Beautiful family retreat
Upon arriving the first impression is a wow, and then you immediately notice how every nook and cranny is so clean. There was never a bored moment, even for our teenagers, The pool, slide, fishing dock, kayaks, paddle boat, games, pool table, air hockey, books, piano, and large yard were used by all. The kitchen is stocked to the max with pots, pans, and every other kitchen gadget you can think of. The supply of beach towels was impressive and most useful. We had a wonderful time!

We stayed for about a week, and can’t say enough good things about it. The house and host over exceeded our expectations. Very helpful and attentive host, pool was cleaned and chemical levels checked regularly. They let us know before coming by to do so. House has every amenity you’ll need. No need to bring anything, they have it all! You will be happy you booked this gorgeous and spacious home!

Bama Lakeside Retreat is an amazing home for family gatherings are other group get-togethers. We were there for a UA graduation celebration and has plenty of room for our extended family to join us. The kitchen and main living area were fully equipped to meet any need or desire, and every single bedroom was wonderfully furnished and included individual coffee makers and snack bowls with some also including a small fridge. The pool was great for the kids, and they especially enjoyed the slide from the upstairs master bedroom deck into the back yard. The view into the lake from the top screened in porch or from the wonderful back yard swings was beautiful. We all enjoyed the game room and shooting a little pool as well. The storytelling throughout the home made me feel connected to the owners. And speaking of the owners, they were so very kind and so very connected and responsive throughout our pre-visit planning and during our stay. A wonderful experience all the way around!

The house was perfect for our family from Mississippi, Tuscaloosa, Dothan and Atlanta to all get together to celebrate Mom's 90th birthday. With the pond, kayaks, paddle boat, swimming pool, game room, multiple bedrooms, large kitchen and living area, our daytime group of 30 had plenty of space and things to do on the rainy Memorial Day weekend without feeling cramped. Everyone loved the house and the area for activities. The house was very well equipped with everything needed to host this large group and provide all the meals each day.

Gave the parents the opportunity to hang with their kids,; swim and bbq. The rule book is a bit overwhelming. I’m hoping the owners & mgmt felt we left it the way we found it.

We have rented over a dozen different properties over the years and this one was the BEST. Staff was extremely helpful with booking, and swearing questions very promptly and very kind and attentive. I typically pack a bin of my “must haves” for food prep and did not need to bring any of them. This house fleas fully equipped and then some! We had 14 people, our 4 daughters and their spouses and 4 granddaughters. There was plenty of room for everyone. Ending each evening down by the lake on the swings roasting s’mores was a highlight as well as the huge pool with plenty of umbrellas for shade. We will be back!!!

Our family of 16 enjoyed the property. We all had some private space and a large space to gather as a family. The home is situated on a small lake with lovely views from the property. The home was well appointed with many many items to help make a short stay have the conveniences of home. It is about 25 minutes in traffic to downtown Tuscaloosa and the U of A. We were so lucky to have the weather on our side so we could enjoy the pool, small kayaks and the outside play area. There were toys for the outdoor pool that they heated for us for a small fee and pool and air hockey tables inside.The manager/owner responded promptly to our requests when we had issues and questions. We all felt that the rules and consequences were excessive and made us uncomfortable , but, the manager explained that the City of Tuscaloosa has placed many restrictions on short term rentals. Overall, it was a fun weekend with many memorable moments with the grandchildren snd our adult children and their spouses.

Reviewer Comments:
Awful - her contract doesn’t make sense, but you have to sign it. You’ll have to name all guests and tell her where they plan to sleep, then you’ll have to agree to excessive policies that threaten extra charges, ensure multiple signs in the home that threaten extra charges while you’re there. She’ll send unannounced strangers into the home where your children are playing and have her husband stop by daily to “check on the pool” and police your activity. People like this shouldn’t rent out their homes.

Family Time at its BEST!
We chose this property because it was able to accommodate our large family of 20+. The home is spacious enough to give everyone their own room/bathroom and provides areas for everyone to gather as well. The kitchen is fully stocked with any equipment you need to cook. We fixed every meal together and enjoyed family meals as a group. Each room has its own coffee maker, mini fridge, and snacks. Absolutely perfectly designed. There are tons of games, a pool table, air hockey, amazing outdoor space and equipment for s’mores around the fire pit or fishing off the dock! Communication with the host is flawless and they were always quick to answer any questions or concerns. If you’re looking for a wonderful place in this area, don’t hesitate! Thank you for being the hostess with the mostess :) - The Hay Family.
