About this property

Starfall Lake Retreat--New Listing! Gorgeous, Newly Remodeled!

After being a 5 star, Premier VRBO Owner for 17 years with our previous lake house--our newest lake property is Starfall Lake Retreat-- a gorgeous,  newly renovated gem in Northwood Lake in Tuscaloosa, Alabama--just 10 minutes from Campus. The spacious 4 Bedroom floor plan has 2800 SF,  with two king bedrooms and two queen bedrooms, plus a twin over full bunk beds in the huge downstairs King Studio.  Three full baths will make your stay enjoyable--for 8 adults plus a kid or two.  
Newly remodeled with quality fixtures and furnishings throughout, the main level bedrooms are a king bedroom with ensuite bath, plus two queen bedrooms and a hall bath.   Continuing downstairs is the large, light filled studio with another King bed, plus a twin over full bunk bed, along with a large bath, and a kitchen area.   This is a brand new listing with a longtime Premier VRBO Owner. 
Altogether, we  have a total of 4 bedrooms (one is the huge studio) plus 3 beautiful bathrooms.  The two king bedrooms, plus two queen bedrooms, along with the twin/full bunk beds in the studio, allow us to welcome a maximum of 8 adults, plus a kid or two in the bunks.   We are just steps to the community pool, tennis court, and ball field--as well as just around the corner from the launch area of the private 69 acre Northwood lake.    Best of all, we're just 10 minutes to campus and downtown with all the fun--and the best restaurants!
Located on a private lot in a popular, rural family neighborhood, Starfall Lake Retreat is newly remodeled, with gorgeous finishes and fixtures throughout.  Bring your water toys & invite your friends & family for a fun lake retreat vacation--just around the corner is the entrance to the private, 69 acre Northwood fishing lake--or if you'd like to explore nearby Lake Tuscaloosa, check out Pier43, where you can rent a pontoon boat and cruise around on Lake Tuscaloosa.   Boats can be reserved ahead of your visit. Check out Pier 43 on Lake Tuscaloosa for details.  You'll also love booking a couples football trip to enjoy in this super convenient location!
Our private backyard, with deck and ground level fire pit area invite lingering over dinner with a little music, great conversation, chirping crickets, and memory making. A propane grill on the kitchen deck is super convenient to serving dinner in the spacious dining room.  Everything in the kitchen is brand new and ready for your fun times!
Northwood Lake is very popular with Alabama professors, due to the easy accessibility to campus--and you'll absolutely love this location for football week-ends, or visiting your student at college--and of course, graduation--which always books early.  Great accommodations for a family vacation retreat--come enjoy the easy living!   Plenty of room for family and friends to spread out, or hang out together.  Families will love coming from afar, and enjoying a staycation together.  Bama parents will enjoy this beautiful and spacious home to entertain your student and their friends.  
Comments from guests of our previous lake house:  
"Lake home perfection
Beautiful home! Our family stayed here for a game weekend and it was perfect. Bonnie was amazing to work with too."
"Awesome Labor Day
Stayed over Labor Day weekend and had a great time. The property contact was very helpful and responded quickly. Can’t wait to stay again!"
"Great Place
The house was great and the host was really helpful and responsive. Hopefully, it'll be available next year!"
Our standard rates are set using dynamic pricing software, which are determined by local supply and demand.  Please inquire with your specific dates and guest count to get the correct quote for your booking.  Different dates will likely show different rates.  Please note that your booking is confirmed after payment and signed rental agreement have been completed.  Trip insurance is available, and always recommended at time of booking.   CFAR is Cancel for Any Reason insurance, and will give you peace of mind.  
Wonderful restaurants are also nearby in downtown Tuscaloosa, if you get tired of cooking out!  Bama parents love to stay when they come to visit their student, and there's room for extended family to come, too!   We are located in a quiet, family neighborhood, and don't allow house parties, because we respect our neighbors' serenity.  We have tried to provide everything you could need for your getaway vacation--and just as our guests have always loved their time at our previous lake house over the 17 years, we know our newly renovated Starfall Lake Retreat will be just as loved!    Our wonderful housekeeper lives just minutes away, should you need anything at all.
The neighborhood is very quiet at night, and we respect quiet hours from 9 pm to 9 am. This is a non-smoking property--inside and out.  We enjoy the night sounds and the stars,  while visiting on the deck, or around the fire pit, late into the night.   The DR table is super fun for family game nights, too!   Starfall Lake Retreat has Ring exterior floodlight cams for your peace of mind.  
Please NOTE:   Because our neighborhood is rural and quiet, please drive slowly, as children and pets live in the neighborhood--and you may see deer crossing the roads at night.  While our newest lake retreat is not waterfront--it is just around the corner from the neighborhood launch where you can take a fishing boat, stand up board, kayak, or canoe.   And we are just 4 houses down from the community pool, tennis and ball field
Sorry, we don't allow pets--this is our own vacation home that we love--and which we share with others when we can't be there.  Please give a little info about your visit and let us know if you're coming to town for a special occasion. We'd love to share our recommendations for local favorites!   It's our hope that you'll enjoy a wonderful vacation, & love our Starfall Lake Retreat as much as our family does--so please let us know if you have any questions.
We invite you to plan a staycation at Starfall Lake Retreat in Northwood Lake, and make magical memories with your family--while being only 10 minutes from campus.   You may want to come year after year, and we'll always welcome you back!    Families are finding a lake retreat  to be the perfect gathering spot for the whole family.  Large, spacious, and serene, with lots of room to spread out--we cater to families and couples who will appreciate our quality finished vacation home and love making memories as we do.   The backyard is woodsy and private, with a cozy propane gas fire pit area.
Until confirmed, rates are subject to change, and dates remain open for other bookings.  After the booking payment process is completed, please finalize & confirm your reservation by electronically signing the rental agreement and send Bonnie a copy of the booking guest's DL to Bonnie@SantaYnezHoliday.com
NOTE:  During booking you'll have the opportunity to add CFAR (Cancel for any reason) travel insurance to your booking.  This will protect you should you need to cancel last minute--and  we highly recommend it.

