    ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ “The property was amazing. We felt at home. The cabin was squeaky clean and presented beautifully. The private porches and space is so pleasant. We also enjoyed all the extras....gated property (felt very safe and private), common area in yard (including the play area for games) and extra bathroom and bath, coffee, and half and half, and hand soaps, shampoo, conditioner and bath gel for showers. We were soo relaxed, wanted to leave shades open the entire time to enjoy the beauty of the gardens.” ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

This property was beautifully decorated, clean, and had multiple spaces for relaxing inside and out. There was good communication with the host. The only issue we had was not planning a longer stay! We definitely plan to return.

We absolutely loved our stay! The house was very clean, and the bed was extremely comfortable *something very important to me*. The house has many thoughtful additions that we enjoyed. Also, we were so close to downtown Fairhope which was easily one of the most charming towns I’ve ever visited. Dave was a fantastic host as well! He was very quick to respond and just a wonderful person all around! If you’re a foodie like me, make sure to grab all his dining recommendations! We are already talking about our next trip back!

A great peaceful retreat tucked away in an area you wouldn't expect to find such a beautiful place.Impeccable furnishings, and outdoor seating areas, complete with a fire pit, water feature, and privacy. Jen and Dave are ideal hosts with easy access and great communication. Would recommend this for any couple wanting to escape the madness of everyday life and enjoy a wonderful place to recharge your battery. Close to downtown and the great restaurants in Fairhope. We will definitely come back. Joe and Tina

This place is super cute and feels like a little home away from home. We did have a hiccup in the beginning but Dave and Jen were great and took care of the issue right away. Thank you.
