About the host
Hosted by Jeff Jolly or Mary Jolly
We are Jeff and Mary Jolly and both retired from a business we established in 1993. After retiring, we decided to go full time hosting both of our rental properties One located in Gulf Shores, Alabama and this property, Charming Retreat located in Northport, Alabama. We love hosting our guests and making them feel at home.
Why they chose this property
We fell in love with this home when we purchased it in 2005. The location and the features of this 1920’s built home had so much charm. The home has been through its second remodel while keeping much of the original structure.
What makes this property unique
This home is beautifully decorated and has so much charm and many amenities . The location is ideal for things to do in Northport and Tuscaloosa or just relaxing.
