About this property
Historic Buzzard Roost on the Lake - Stay on Lake Tuscaloosa!
Looking to unplug but still want modern amenities? Historic Buzzard Roost is your place, enjoy this historic 1830’s cabin built of virgin timber. Relax on the porch of this farmstead where generations of “old buzzards” have rested after long days of working the farm. Secluded in a wildlife refuge, it’s only minutes from modern stores and restaurants and about 9.8 miles north of Bryant Denny Stadium.
This property is a 2 bedroom 1.5 bath house that can sleep up to 6 people. Inside you will find new kitchen appliances; new mattresses, bedding and linens; smart TVs; and updated bathrooms. The house is also stocked with board games for everyone's entertainment!
Rooms & Bathroom:
Master Bedroom: King with en-suite full bathroom with walk-in shower.
Second Bedroom: Twin over Twin Bunkbed with a Twin floor mattress under the bunk bed.
Common area/living room: Twin Day bed with access to the hallway shared half bath.
Outdoor porch: Full outdoor rustic shower.
If you cannot get enough of the outdoors, get back to nature in the new and peaceful outdoor shower! The wooden deck boasts plenty of seating and lounge chairs as well as a cozy screened in porch to relax and enjoy the surrounding forest and lake vibes. Outside there is a wood-burning fire pit where the whole family can unwind and roast s'mores, along with a propane grill. There is a dock down by the lake with a kayak too!
We are here to make your stay a wonderful one. We know we’ve done our job well when you ask about coming back to stay with us again. We love having repeat guests, because it feels like family or close friends coming home for a visit. Please don’t hesitate to reach out with questions!
