Quaint home
We had a delightful stay! The home was stocked with all of the necessities to make our visit comfortable. It was very convenient to be able to walk to restaurants in the neighborhood. We checked out Alabama Biscuit one morning and Crestline Bagel the other day. The blueberry spiced latte was a hit from Alabama Biscuit! The location was a geographical oddity to shopping, breweries, and Mcwanes science museum that we went to while there. I enjoyed the swing in the backyard which was perfect for a quiet area to read! We had our 9 month old with us. We were thankful for the crib, high chair, sound machine, children utensils, and books/toys for entertainment and ease. It allowed for us to easily watch him play while we watched football. Thank you for your communication prior and during our time. If we are back in Alabama with the crew, we will definitely try to book this property again.

Peaceful gem, quick drive to downtown Birmingham
Our family, including 2 kids and a set of grandparents were in town for my husband's conference and for vacation. We were impressed by the lovely home, it's many comfortable spaces and it's beautiful yard. The home was very clean. Parking was easy and ample. Our kids appreciated the books, games and toys as well as the trampoline (although the heat and bugs limited our time outside). We appreciated extra paper goods, spices, coffee/sugar, many dishes/pots/pans. The laundry machines are modern and work well. The black out curtains in each room and the air conditioning made the home an oasis from the heat. The primary suite on the first floor provides lovely privacy and has a "great shower!" per the grandparents. Several restaurants and grocery stores were nearby and the neighborhood is lovely and quiet. We loved how easy it was to drive downtown (just 15 minutes) for the conference, and for the rest of us to go to the impressive free art museum and to the must-be-seen Civil Rights Institute. Mallory was extremely responsive and gave great instructions. She even allowed us a later check-out due to VRBO's automatic message mistakenly telling us check-out was an hour later. We were also impressed that our hosts dealt with a huge tree on the property having been struck and felled by lightning just days before our arrival. They had the roof repair done before we arrived and our stay was not affected at all. Thanks for a lovely stay!

Family wedding weekend
My family and I had a fabulous weekend in Birmingham for my nephew’s wedding. Mallory’s home was a perfect fit for our trip. It was beautifully decorated and landscaped plus so clean and spacious for the 5 of us. It was very close to many restaurants and stores that we utilized during our stay.

Everything about the place was ideal. Very cool property, absolutely beautiful yard, great location. The house is fantastic; really well decorated and maintained. The pictures really don't do complete justice...such a great vibe about this place. Family (three twenty somethings and wife) agree it was a home run.

Beautiful home
Had a lovely stay! This was one of the nicest places we’ve visited, and we stay in vrbos often. The house was well air conditioned, furniture stylish and comfortable, and kitchen was updated and well-equipped. I love to garden, so it was a pleasure to walk on the stone pavers around the flowers and thoughtfully landscaped grounds. Very peaceful. Mallory was very responsive, too. Highly recommend. Location in Cahaba Heights was awesome. I love all the fun shopping and restaurants close by. Neighborhood is very very safe and family friendly.

Very cute cottage in Cahaba Heights
We had a great stay at this house in Cahaba Heights. It was clean, nice, and had plenty of bedrooms for us and the kids. The house is older, which just made it more charming. The outside landscaping is absolutely gorgeous, if you're into that sort of thing, which I am. The location is super convenient to 459, the Summit, and even downtown because 280 is so close. We'd definitely stay here again.

Great Place to Stay for Baseball Tournament
If your looking for a nice home in a great part of town look no further. We were in need of a home close to the Hoover Met Sports Complex (18 minute drive) for a baseball tournament. This home did not fall short conveniently located by major shopping, restaurants, etc. Mallory did a great job communicating when the property became available even letting us in a few hours early. We had a fantastic and memorable trip!!
