About this property

Firefly Garden - Urban family friendly Oasis near campus!

Welcome to Firefly Garden!

Ever wondered what an urban oasis could be like? Just a mile from Midtown Mall you turn off Hargrove Road into a forest of giant oaks to find a historic 1920’s farmhouse lovingly restored and surrounded by lush gardens with handcrafted greenhouse and koi fish pond.

Step up to the massive front door with custom painted glass and into a formal entry with crystal chandelier and oriental carpets. Enter into the open plan kitchen dining and living room with lots of comfy seating to watch TV or hang out with the chefs in the fully equipped kitchen.

Venture further to find three downstairs bedrooms. Main bedroom has bath with large Jacuzzi tub with shower, and four poster queen bed with ornamental wood fretwork. Second bedroom has a brass queen bed and a half bath. Third bedroom has another four poster Queen bed. Hall bathroom has a tub/shower combo. Upstairs is a fourth bedroom with a full Jenny Lind bed and a Queen bed, and great views of the garden, there is also a small sitting room/library and a bathroom with stand up shower. The house can sleep up to 8 adults, plus children, for a total of 10 people.

Hang out with friends and family on the large covered porch with party lights or step out onto the patio to enjoy the fire pit or grill up some dinner.

Beyond the Basics
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The home was prepared with the extra efforts to make us feel welcome. There is a hanging on their wall which sums up the purpose and our experience of this home and garden. “I want to live by the side of the road and be a friend to man.” The response to our questions were immediate and kind. Perfect location to the University and then a place to escape and unwind.

Unique, Whimsical, Magical Experience
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a party of 7 who all thouroughly enjoyed the rich history of the home. Stained glass, wood floors, whimsical decor, a total peace filled package. The unique fire pit was ready to use and we did. Chatting about the game and enjoying each others company following the game. Great memories!!

Roll Tide Weekend
My family stayed at the Firefly Garden during Alabama’s Parent’s weekend. The location was great, and communication was easy. The house is super cute, warm, cozy, and inviting. There are lovely gardens and walkways surrounding the property... with a host of butterflies to greet you. The fire pit was a huge hit! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and highly recommend ….Roll Tide!

Best Family House and Outdoor Space!
We stayed for our son's Graduation weekend and loved every minute. The pictures honestly don't do the outside space/porch and gardens justice....it was just perfect and beautiful and we plan on coming back when our family team joins the SEC for football weekends!
