Guest rating: 5.0 / 5
Overview
The Greensprings Getaway is a spacious 7-bedroom, 4-bathroom family retreat in Birmingham, Alabama, positioned just off I-65 for easy access around the city. Recognized by Bham Now as one of the top Airbnbs in the Magic City, it sleeps up to 16 guests across two full levels of living space, making it well suited to large families, reunions, or multi-family group trips.
Rooms & Layout
The main level features a master bedroom with a King bed and private ensuite, two additional bedrooms with King and Queen beds sharing a full bath, and a fourth bedroom with a Queen bed. The basement level adds three more bedrooms furnished with Queen beds and twin bunks, plus a living/game room with a sleeper sofa, giving groups a natural split between upper and lower level privacy.
Amenities & Recreation
The home includes two full kitchens (one on each level), a washer, ironing board, air conditioning and heating, cable TV with streaming capability in multiple rooms, and a private balcony. A dedicated game room offers ping pong and other indoor entertainment, while the fenced private backyard includes an outdoor grill and fire pit for gatherings, and is pet-friendly and kid-friendly. Free parking and free Wi-Fi are also provided.
Location & Surroundings
George Ward Park sits directly across the street for walks or disc golf, and the property is close to numerous dining options including Giuseppe's Cafe (1.4km), Exotic Wings & Things (280m), and The Battery (2.5km). Birmingham Zoo, Birmingham Botanical Gardens, Vulcan Park & Museum, Regions Field, and Railroad Park are all within about 5-10 minutes' drive, and Birmingham's Amtrak station and airport are also reasonably accessible for travel connections.
Best for
This property is best suited to large families, multi-generational groups, or gatherings of friends who want to stay together under one roof, thanks to its 7 bedrooms, two kitchens, and split-level layout offering privacy. Its game room, fenced pet-friendly backyard, and proximity to George Ward Park and the Birmingham Zoo also make it a strong fit for families with children and pet owners.
Travel tips
The home is located just off I-65, making a car the most practical way to reach downtown Birmingham attractions like Vulcan Park, Railroad Park, and Regions Field, most of which are under 10 minutes away. Several bus stops are within a few hundred meters (Greensprings Hwy area) for those wanting public transit options, though the Birmingham train station and airport are several kilometers away and best reached by car. Guests should note the property sits near an event centre, so some weekend noise is possible, and early/late check-in can be arranged for an extra 30% of the nightly rate if needed.
What guests say
Guest feedback consistently highlights the property's clean and well-appointed interior, with particular praise for how nicely the spaces are furnished and maintained. One recurring concern noted is the condition of the driveway, described as uneven or requiring attention, which is worth being cautious of when arriving. Overall sentiment is strongly positive, reflected in the high 4.95 rating across 48 reviews, with cleanliness and presentation standing out as the main strengths.
