Nestled on over an acre of majestic live oaks in prestigious Montrose, this rare historic gem offers an unparalleled stay that modern accommodations simply cannot match. Built by William D.

Imagine sipping morning coffee beneath century-old oak trees in your expansive private yard, or unwinding in spaces once graced by diplomats and distinguished Alabamians. This isn't just accommodation—it's an opportunity to become part of Fairhope's storied legacy.
Book now to experience the irreplaceable charm and character that only a century of history can create.

We had the absolute best stay at this Fairhope home! Dave was incredibly helpful and responsive from start to finish, and he gave us the best recommendations for things to do with both the kids and the adults. He truly went above and beyond to make sure our trip was smooth and fun.The house itself is stunning — beautifully designed and exactly as described (if not better!). The beds were so comfortable, and the towels and linens felt luxurious. Every detail made it feel special and welcoming.It truly is the coolest house in Fairhope, just like the listing says. We would absolutely stay here again!

Great property

We came to Fairhope for a wedding and stayed for a long weekend (Thursday-Sunday). This house itself and the location was perfect for what we needed. Dave was great at communication and made sure that we had everything we needed before we even arrived and checked in with us daily as well. Would definitely recommend this property to anyone else looking for a good and safe place to stay.

We enjoyed our stay at the Coolest House in Fairhope. There were six of us including my wife and our adult children and their spouse/friend, so the house layout suited us well with 4 bedrooms and comfortable queen/king beds in each room. The multiple living areas upstairs and down and the large dining room gave us plenty of space to gather. We also enjoyed the large porches outside and the beautiful yard. Everything was in full bloom while we were there and the weather was perfect for sitting outside. The house is in an ideal location for easy access to downtown Fairhope and Daphne as well as the beach. Don't miss the short 5-10 minute walk to Steadman's Landing, a city park, that gives you access to the bay for morning walks on the beach and beautiful sunsets in the evening. Our hosts, Dave and Jen, were available if we needed anything and offered recommendations for dining. The house was well furnished with everything we needed. We would definitely recommend.

We really enjoyed our stay. The home was beautiful and it was refreshing to stay in a home and neighborhood with so much history and beautiful architecture. We did wish there was a little blurb with history of the house and neighborhood. It would just add to the experience.Hosts were attentive to any needs we might have, although all was provided.The home was clean, beds were comfortable, plenty of high end linens. Our favorite place was the back porch. We spent morning and evening hours enjoying the PORCH!Thank you and we hope to be back soon!

This house is amazing! It combines the nostalgia from earlier times and the charm of the area in present day. Not only is the house amazing, but the property itself. It sits on what I suspect is an acre or more, and is surrounded by a number of live oak trees. The front porch provides a welcoming spot to sit and enjoy the breeze. Also, it is a short drive from downtown Fairhope and the Fairhope pier where incredible sunsets can be witnessed.Check-in was incredibly easy. Our first impression was that the house was very clean and very well appointed. It had everything that we needed for our stay. If you are in the Fairhope Alabama area, I highly recommend you consider choosing this property for your stay. You will not be disappointed!
