Tuscaloosa Ranch

The home has plenty of space to accommodate a group. It was clean and walking distance to some stores. House needs updating and kitchen is not well stocked. Getting into the house was challenging, as we never got a code and host wasn't answering. Everything ended up working out, but tough after a long day of traveling...

About the host

Hosted by Bragan Jackson

Host profile image
I'm a University of Alabama graduate from the business school where I majored in Finance with a concentration in Real Estate, and a minor in Economics. I moved back home to Mobile following graduation to take a job in the wholesale insurance space. My wife, Sadie, and I met shortly thereafter and are happy to share that we've started a family with the addition of our daughter "Emi".
We look forward to sharing our home with you!

Why they chose this property

Welcome to our home! We hope you enjoy using this space as much as we have. My how this home's use has changed over the years! From the home I lived in during school, to student rental, to the home my younger brother lived in, on now to a rental we want to share with you. We almost lost this home to the tornado in 2011, but thankfully, we escaped with nothing more than broken windows and a damaged roof. The memories we've made here are near and dear to our heart and we hope your family has as fond a memory of this home as we do once you've completed your stay - and that you think of us again the next time your travels bring you to Tuscaloosa!

What makes this property unique

This home is in the center of all the action! Before the tornado, this area was piece-milled together and the buildings lacked a general theme or functional layout. Though tragic, the blank slate that the tornado created has been seized by real estate developers and homeowner's alike. Despite the development the surrounding area has experienced, this street remains fairly quiet because it is not a "cut-through" for general commercial traffic.