Bonnie was wonderful to work with on rental of home. House was clean, kitchen well stocked with useful dishes/utensils. Bedroom/baths we’re comfortable. We enjoyed the fire pit. Easy location to campus. Will stay here again! Roll Tide!

About the host

Hosted by Bonnie Adams

Host profile image
Born and raised in Tuscaloosa, a graduate of the University, I now live on the California Central Coast--but have lots of family in Tuscaloosa. This is our personal vacation home, which is newly renovated, and which we love. When we can't be there, we enjoy sharing it with other families who also enjoy their family time together, like we do! All of my family graduated from the University of Alabama, so of course we love Game Days on campus! Football, graduation, and holiday weekends book up quickly. This is a brand new VRBO listing, with a 17 year, 5 star Premier VRBO Owner/Host--and we look forward to sharing our vacation home with like minded guests.

Why they chose this property

We love how you walk into a gorgeous light and bright, open floor plan that was fully renovated in 2023. Because it's a vacation home with no clutter, we immediately feel all our stress leave. There is so much room to hang out together, or to get away on your own. We also enjoy sitting around the fire pit or on the deck, at night to talk, have a glass of wine, and enjoy the sounds of the nightlife in the wooded and private yard. We chose this location because of the privacy, and because it's just 4 houses down from the community pool and tennis--yet just around the corner from the launch area of the private, 69 acre lake. And best of all, it's just 10 minutes from campus--and all the fun, best restaurants in town!

What makes this property unique

A great open concept floor plan that works well for family get togethers. A very long driveway so everyone can park. Just 15-20 minutes from campus, and great restaurants, and less than 10 minutes from a Winn-Dixie.
Plenty of room to spread out, or be together!
