Great location with access to Huntsville in every direction! The hosts were responsive and helpful… and the property was a great home base for our family during an important wedding. Perfect place to rest, prepare, and spend time loved ones while in town. The workout equipment and game room was a big hit, and grilling burgers on the back porch was better than going out! Would book this property 10/10 times again!

We had a great stay at The Southern Mansion. The house was very nice and the ping pong table and the back deck got used a lot. Matt responded very quickly to emails which was very helpful. Would definitely consider staying here again.

Was what we needed.

We had to get out our house for a few days to have some work completed and this place was close to the neighborhood. Nice spot but I wish the listing on the VRBO website had the location closer to actual location.

Would book again

The house was great, had a good layout and nice yard. The beds were comfortable and clean and the decor was nicely updated. Only cons are the tub in the main bathroom needs to be replaced, the bottom of tub is in rough shape. Also, the street is one of the busiest in Huntsville, however the house is tucked back a good ways so we were not annoyed with the traffic. Overall, a great home to rent and I would definitely rent again!
