Located in Birmingham, this welcoming cottage brings it all within your reach. Ruffner Mountain Nature Preserve is just a short walk away, so you can leave your car at the property, which offers onsite parking, or jump in your vehicle to make short work of the 5-minute drive to Southern Museum of Flight.

This 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom rental features a living room, a fireplace, air conditioning, and a ceiling fan. Connect to the free WiFi, or get cozy in front of the TV. The kitchen is equipped with an oven and a stovetop, as well as an ice maker, a microwave, and cookware. And because there's a washing machine, you can go a bit lighter on your packing. Other amenities include bed sheets, a desk, and heating.
