We could not have asked for better Guest!! They were wonderful and extremely kind!! They took care of The Bama Gathering Place as though it was their very own home. They were very attentive with bagging the trash, turning the lights, ceiling fans, & A/C off at their departure. As well as securing the home with every door locked. I must say, they were very considerate and left everything tidy. We were most impressed with their stay. We would definitely welcome them back to The Bama Gathering Place & it would be our greatest pleasure to host them again!! -Julie & Gordon 🙂

Bama weekend

The house is comfortable, inviting and spotless. Great hospitality, definitely welcoming. Beautiful, quiet, relaxing setting. Unfortunately for us, we didn't check the distance to/from Bryant Denny Stadium. But absolutely enjoyed staying at the Bama Gathering Place.

Wonderful Experience

We enjoyed an extended weekend at this property. Everything was exactly as it is pictured, and the house was equipped with everything that my family needed. We loved the peacefulness of the property. My children and dogs enjoyed the huge yard space to run around. Everything was extremely clean and beautifully decorated. Julie was extremely responsive and helpful with any questions that we had. We loved it!

Really great property near T-town! We stayed Alabama graduation weekend and brought my daughter, adult brother and 90-year-old father. There was a perfect room for him on the ground floor, next to a bathroom.House was so cute! Just as advertised. The property was well maintained and not too far away from Tuscaloosa. We really enjoyed our stay and are very thankful to have had such a nice place to stay for graduation.

This house is newly remodeled and beautiful! The owner thought of every little detail and the decor is modern and comfortable with some adorable Bama touches mixed in. The property is gorgeous and very peaceful with outdoor seating to enjoy the view. We would definitely stay here again and would recommend to friends and family!!!
