Exceeded our expectations

My wife absolutely loved the accommodations. and little added decorative touches that made it feel like our home and not a rental. Clean, quiet, safe and very comfortable in a beautiful wooded area yet convenient to great golf and great restaurants. Thank you Karin for being a great host and providing a great experience.

Quiet and comfortable

We visited Hoover for the SEC baseball tournament for the week. The property is in a beautiful location with lots of trees. The check-in process was quick and easy and Karin made sure everything was perfect for our stay. Having a W/D, refrigerator, full kitchen and bath and a half provided convenience and value for our stay. We will be back again and hope this property is available.

If you’re ever in the Birmingham or Hoover area in Alabama, you want to book this place. The hospitality from the owner was breathtaking to me. They’re complimentary snacks, water, household cleaning supplies, washer and dryer, cooking supplies, etc. you name it it was there. If I could explain my stay in one word, it would be , “Tranquility.”

Wonderful Property! This VrBO is outstanding! Karin is a gracious host providing a beautiful home where we felt as if we were in our own home. Comfortable, not one detail missing and such kind communication from the start. Area is lovely, and a perfect Easter respite visiting our adult children. We will definitely request a stay again when we visit the kids. Thank you Karin! Your home is so beautiful!! Carol & Matt
