Convenient & Cozy

This house reminded me of my grandmas house. It was very nice. It had everything I needed. It is super cute.The communication was timely and very nice. Loved listening to the records.Thanks for allowing me access to the collection. I had a great time, was so comfortable I was sad to go. It was so conveniently located to the conference center and places to eat. The beds were more comfortable than home. They thought of everything. Would stay again. Wish I had stayed longer.

Would definitely stay again.

Came into town to move my daughter in to college. It was an easy drive to the University, close to cute coffee shops and restaurants, and was located in a very cute neighborhood. The owner was very accommodating and easy to communicate with. Neighbors were nice and quiet. It had off street parking and the home was super cute and clean, beds were comfortable, and home had all of the amenities you would need to stay comfortably. I will definitely stay there again.

Perfectly wonderful!!

This was a wonderful, welcoming home - clean, comfortable, lovely layout and beautifully decorated. My entire family enjoyed staying here. It was our first family visit without having my family home near Spring Hill. We had fun exploring this wonderful neighborhood and being able to show my kids the Murphy High campus. Thank you. This little spot was a huge blessing to compliment a difficult and emotional week.❤️

Rock the Country getaway!

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The host was very responsive to communications and accommodated us with an early check in time. This charming home is located in a nice old southern midtown neighborhood! It had such an overall good feel on arrival and throughout our weekend stay in Mobile for a music festival. It is lovely decorated and well maintained with whatever you can think of but forgot at home!!! Thanks for the qtips and Tim Horton coffee! ... and we even had time to enjoy a few good songs on the real record player! Would definitely come back and highly recommend.

Old-school Charm

We love the record player and all the vintage records, the cozy front sitting room and the comfortable couch, the adorable bedrooms with the rocking chair, the handy air conditioning and having a laundry that we could use. The location is very convenient to downtown, shopping, restaurants etc but predominantly because it was so quiet and surrounded by cute character homes and large oak trees.

Nice home! Safe and quiet neighborhood

Thanks for the great stay at the Shadows. Everything you need is provided. Close to everything in the area. Good safe side walks to explore the neighborhood. I would suggest some sort of handle in the bath tub area for safety. A decorative handle could work. It does not need to be intrusive to the decorative theme. The bed in the room closest to the living room was most comfortable for us. We tried both of course. And the first room is more quiet as you can’t hear the ac compressor turning on in the second room.
