Guests like the comfortable beds, well-equipped kitchen, and peaceful, tree-lined neighborhood. Feedback notes this is an older, charming home with some stairs, so access may challenge those with mobility issues. Cleanliness is generally strong, though a few mention minor pests, a cleaning mix-up, or small maintenance items. Expect a comfortable, host-supported home stay.

Comfortable and cool home that our family would stay in again. Comfy beds with extra towels, nice deck and chairs out back, great location with close proximity to interstate. Plenty of things provided, like shampoo and conditioner, extra garbage bags and dishwasher pods which was helpful. Good communication with owner. Some cosmetic attention to things like peeling paint on windows would make this an all-around stellar place to stay!

My friends and I stayed here for a girls weekend and the location and closeness to downtown was great. The house was well stocked with cookware, coffee maker, plenty of towels. The house is older, but was very clean and had a beautiful archway in the living room. It gets great light throughout the day and had a warm homey feel. Danny the host was easy to communicate with. The outside deck is beautiful! Would recommend staying here if you have a group and want easy access to downtown. There was even a daybed in a sunroom that I probably missed in the listing but was an extra bed we weren’t expecting :)

This house is located on a very nice quiet street, lined with some of the most beautiful trees, flowers. A big reason we booked this property is so we could have dedicated parking and in a quiet location & this fit the bill for both of those. The house was super clean, well stocked with anything we needed for our 3 night stay. The refrigerator has ice maker & water in the door & a regular drip coffee maker which helped to make our stay more like being at home. We had zero problems drying our stay, but Danny was just a text away if needed, not some corporate number. That is also a huge bonus. This house is centrally located to all the things to see and do all around Birmingham. This house had the cutest outdoor space that runs on the side of the house and backyard, would be perfect for coffee or cocktails outside. Our stay was the last week of March, beautiful weather, amazing cherry blossom trees in full bloom including one few houses down from this one. If our travels ever take us back to Birmingham we would definitely book this house again.

The house was ideal for my girlfriend getaway. The location was great. We toured Volcan Park , Botanical Gardens, and ate at SoHo Social , which has a great happy hour starting at 3. All these were very close to the house. It was a short ride into Birmingham to visit the multiple breweries. The beds and house are very comfortable for the four of us. I would recommend this house but be aware there are multiple steps leading up to the front door. Not a problem for my group but may be difficult for someone with mobility issues.

Great location in Birmingham. Within walking distance of Vulcan Park and a few minutes of driving to great shopping and dining. Our group enjoyed the location and space for visiting. Not a suitable property for anyone with mobility issues, stair climbing required.

Nice welcome basket of snacks on arrival. We were in here for friends sons wedding, near to all the places we needed to be, close to the highway, but on a quiet street, beds were comfy, kitchen well stocked if you wanted to cook something. Daniel our host was helpful with any requests we had. Checking in and out was a breeze. I would recommend staying here.

This is the perfect home away from home. We rented this home for family coming in town for Samford graduation. This was so much better than being in hotel rooms. We had great family time cooking in the well equipped kitchen, playing cards at the kitchen table, sleeping comfortably in the spacious rooms and touring Vulcan Park. It’s in a great location to so many areas of Birmingham. Highly recommend this lovely home and working with Danny.

There were six of us. Four were seniors so the steps were a challenge but we’re glad we were in the neighborhood where it was peaceful. Would love to get this place again if we’re ever back.One thing I would add is you fumigate for the ants. They were a little pesty.

We came to town for a wedding and were within minutes of all the dinner and wedding venues. We were close to Vulcan Park, the botanical gardens, good coffee and restaurants. Also it was just a quick trip to the airport. The location could not have been better! There was some confusion about cleaning after a previous guest, but the owner made it right in a convenient way for us, so all was well!

The house was exactly what we were hoping for, 4 adults in town for the RTJ Trail. Nice, clean, and close to downtown. Communication with Daniel was excellent. We were not planning on using the day bed, which was the only issue we had. It just about collapsed with any weight on it and needs to be replaced if anyone intends to sleep on it.

This is charming historic home that was originally built in the 1940s. It has been updated throughout the years and has modern amenities including central air and a dishwasher. The home is nostalgic, but has plenty of room It is located in a quite neighborhood that is conveniently located to downtown and highwaysWe enjoyed being able to stay in a quite neighborhood rather than being crowed into two hotel rooms. We will definitely try to reserve this home on our next trip to Birmingham.

All these were very close to the house. It was a short ride into Birmingham to visit the multiple breweries. The beds and house are very comfortable for the four of us. I would recommend this house but be aware there are multiple steps leading up to the front door. Not a problem for my group but may be difficult for someone with mobility issues.

This house is located on a quiet street in the Redmond section of Birmingham. It has 3 bedrooms that can accommodate 2 people per room. There's also a couch on an enclosed side porch where a 7th guest could stay. The house is on the smaller side, so I don't recommend that. Also, the kitchen is spacious but basically is set up for 4 diners. Overall, we were pleased with the home and recommend it.

The property was clean, spacious and perfect for our family. Slight hiccup with check-in process in that the door code was not sent to us by VRBO, but our host was responsive and apologetic. He even refunded us a night's stay immediately as a gesture of goodwill and without us asking. Highly recommend to anybody looking to stay in a wonderful spot in Birmingham.

This is charming historic home that was originally built in the 1940s. It has been updated throughout the years and has modern amenities including central air and a dishwasher. The home is nostalgic, but has plenty of room It is located in a quite neighborhood that is conveniently located to downtown and highwaysWe enjoyed being able to stay in a quite neighborhood rather than being crowed into two hotel rooms. We will definitely try to reserve this home on our next trip to Birmingham.

The house was ideal for my girlfriend getaway. The location was great. We toured Volcan Park , Botanical Gardens, and ate at SoHo Social , which has a great happy hour starting at 3. All these were very close to the house. It was a short ride into Birmingham to visit the multiple breweries. The beds and house are very comfortable for the four of us. I would recommend this house but be aware there are multiple steps leading up to the front door. Not a problem for my group but may be difficult for someone with mobility issues.

Great location in Birmingham. Within walking distance of Vulcan Park and a few minutes of driving to great shopping and dining. Our group enjoyed the location and space for visiting. Not a suitable property for anyone with mobility issues, stair climbing required.

We came to town for a wedding and were within minutes of all the dinner and wedding venues. We were close to Vulcan Park, the botanical gardens, good coffee and restaurants. Also it was just a quick trip to the airport. The location could not have been better! There was some confusion about cleaning after a previous guest, but the owner made it right in a convenient way for us, so all was well!

Enjoyed this well outfitted home with easy access to Avondale, Edgewood, and all the good food Birmingham has to offer. There was coffee in the pantry, coffee maker, and extra toilet paper. The beds were comfortable and the home owner was responsive.

We loved it. The rooms are very spacious, the home is beautiful, and the area was perfect. It was extremely quiet in the neighborhood after 9 p.m., which was very appreciated. The local shops and various restaurants are less than 5 minutes away. We were there for my sister to have back surgery the following morning. We only got to stay one night but I could see being very comfortable if we'd stayed a week or longer. It's convenient to the Interstates but just the right distance away to have a private, quiet stay. You can't get that in a hotel.

We had a great stay at the Vulcan View Cottage. Location was close to UAB and downtown dining. The house is cozy, clean and was perfect for our party of 6. Thanks for a great stay.

We booked this VRBO when we were having out of town guests and couldn't comfortably fit everyone at our house. The 6 guests who stayed at the house were very comfortable and the location is ideal to Homewood, downtown, or Mtn. Brook. Daniel was friendly and a good communicator by phone and messaging.
