About this property

Hiking Near Ruffner Mountains! East Lake Stunner

Summary:
Tucked away on the foot of Ruffner Mountains sits our 3 bedroom 2 bathroom East Lake Stunner! This home has a HUGE main bathroom complete with soaking tub, double vanity and spacious shower. Heading north on the highway (roughly 8 miles) will take you straight into downtown Birmingham where you can enjoy museums, night life and everything else that makes our downtown area a must experience for visitors. The foothills of the gorgeous Ruffner Mountains are only a mile away. We hope to host you!

The Space:
Welcome to our stunning, newly updated East Lake home! Upon arrival you will need to navigate 7 stairs which will lead you to the front door. After you enter our home you will be greeted with our living room which has plenty of seating, a large flat screen TV equipped with Roku as well as a queen size sleeper sofa. The dining room sits just off the right of the living room and leads directly into our adorable kitchen. Fully stocked with stainless steel appliances you will be able to settle in and feel "at home" as soon as you arrive. The Master suite has a king size bed with an amazing in-suite bathroom. With its double sinks, giant soaking tub and large shower it might just be your favorite room in the house! 2 more bedrooms, one with a queen size bed and the other with two full size beds as well as an additional full bath complete the inside of our home. We sit on a corner lot which provides a generous size yard great for kids and pets!
This is a transitioning neighborhood. We think it is great, and have never had any security issues, but we understand that everyone has different experiences and want to make sure you are comfortable in our home. If you are concerned about the neighborhood, we would be happy to talk with you about it and answer any questions. We will not provide a refund upon arrival if you decide you do not like the area.

Guest Access:
The house has a digital combo lock pad. We will provide you with the code upon check-in. You will have full access to the home and yard. NOTE: Fenced yard is not fully enclosed

The Neighborhood:
We are located in an established neighborhood of older yet charming craftsman homes. We sit at the bottom of the Ruffner Mountains making this a great location for those looking to get out and be active in the nature preserve. Hawks View Overlook is one of our favorite trails and is just a short drive away!

Getting Around:
We recommend driving and offer parking for our guests. However, Uber and Lyft service our area as well if needed.

We require a signed rental agreement and for guest to be 25 years of age to book.

If you notify us of your intent to cancel prior to the lapse of the free cancellation period, we will return 97% of your payment. The other 3% will already have been collected by the credit card processing company, and we have no way to return that portion of the payment.


We are a pet friendly home. Pets must be crated when they are left unattended in the home. We do not allow pets on furniture or beds, and all waste must be cleaned up from the yard. All pets require a non-refundable pet fee.

Issues with plumbing
We had major plumbing issues shortly after we arrived on Friday, 1 person used the shower and it backed up into the toilets, we couldn’t flush the toilets and had to use a store’s bathroom for bowel movements. We had 10 of us. It was obviously an ongoing problem because there were signs in both bathrooms saying not to flush anything but toilet paper. I am angry because it took 3 phone calls and several text messages to get a plumber in on Saturday at 10:30. The main line kept telling us someone will call you back. Never did. Otherwise loved the house and location. We were there for my brothers funeral and no showers was a huge issue

Not quite as nice as it looked in pictures.
This is a nice remodeled house from 1935, nicest house on the block actually. The inside is nicely done with modern and nostalgic blend. And that’s about the end of the good. The neighborhood is not the greatest, which is mentioned way down in the description. If I hadn’t been booking in a hurry to evacuate from hurricane Ian I might have seen that they say they will not refund if you get there and the neighborhood is not to your liking. That should be a MAJOR red flag. The exterior doors do not give a great sense of security. Neither close securely when not deadbolted. The windows seem original to the house and do not open, partly because they are 87 years old and warped and partly because the frames and the rope that operates them are painted. I’m pretty sure that is some code violation. Floors are not level, especially under the dining table. The “nostalgic “ kitchen sink is nasty, scratched and rusty. The bedroom doors don’t close tight. There was no remote in the master bedroom making the fan inoperable. The soaking tub is only good if you like soaking in cold water. There was hot water to the master shower but not the tub. The pictures show a fenced yard, but the description does mention waaayyyy down that it is not fully fenced. Not fully fenced means half a gate missing and the other gate is so badly maintained that it won’t close. The “seven steps up to the front door” are not the only ones leading to the door. There is no way to enter the house without navigating stairs with no handrail. This was huge safety issue for my elderly mother. We ended up leaving after two of the four days we booked. When contacted the management company very bluntly told me they need to “adhere to their cancellation policies.” When I inquired about speaking with the owner I was told simply that “the homeowner works within the management company as well.”

FUN weekend in Bham!
This space was perfect for our large group. It was only minutes from Uptown/Downtown and our other activities. We loved the hiking and the trailhead was only minutes away.

Plenty of space
The house had plenty of room to accommodate our number of guests. The master bathroom was great and the king bed in the master bedroom was very comfortable.
