About this property

WALK EVERYWHERE!! Downtown Designer Home Close to Everything in Huntsville

Welcome to Historic Hummell House, listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Our 3,000 square foot spacious home features four very large bedrooms and three fully renovated bathrooms to accommodate your entire entourage comfortably. We lovingly restored this grand home from the ground up in 2015 and it features 10 foot ceilings, original hardwoods, a grand staircase, comfortable furnishings and bedding, as well as designer light fixtures, artwork, and decor. We take great pride in providing an upscale, thoughtfully designed space for our guests. Our design work has been featured in numerous publications including Southern Living, The New York Times, The Washington Post, and Apartment Therapy.

The gourmet kitchen has stainless appliances, marble counters, and a chef’s GAS range. The dining room has a table custom-made from original wood ceiling beams salvaged from the home during renovation and can easily seat eight guests. Kick back and relax in the living room on our cozy, down filled couch. The master bedroom is located on the main level and has a plush king-sized bed, an original fireplace, a spacious attached bathroom with double vanity, and a large walk-in closet. (The master suite is THE perfect space for a bride and her bridesmaids to get ready for her big day.) The main level also features a luxurious glamour bath with a large soaker tub, ready for you to rest and relax on your vacation. There are three large bedrooms upstairs, two with queen beds, and one with three twin beds. If a reservation is made for ten guests, an air mattress can also be provided for the additional guest. The third bathroom is also upstairs, as well as a large sitting area. Washer/Dryer, WIFI, and cable is included.

Our home is perfect for weddings guests, honeymooners, family gatherings and vacations, traveling executives, couples and friends, or anyone looking for a quiet place to retreat that is near all of the downtown action. Don’t feel like cooking? We have over ten restaurants and bars within three blocks. Enjoy historical architecture? Take a stroll through our picturesque Old Town Historic neighborhood that features homes from the late 1800s and early 1900s. We are also on the route for numerous races including the Rocket City Marathon and the Liz Hurley Ribbon Run. So, if you are coming into town for a race, chances are, your family can cheer for you from the front porch!
Traveling with kids or a baby? We understand. We can provide a portable crib upon request. We also have a brand new children’s park one block away.

We’d love to have you as a guest at the Hummell House! Feel free to contact us with ANY questions you may have.

We were there for a wedding, 7 adults total. This is an old but beautiful house, and it had almost everything we needed. My impression is that it could have been maintained a little better. The front porch is lovely and would have been much more usable if all of the bushes in the front did not completely eclipse your view. There is a large dining table in the foyer which made circulation difficult and the other table in the kitchen only seated 2 people. The downstairs bathroom was so remote that it rarely got used so 5 people all shared the upstairs bathroom which was not ideal. There is absolutely no place to put clothing so you will live out of your luggage on the floor. One of the bedroom closets was completely unusable so we had to hang our wedding clothes in another person's closet. There are no fans anywhere on the property. Would have been nice to have one at night. Lastly, the lockbox for the single key to get into the property was stubborn.

We always try to provide a 5 star stay for all of our guests, as evidenced by our many many 5 stars over the last ten years. This guest messaged me a similar message after their stay was over, and I'm sorry that they did not email or call me during their stay. It would have been a simple request to drop off some fans for them, and even an extra clothing rack for additional wedding clothing. We live just a few blocks away and are always here for our guests. We let them know that during our check-in message and we mean it. I would have loved to know about any concerns during their stay to improve their stay. Communication is key!

A nice historic house

We were in Huntsville for a wedding and rented the Hummel house for my wife and I and our adult children. It is a very nice house in a quiet neighborhood and we will rent it again if we are in Huntsville again. My only caution to other renters is that three bedrooms are located upstairs but only one bathroom which necessitate coordination.

Great House, Location and Host!

Such a neat home with lots of character! In a perfect, quiet neighborhood that was perfect to stay with my mom and sister for a girls' trip while my son attended Space Camp. The location was perfect - a short drive or walk to downtown, great to get out for morning strolls, and easy access to the interstate. We enjoyed many local restaurants, making candles at Holtz, the french bakery, and the local microbreweries. We will be back!

Old Town Huntsville

This house is in a good location, close to downtown. The house is large with plenty of room for everyone. The only problem with the house is the AC controls are locked in boxes, so you have no control of the temperature settings.

Thank you for staying at our home! This is a "smart home" and the temperature is controlled remotely. We are happy to change the temperature, all you have to do is ask! We can usually change it within a matter of minutes.
