I can't recommend The Tusk enough. Plenty of space (we had 10 guests), CLEAN and tons of amenities. It's a mile down the street from Bryant-Denny, so it made for a very easy gameday as well. Everything was exactly as expected and described and, to top it off, hosts were incredibly responsive and helpful before, during and after the stay.

Reviewer Comments:
We loved everything about our stay at The Tusk”. It was so well appointed for our group and walking distance to downtown and campus. The home is beautifully decorated and we look forward to returning again soon.
From booking to checkout, the process was seamless. This property is exactly as advertised, with attention to every detail. From bath linens, to bedding, to kitchen supplies, it’s all top shelf. It’s very rare to find a property this well equipped and taken care of, in such close proximity to campus. Well done!
We will definitely be back!

This house was perfect for our group of 6. Two on suite bedrooms and two other additional bedrooms with separate bathrooms. We really enjoyed having the extra living area and the front porch with TV. It was a perfect game day rental being a mile to the stadium and also walkable to downtown.
