the opportunity to relax literally on the lake! We are looking forward to renting this property again on a future trip to see our daughter. Thank you Wendy for your thoroughness.

Great Tuscaloosa Getaway

The perfect setting for a getaway during your visit to the University of Alabama. Its just a 20-25 minute drive to campus, but you can also spend your days enjoying the lake activities, sitting near a fire, or having a cookout with a perfect view. Wendy is a fantastic and responsive host, and the house is stocked with all of the essentials you need for travel. I definitely recommend and will be staying there again.

Every detail was perfect!

We stayed at this gem of a property while moving our son into the U of Alabama and it was perfect. So well-appointed, comfortable, and clean, we had plenty of room and enjoyed the lakeside location. Morning yoga on the dock, afternoon kayaking and cooking dinner in the spacious kitchen. We will definitely be back!

Wow!

What a super experience. Wendy could not possibly have been more accommodating. She thought of everything. Welcomed us with some cookies and waters. Stocked with coffee, spices in the kitchen, paper towels, Qtips, even bug spray! Clean and spacious and right on the lake. Beautiful location, about 20 minutes from campus. Not fancy, just awesome. Thank you, Wendy!

Great location to relax while visiting Tuscaloosa

Our son was visiting the campus and we wanted to make a vacation of it. It was a short drive to the grocery store and easy to get to the U of A campus when we had visits scheduled. The owners provided so many things that I was not used to, like plenty of garbage bags, laundry and dish detergents, and other necessities that saved a lot of time and effort. I highly recommend checking out the property if you ae thinking of staying for several days to have a comfortable place to go after a day of fun.
