This is a beautiful home and a beautiful location. We really enjoyed our brief stay as we visited with our son at Samford University during family weekend. We will definitely keep it in mind for future visits.

An absolutely amazing stay in every way. You felt as if you were welcomed by a friend to experience their kind hospitality. We were in town for a family wedding and we were not familiar with this area and the location was perfect. The 10-mile view from the back of the house was such a bonus, as was the deer that dropped by in the afternoon to eat the deer corn our host suggested we bring. The linen was very nice, the beds were so comfortable, and everything you needed was thoughtfully at hand.

Great home for a family

We stayed at the Cahaba River home with our teenagers and had a great time. Great house in a nice neighborhood close to restaurants and shopping. House was well appointed with everything we needed. Plus, a fantastic view of the mountains! We would definitely recommend this property.

Pet friendly. No sidewalks or fence so enjoy this remodeled property but be aware. We drove our dog to nearby parks to walk.Next door neighbors' dogs must be kept in garage or in the yard at night. They woke me up several nights barking.We stayed 5 nights and felt the mattresses were not high quality as we woke up stiff most mornings. The Summit outdoor mall is very close and there is lots to do. Kitchen had everything we needed.The host prefers to talk you through how to get in and what isn't available at the property. A lot of information over a 15 minute call. It would be nice to also have it in writing. You need to bring your own toiletries (soap, shampoo...) and there is no blow dryer. THE VIEW IS AMAZING!

Hidden Gem: A Peaceful Retreat with Stunning Views and Unbeatable Convenience!

I was a little hesitant to book this house since it didn’t have any reviews, but as a new listing, it turned out to be a hidden gem! The location was absolutely perfect for my needs—super convenient to my warehouse and my new store, @collected_forthehome, in Irondale. It was also incredibly easy to get to downtown Birmingham and extremely convenient to The Summit, which made shopping and dining effortless.The house itself exceeded my expectations. The views of the river were stunning, and waking up to deer in the mornings was such a peaceful way to start the day. The interior was beautifully decorated—modern, clean, and fresh, yet still warm and inviting. Everything was spotless, and it’s clear the owners put a lot of care into creating a comfortable and relaxing space.This property would also be ideal for anyone heading to Tuscaloosa for a game. It’s close enough for an easy drive but far enough away to offer a quiet, peaceful retreat.I couldn’t have been happier with my stay and will definitely be booking this property again. Highly recommend!

The house was absolutely wonderful, the pictures do not do it justice. Stunning views and nestled in a lovely neighborhood, close to lots of very nice restaurants and shopping. Tons to do within 20 minutes. The check in process could be greatly improved. Having to call and get verbal instructions that could easily be emailed or texted to you for much more ease for all parties would be a much better process. But that aside, our stay was absolutely lovely. Perfect for families.

The pictures do not do this place justice. The kitchen is wonderful. The view is amazing. The towels were top notch. The floor plan was where you could be alone reading a book or where everyone can be together. High end appliances and very clean. We can’t wait to go back and stay longer.

About the host

Hosted by Walton Brown

Host profile image
I was born and raised in Birmingham and have lived most of my life her with the exception of part time for years in Southern California. I have owned a Residential Real Estate Sales Development and Design business for almost 40 years. I love everything that makes for a warm and charming home.

Why they chose this property

This neighborhood is one of the best kept "secrets" in Birmingham as it is so centrally located in what is almost like a Nature Preserve right in the middle of the greater metro Birmingham Area. Living is the woods close in is fantastic. The river and the views give you the feel of a stay in Highlands.

What makes this property unique

The location. River frontage on The Cahaba River. All the wildlife is wonderful to watch. You can't find anything this close in that offer all these wonderful things this close in that Vacation Rentals are allowed.
