3 BR Nature Escape w / Large Yard + Home Office
Guest rating: 3.3 / 5
Overview
This 3-bedroom, 1-bathroom vacation home sits in Goodwin Heights, a secluded, tree-lined neighborhood just 5 miles from downtown Montgomery, Alabama. The single-story property blends a nature-adjacent setting with easy access to city amenities, accommodating up to 8 guests. It's a professionally cleaned, pet-friendly, smoke-free rental rather than a traditional hotel.
Rooms
The three bedrooms include two full-size beds and one queen, each with wooden flooring, ceiling fans, individual TVs, bedside tables, and closet space. The living room features a sofa that converts into a sofa bed, a Smart TV with Netflix access, and free WiFi, while a dedicated home office nook opens off the main living area for guests needing a productive workspace.
Kitchen & Amenities
The fully equipped kitchen includes an oven, stove, coffee maker, fridge/freezer, microwave, and cutlery, plus a breakfast bar and 6-seater dining table for meals. Additional conveniences include air conditioning and heating, an ironing board, a washer and dryer, and exterior monitoring via a Ring doorbell camera and flood lights.
Outdoor Space
Guests have access to a covered porch and a backyard deck, ideal for morning coffee or unwinding outdoors amid the property's green, hilly surroundings. A large yard and free driveway parking round out the outdoor offerings.
Location & Nearby Dining
Numerous restaurants are within a short drive, including CC Wings Seafood & Hibachi Express (742m), Sol Restaurante Mexicano & Taqueria (1,052m), Double Down Bistro (1,940m), The Cork & Cleaver, bb.q Chicken Montgomery, Baumhower's Victory Grille, WOW CRAB seafood restaurant, and Hibachi Sushi buffet. Montgomery Regional Airport is about 16km away, and downtown Montgomery's Civil Rights Movement landmarks -- including the Rosa Parks Museum, Civil Rights Memorial, and Alabama State Capitol -- are roughly 7-10 minutes by car.
Best for
This home suits groups and families needing space (up to 8 guests across 3 bedrooms) who want a quiet, nature-surrounded base with a large yard while staying close to Montgomery's restaurants and Civil Rights history sites. Remote workers will appreciate the dedicated home office and free WiFi, and pet owners benefit from the pet-friendly policy and yard access.
Travel tips
A car is recommended, as the home is set in a residential neighborhood roughly 5 miles from downtown and the nearest restaurant is a 6-minute walk while most attractions are a short drive. Montgomery Regional Airport is about 16km away, and popular sites like the Rosa Parks Museum, Legacy Museum, and Alabama State Capitol are each 7-10 minutes by car. Free driveway parking is available, so plan for self-driving rather than relying on transit.
What guests say
Reviewers consistently praise the home's convenient location near downtown Montgomery and local dining. However, recurring complaints center on the beds -- guests noted the rooms had full-size beds rather than the queen beds advertised -- along with cheap, flimsy furniture that felt at risk of breaking, weak water pressure, inconsistent room temperature, and mismatched flooring throughout the house. Overall, guests felt the property's furnishings and finishing quality did not match its advertised description, despite the strong location.
