The Historic District:
This house is located in the stunning, City of Tuscaloosa Historic District! When staying in the historic district, you will be extremely close to Downtown Tuscaloosa, the University of Alabama's Campus/Strip, as well as wonderful walking trails with an old world, comfortable feel. The trade off is that there are strictly enforced noise ordinances and rules (noise - inside after 10:30pm, visitor restrictions, & parking restrictions). It is crucial that these rules are adhered to, as the historic district is under a lot of scrutiny. It is important that our guests are respectful of full time residents who have made their full-time home in this area.

Walking distance to UofA campus, Bryant Denny Stadium, walking trails, downtown restaurants, shopping, and more!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I cannot say enough good things about this property! The location was perfect. The house was so well maintained and working with Bama B&B rentals was the best rental experience I have ever had. They are so organized and attentive. Staying here felt like coming to stay with an old college friend. The property was beautiful, and the house had everything you need! I enjoyed the welcome basket and being able to walk to Bryant-Denny was an added bonus. I cannot wait to stay here again!

Great house

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Perfect house close to campus to visit our son for a weekend. The kitchen has enough equipment to cook dinner at home and the living room is big enough for a group to lounge together. Walking distance to everything, but on a quiet street. Bama B&B is super attentive with any issues we have surfaced over multiple stays in different houses. Customer service is perfect!

Great location, comfortable home with friendly hosts.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This house is better referred to as a home. It comes very nicely appointed with just about everything you could possibly need from one end to the other. The kitchen is fully stocked and ready to help you feed your family, the beds are comfortable, bathrooms well supplied with soft towels and other necessities, and having a separate laundry room is a nice bonus. Everything you need to provide a place for your family to truly enjoy the city of Tuscaloosa and the University of Alabama is available. Our Bama B&B contact was incredibly responsive to any questions or concerns we had, and maintenance was quick to remedy any issue. She even took the time to make us aware of severe weather, and where we could locate the tornado shelter if needed!Great location! An easy walk to Bryant-Denny stadium and campus one way or downtown for dinner the other. A quiet neighborhood during our time there.The only small negative we experienced, had nothing to do with the home itself. Fair warning to those that might not live near railroad tracks, or in town where dumpster trash pickup is a thing – trains come frequently, and the trash guys that empty the dumpsters on the street behind are loud. The dumpster dumping noise is only twice a week, but they do it at is 3am! Both can be a little shocking, but Tuscaloosa is a city, so it’s going to have noises everywhere. The good people at BB&B have thought to provide noise machines in each of the bedrooms for those of us unaccustomed to such things.Other reviewers have mentioned the long list of rules for the house. The rules are for those idiots that don’t know how to be respectful of others property and take care of their own messes. BB&B needs to protect their properties, and laying out the rules in detail helps them do that. Our family had no issues with any of the rules, and they were most accommodating when we made specific requests.This was the perfect place to st

Great Parents Weekend House!

We had a wonderful stay at Myrtlewood Cottage. The house was perfect for our family by being in walking distance to the stadium and sorority houses. The family room was very comfortable and kitchen had everything we needed to make some home-cooked meals for our student. Loved the outdoor living space! And the beds were super comfy too. Thank you and Roll Tide!
