When staying in the historic district, you will be extremely close to Downtown Tuscaloosa, the University of Alabama's Campus/Strip, as well as wonderful walking trails with an old world, comfortable feel. The trade off is that there are strictly enforced noise ordinances and rules (noise - inside after 10:30pm, visitor restrictions, & parking restrictions).

House was clean and well stocked! Perfect location and easy walk to the stadium.
We loved our stay. The location and accommodations were wonderful. The kids and adults enjoyed the pool table! We had one small issue with the alarm code but it was very quickly resolved!
Great location, easy to work with the property manager, they were extremely responsive and helpful leading up to and throughout our stay. The house has everything you need for a comfortable stay, the backyard is great and was perfect for our pup. Everything was very clean and thoughtful. We will definitely be back! Thank you!

This is our favorite place to stay whenever we come to T-town. The location is perfect. Walking distance to everything. Very clean, comfy, and it has everything we need. Management is great and allowed early check in after our long drive too which was great. Will stay again. ROLL TIDE.

The house is beautiful, has so many nice/fun amentiies and the back yard was so nice for us to hang out at. We were so appreciative of the hosts touching base to make sure we had everything we needed. We will definitely stay here again!

Thank you so much for your kind review! Y'all were wonderful guests! Come back again soon for another visit!
This property was clean, comfortable, and in a great location. The details of the home are very unique and the outdoor seating area was a great place to hang out in the beautiful weather. We had everything we needed during our stay. The property manager was very responsive and the information provided was very clear and thorough. I will definitely stay here again.
We had a wonderful stay at Myrtlewood Cottage. The house was perfect for our family by being in walking distance to the stadium and sorority houses. The family room was very comfortable and kitchen had everything we needed to make some home-cooked meals for our student. Loved the outdoor living space! And the beds were super comfy too. Thank you and Roll Tide!
ABSOLUTELY PERFECT!!!
This house has everything! Well equipped with all the comforts of home. The house is located in a beautiful neighborhood, within walking distance to Bryant Denny Stadium and “The Strip”. My nephew especially loved the pool table. We had a wonderful stay. Would highly recommend!!!

Wonderful weekend stay for a UA sorority parent event. The location and proximity to campus and the Strip was amazing. The cottage was large, clean, welcoming, and had all comforts of home. Backyard was great for the dog and for drinking coffee or enjoying the firepit. The garage was a great bonus. Loved this place and would definitely stay again. RTR!
