Houndstooth Hideaway
Guest rating: 4.9 / 5
Overview
Houndstooth Hideaway is a spacious 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom condo located within The Houndstooth Condominiums, less than a mile from the stadium in Alabama. Newly decorated and furnished, the unit sleeps up to 11 guests, making it well suited to groups traveling for game days or extended family gatherings. The condo is within walking distance of nearby restaurants and bars, putting everyday conveniences close at hand.
Rooms & Sleeping Arrangements
The first bedroom offers a SleepNumber king bed plus a sleeping nook with a twin-over-twin bunk bed and a twin trundle, along with an en suite bathroom featuring a tub and walk-in shower. The second bedroom includes a Twin XL-over-Queen bunk bed with an attached tub-shower bathroom, while the third bedroom has a king bed, a twin flip sofa, and its own attached tub-shower bathroom. Sound machines are provided in every room to offset noise from the adjacent railroad, and linens for trundle, bunk, and flip-sofa beds are supplied but not pre-made.
Amenities & Recreation
Guests have access to a private balcony equipped with a TV and electric grill, ideal for game day get-togethers, in addition to in-unit amenities like a full kitchen, oven/stove, microwave, washer, air conditioning, and heating. The Houndstooth Condominiums complex adds a 24-hour outdoor pool with a waterfall (open around the clock, though unlit at night), a 24-hour fitness center, and an elevator. A hot tub is also available on-site for guest use.
Booking & Policies
Check-in is at 4:00pm CST, with early check-in available on request for a $50 hourly fee, confirmed only 24-48 hours before arrival. Booking requires signing a pet policy agreement, visitor form, and rules form, plus photo ID verification through the AKIA texting system; guests must be 25 or older. Up to two pets are permitted with a $100 per-pet fee, and exterior security cameras cover the front, back, and pool/hot tub areas.
Nearby Groups & Group Travel
For larger groups, the same building one floor up houses two additional units, Rising Tide and Southern Comfort, which can be booked alongside Houndstooth Hideaway to accommodate bigger parties. This makes the property especially convenient for extended families or groups splitting across multiple condos while staying in the same complex.
Best for
This property is best suited for large groups, extended families, or game-day travelers, thanks to its ability to sleep up to 11 guests across three bedrooms and its location under a mile from the stadium. It also appeals to groups wanting flexibility, since companion units Rising Tide and Southern Comfort are available in the same building for those needing even more space.
Travel tips
Given the condo's proximity to the stadium and walkable restaurants and bars, guests attending games or events should plan for foot traffic and book well ahead of game weekends. Note that the pool area has no lighting, so evening swims should be planned with that in mind, and the property's proximity to a railroad is offset by in-room sound machines. Early check-in is not guaranteed until 24-48 hours before arrival, so travelers with tight schedules should confirm timing in advance.
What guests say
Guests consistently highlight the condo's comfort and cleanliness, noting it as a good value, particularly for group events like sorority parents weekends. Several reviewers were pleasantly surprised by how quiet the unit felt despite its location near college student activity, crediting the well-appointed rooms and the thoughtful inclusion of sound machines, even though they often found them unnecessary. Overall sentiment is strongly positive, with no recurring negative themes noted in the available excerpts.
