This is a treasure of a house!
We greatly enjoyed our comfortable stay while visiting family in the area.
I had made food in advance and frozen it, and we were able to heat everything up in the oven to enjoy. The kitchen felt like being at home.
It was quite chilly outside during our stay, but the house was cozy and warm.
Our dog loved the mostly-fenced yard to get to run each day. If you have little adventurers, know that Turkey Creek is in the backyard and will require monitoring.
The beds were comfortable and having 3 bathrooms was a dream!
We will love returning if ever given the opportunity!
The beds
Just a couple of friends having a night to let our hair down..

Needs work
Master closet had dirty laundry with heavy cigarette smell. Master shower appears unclean. Master bed sinks to the center. No occupant control of heat/cooling. Far too many lights not working. Bugs found in most rooms. Overall house did not feel clean.
The property is beautiful. They do need to treat for bugs but it’s the woods so wasn’t too worried about them. The decor is like staying with grandma out of town. Super cozy and cute. We will make a trip back soon. Thank you for the hospitality.
The house is beautiful. The neighborhood is peaceful. Love the creek behind the house.
The only issue - we had bugs, looked like cockroaches with wings multiple times (maybe this is an Alabama thing). There were bugs in the bathroom off the bedroom upstairs.
Girlfriends handling out creating a safe space and this home was the perfect place and location.

Bathrooms had not been cleaned
I knew the decor was dated when I booked this home. That was fine. However, the bathrooms had hair in the sinks — a lot — and gunk on the faucets and sinks and mirrors. There is no way these had been cleaned. There were several dead roaches in the house and some live bugs. Three-fourths of the lights did not work. The bedding was substandard, but we could live with that had the home been cleaned. The owner said she’d been sick and couldn't t check after housekeeping b.
This is our second time staying at this home. It is a perfect fit for our family vacation. Each person has their own room and space to spread out. The yard is lovely and the location is close to everything we need. The property manager was quick to respond to any questions we had. We look forward to staying here again next summer!

Beautiful house
The house is beautiful. Little out dated . My concern was about cleaning. Toilet on the main bathroom was dirty and I doing two half pill
My family and I had no problems finding or checking into the property. The yard was beautifully maintained. However, once in the house, we discovered that the AC was not working properly. We contacted the owner who gave advice on how to set the thermostat, but when that didn't work she immediately sent someone to work on it. Repairs somewhat helped but did not completely solve the cooling problem. Other minor annoyances were several lights did not work in the kitchen and bathrooms as well as some of the ceiling fans throughout the house which would have made the AC problem more bearable. The creek behind the house is lovely, but we wished there had been patio furniture available to enjoy sitting on the back deck. This would be a great place to visit in the fall when the weather is nice enough to enjoy sitting outdoors.
This was a lovely and spacious home located in a beautiful peaceful setting. However, it is not accessible to individuals with mobility problems as there are steep steps to the entrance. Although the rose bushes are lovely at the top of railing of steps would recommend they be trimmed so that the rails can be used by guests who need them to assist with steps. Also, providing the location of the bedrooms in the description, such as master bedroom with king bed on first floor, all other bedrooms on second floor, would’ve been helpful with our planning as we had my 88 y/o mother in law with us and she had to use the master bedroom on the first floor because she could not get up the stairs to second floor. Couples had to use the smaller beds upstairs. The bed in the master bedroom, although lovely, was also very tall, making it very difficult to get in and out of for her. The A/C also did not work in one of the upstairs bedrooms. Although small fans were provided, it was still warm and it wasn’t even summer yet. There was also not enough clean linen in the upstairs bathrooms. As far as communication, the host responded immediately when we had difficulty getting the key from key box but there was no response when I inquired about the Wi-Fi. Although our stay was adequate, there is room for improvement. This would be a great property for younger guests who don’t mind navigating stairs and are ok with limited options for food and entertainment.

The property is in a good and quiet neighborhood. Upon arrival I noticed there was laundry in the washing machine. Candy wrappers on the master bathroom counter. No remote for the only tv in the home. The creek was more interesting.
We brought our 2 year old for Monster Jam in Birmingham this weekend with both sets of grandparents. This house was perfect for us as everyone had bathroom access when needed and their own rooms. The property manager was very responsive when I had a question. Price was extremely reasonable. We truly enjoyed our stay! We didn’t have much time to enjoy the creek and other amenities with the property as we weren’t there long enough, but it was beautiful!
The house was beautiful and we really enjoyed the views. There was enough room for everyone it was 8 of us. The creek was the best for me. I loved the sound of water
