Lovely home

We stayed a week in this home. We rested and enjoyed the comfort of the home. The owner has done an awesome job of taking an older home and decorated inside with updated decor. Beds are comfortable and there is a lot of room in this small home. It is very well equipment with all we needed. When we need to stay in this area, we will try this house again.

Perfect for our Hoover ball tournament

We stayed a few nights in this home with 2 adults and 2 teens for our Hoover ball tournament, which was perfect for that and 12 minutes from Hoover Met. We felt very safe here and it was so easy to get to, large yard, clean, and the directions for check in check out were easy to follow. It is an older home and very well decorated inside and well stocked with everything we needed. Beds were comfortable and there is a lot of room in this smaller home to spread out. We definitely recommend this house and will stay here again.We often travel with our dog but did not this trip. With the large fenced yard, it would have been perfect for that as well.Alise, the host, was very friendly, quick to respond to any questions and address any needs we had, and was willing to work with us around checkout times and potentially extending a day if we needed too. Overall, a great experience! Don't hesitate.

About the host

Hosted by Alise

Host profile image
We’re a local Birmingham family who loves making memories together — my husband and I have four kids, two sweet dogs, and a spoiled outdoor kitty. Exploring new cities and finding hidden local gems is one of our favorite things to do, so we really value authentic experiences wherever we go.
That’s exactly why I host the way I do — I try to treat every guest with the same level of care, comfort, and local insight that I’d hope for on our own vacations. We love supporting small businesses and locals, and I’m always happy to share recommendations for anything from food to family adventures.

Why they chose this property

The home is on a quiet street, with a great covered porch for drinking coffee or just watching the birds

What makes this property unique

What makes this property unique is how much comfort and sleeping space it offers in a cozy cottage setting. This 2-bedroom, 1-bath home is thoughtfully designed to sleep up to 9 guests comfortably, which is rare for a home of this size—making it perfect for families and groups looking for value without sacrificing space.

The cottage combines a warm, homey feel with practical features, giving guests room to relax, gather, and unwind together. Its layout is ideal for family trips, group stays, or extended visits, offering more flexibility than a typical hotel or small rental.

Located in Bessemer, guests enjoy a quiet, convenient setting with easy access to nearby shopping, dining, and attractions. It’s the perfect blend of affordability, comfort, and group-friendly space—all in one charming home.
