Great home for a family
We stayed at the Cahaba River home with our teenagers and had a great time. Great house in a nice neighborhood close to restaurants and shopping. House was well appointed with everything we needed. Plus, a fantastic view of the mountains! We would definitely recommend this property.

The pictures did not lie. This was a beautiful home on the Cahaba river with a beautiful view of the Appalachian mountains. We thoroughly enjoyed the house and would stay there again if available.

This place far exceeded my expectations. Clean, efficient, welcoming and comfortable. Nothing can beat the view this home has. The welcome party (aka deer) were a nice bonus! Will definitely look for this place on my next visit back.

The pictures do not do this place justice. The kitchen is wonderful. The view is amazing. The towels were top notch. The floor plan was where you could be alone reading a book or where everyone can be together. High end appliances and very clean. We can’t wait to go back and stay longer.

Beautiful Home
Beautiful and comfortable home in a really great location, with close access to so many shopping areas, restaurants, grocery stores and even fishing opportunities. Great gas prices within 5 miles of this home.Owner was very pleasant to communicate with upon our arrival. We had no issues while we were there so I really can't say anything regarding his attentiveness to issues. Although I do think that not having any issues speaks volumes in regards to his care of the home. He is doing some remodeling in some areas and because the home was so beautiful as it was we hope that sometime after the remodel is complete, we will be able to come back and visit and just see how much more beautiful the home is. The best part of the whole experience was standing out on the back deck looking down on the Cahaba River and over the trees to the mountains in the area but far better than that was enjoying the deer that was walking through the backyard close to the river.
