Tuscaloosa House 2 Mi to Coleman Coliseum!
Guest rating: 4.2 / 5
Overview
This is a two-bedroom, one-bathroom vacation rental house in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, located about two miles from Coleman Coliseum and Bryant-Denny Stadium. The home is one of two bookable rentals on the same property, so other travelers may occasionally be present on-site. Access requires navigating stairs, and the exterior is monitored by six motion-activated security cameras that face outward toward driveways and porches rather than into the home.
Rooms
The house sleeps guests across two bedrooms: one with a queen bed and a second with a queen bed plus a futon, making it workable for small groups or families needing extra sleeping space. Living areas include a dining table, ceiling fans, and natural light, along with Smart TVs and cable TV for downtime.
Kitchen & Amenities
A full kitchen with a stove/oven, microwave, dishwasher, blender, coffee maker, and toaster allows guests to prepare their own meals rather than eat out for every meal. Additional conveniences include a washer and dryer, laundry detergent, an ironing board, central air conditioning and heating, hair dryer, hangers, board games, and books. Free Wi-Fi and free parking (a shared driveway for two vehicles) round out the practical amenities.
Location
The property sits roughly two miles from the University of Alabama, The Strip, Bryant-Denny Stadium, Coleman Coliseum, the Paul W. Bryant Museum, and the Alabama Museum of Natural History, making it a convenient base for game days and campus visits. Downtown Tuscaloosa and the Tuscaloosa Amphitheater are about three miles away, and the Tuscaloosa River Walk offers a nearby outdoor option. Dining choices within a couple of miles include Metro Diner, El Agave Mexican Grill & Bar, Ameer's Mediterranean Cafe, Hooligans Restaurant, and Legends Bistro and Lounge, and the Tuscaloosa train station is about 2.4 km away.
Best for
This rental suits University of Alabama football fans and campus visitors who want to stay within a couple of miles of Bryant-Denny Stadium and Coleman Coliseum while avoiding downtown hotel prices. It also works well for small families or groups needing two bedrooms, a full kitchen, and laundry facilities for a longer, self-catered stay. Guests who don't mind stairs and shared-driveway parking will get the most value from the location and amenities.
Travel tips
Game-day traffic near Bryant-Denny Stadium and Coleman Coliseum can be heavy, so budget extra time or consider a rideshare for the roughly two-mile trip on event days. The Tuscaloosa train station is under 2.5 km away for those arriving by rail, while Birmingham-Shuttlesworth International Airport is about 52 miles out, so plan for a highway drive rather than a short transfer. Since the home requires stairs and shares its driveway with another on-site rental, travelers with heavy luggage or mobility concerns should factor that into arrival logistics.

On the negative side, some guests reported maintenance issues during their stay, including a non-working microwave, shower, and air conditioning, which led to an uncomfortable experience despite the proximity being appreciated.
