About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

The perfect retreat! Tucked away on a private lane, 15min to downtown Fairhope.

This home is the perfect combination of cozy rural beauty and convenient access to downtown Fairhope and the rest of the Eastern Shore. It is located at the end of private lane on a one acre lot backing up to natural forest. A pleasant and restful retreat for a family or couple to relax and/or explore the local area. The rear screened in porch is perfect to view the lush and shady yard which has two private driveways for easy parking. The house itself sleeps 7 comfortably with all new furniture throughout. The kitchen has all you will need for home cooking, but many restaurants are also in close vicinity. Wireless internet, new TVs with Roku devices, and washer and dryer are also provided for your convenience. We hope that the John Deere House will be an excellent home base that you will love during your stay in Fairhope.

Great place to stay!

This is definitely a great place to stay and extremely clean. We did a girls trip and it was very comfortable for us and you are close to downtown Fairhope. There was 6 of us, we enjoyed the property very pretty and the house was great for playing games, sitting on the porch, watching tv, and just relaxing. Also a big plus there is plenty of lighting in the yard.

Quietness and the forest

We had a great stay and enjoyed the seclusion. The minor thing was we didn’t have the passcode to get in. I called the owner and gave to me. He started that the code should have emailed to me the day before.

A bit of heaven in Lower Alabama

The location is excellent for us... we have a 13-year-old Border Collie rescue and he really enjoys walking in the area.... quiet for him and few less distractions.. The VRBO is truly home away from home for us
