Family Retreat in Birmingham – 7BR/4BA
Guest rating: 4.9 / 5
Overview
Family Retreat in Birmingham – 7BR/4BA (also referenced as The Greensprings Getaway) is a large, two-level home in Bessemer designed for big groups, with sleeping capacity up to 16 across 7 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. It has been recognized by Bham Now among “5 charming Airbnbs” for stays in Birmingham’s “Magic City.” The house sits just off I-65, positioned as a spacious base for exploring Birmingham-area attractions.
Bedrooms & bathrooms
The main level includes a king master bedroom with a private ensuite, plus additional bedrooms with a king and two queen beds; two of these bedrooms access a full bath via a shared hallway. The basement level adds three more bedrooms furnished with queen beds and twin bunks, along with a basement living/game room that includes a sleeper sofa. The two-level setup is intended to give larger parties more privacy and separation.
Kitchens & in-home essentials
A notable feature is two full kitchens—one on the main level and one in the basement—adding flexibility for multi-family stays and group meal planning. Documented amenities include air conditioning, heating, a fireplace, washer, kitchen appliances (microwave and oven stove), an ironing board, cable TV, and free Wi‑Fi. Free parking is available on site.
Recreation & outdoor space
For indoor entertainment, the home includes a game room with ping-pong and other activities, plus multiple TVs with streaming capabilities. Outside, there’s a large private fenced backyard suited to pets, with a patio/balcony space and a fire pit area for group hangouts. These features make the property oriented toward staying in as much as going out.
Location & what’s nearby
The home is described as just off I‑65, with quick access to downtown Birmingham (about 10 minutes). Nearby attractions listed include Vulcan Park & Museum (about 5 minutes), Regions Field (under 10 minutes), and the Birmingham Zoo and downtown nightlife/dining (around 10 minutes), plus Birmingham Botanical Gardens, Railroad Park, and UAB a short drive away. George Ward Park is described as across the street for walks and disc golf; note the home is next to an event center, so mild weekend noise may occur.
Best for
This property best suits large families, reunions, and multi-family groups who want a high-capacity house (7BR/4BA, up to 16 guests) with two separate living levels and two kitchens. It’s also a strong fit for groups who plan to spend time at home, thanks to the game room (including ping pong), multiple TVs with streaming, and a fenced backyard with a fire pit area.
Travel tips
Because the home is just off I‑65, having a car makes it easy to reach downtown Birmingham and attractions like Vulcan Park & Museum and Regions Field in roughly 5–10 minutes. Plan for possible mild weekend noise since the house is next to an event center. Early or late check-in may be available for an additional fee (30% of the nightly rate), depending on availability.
What guests say
Guests commonly highlight the home’s cleanliness, strong supply of household basics, and a roomy upstairs common area that works well for large groups gathering together. The backyard and in-house entertainment (games/books and recreation space) are also noted as positives. Some feedback points to uneven bedroom quality between floors, with the basement rooms feeling less comfortable for some due to layout and room characteristics, and bathroom access requiring longer walks for certain bedrooms. Billing clarity has also been raised, with at least one report of an extra-guest charge that surprised the group despite staying under the stated capacity.
