Luxurious Lakefront Retreat
About this house rental
This home has been a VRBO favorite lakehouse rental since 2007. Our great rental experience inspired us to renovate, refurnish and even add on a new master bedroom suite. This Lakefront Retreat is perfect accommodation for Alabama Game Day weekends, family vacations or corporate retreats. With four bedrooms and four bathrooms, 2 king size beds, 4 queens size beds and a sleeper sofa, there is plenty of room for a large family or two small families. This house is conveniently located off of Highway 69 N and is only 11 miles from Downtown Tuscaloosa. While access to Tuscaloosa is convenient, you will be taken back by the total experience this house has to offer. The house has a comfortable feel, a spectacular open water view of Lake Tuscaloosa and a gentle sloping lawn to water where you will find the perfect dock to enjoy Lake Tuscaloosa. This house sits on a beautiful lot which provides a park-like setting. The interior features a spacious great room with vaulted ceiling and spectacular view of the lake. Large flat panel TVs add to the enjoyment. The kitchen features granite countertops and stainless appliances. Keywords: Lake Tuscaloosa lakehouse

This was the perfect venture for our family weekend. There were 9 of us and plenty of space for everyone to gather together as well as privacy when needed. The views from the deck are perfect. House is very nicely appointed and the furniture on the deck was so comfortable. 20 minute drive to campus. We hope to visit again. Roll Tide!

Seriously, the house looked like no one had ever used it!! We loved sitting on the back porch looking at the gorgeous lake! The home was well decorated, clean, spacious and the kitchen had EVERYTHING!!! We were in town for our son’s wedding with our other adult children and grandbaby and everyone wished we’d planned to stay longer. We made wonderful memories in the home and hope to come back! The owner was so kind to work with!

This was a perfect getaway. We had the best time. The house was spacious and the location is great. A very easy walk to the lake to play, ride the a boat, or kayak.

this is second year we have rented this home. we like the separated levels so kids can socialize and play ping pong and karaoke on lower level while aduts enjoy main level. the loft with 2 beds is a great bonus. the dock with 2 boat slips makes a great swim place with small sandy beach and shallow water.

This is the second time we have stayed at this amazing VRBO on Lake Tuscaloosa and it was superb! The owner is extremely friendly and accommodating. The home is well equipped and the views are spectacular! Everything about the home is not only comfortable (beds, outdoor furniture…etc.) but beautiful. Although our daughter is now a graduate from UA, we certainly will return for some future football games! Thank you for a five star stay and ROLL TIDE! ❤️

Beautiful property! Plenty of space, relaxing area. Directions to the place from the owner were excellent and easy to follow. Not too far from the Strip and University, only about 30 minutes.

This property was very well maintained and very convenient to the UA campus. There's a grocery store 5 minutes away if needed. We chose this property for parent's weekend and could not have asked for a better experience!

The accommodations were really nice. Exceptions were, there was a fireplace, but no wood to burn. Having a fire going would have made it really nice. There was a propane fire pit, but NO propane. We actually left a tank that we purchased that was almost full. The floors need to be mopped well. Several of my grandkids developed “Walmart” feet.
But, the views were great. Places for many to sit and eat. Very nice facility to spend time away from the hustle and bustle of the city.

Fantastic remodeled home with plenty of room
This house was better than expected. Great setting on lake and beautifully remodeled with two master bedrooms with baths, two separate entertaining areas, gorgeous back deck, fully equipped kitchen and lots of sleeping accommodations. We stayed for a game weekend and wanted to stay longer!

We had a wonderful stay on Lake Tuscaloosa thanks to Mr. Barry and the accommodations provided. My family all commented how much they liked having their own sleeping quarters but were able to gather in the living room, porch and down by the water. The ping pong table was also a huge bonus for my kids. We hope to be back next summer as we all agreed a week on Lake Tuscaloosa was a very relaxing and enjoyable way to visit with family.

Great house for groups - lakeside retreat
The owner is very good with communication, and was in touch with our group far ahead of our stay. There are many many things we could promote about this house, but the view from the back porch took the cake. There are two decks (upper and lower), and they were perfect for lounging any time of day. The house itself has the kitchen on the main floor as well as a wet bar on the bottom floor. The rooms are spread out well enough that our whole group of 11 had plenty of space to sleep. If we make it back to this area, we will certainly stay at this property again.

Great weekend!
Weather was awful, but the house was wonderful and view beautiful. Driveway was a challenge to find in the dark but we found it. Nice getaway location within easy distance from campus.

Very Nice
Overall stay was Very Good.
Barry was very helpful.
Probably should update posting to let renters know that there is construction going on literally in the back yard.
Wasn't too much of an issue but would have been nice to know before renting.
Will definitely rent again.

Easy access and cool dips
Barry communicated with us about a week prior to our arrival that high wind had knocked out the power, and that we might have to cancel. But, he let us know a day or two prior to the rental that the power was back on. The WiFi was not yet fixed, but he anticipated repair by the week of July 11. We were two families (2 sisters, their husbands and children). The house's 3 bedrooms are on 3 different levels, which creates some separation. But, it's hard to feel any sense of privacy in the loft area Master bedroom, as it opens into the main living area. Might be good to put more visual warning (bright color or dangling something) on the spiral staircase, which is at head level. I bumped into it a couple of times. Nice to have access to washing machine and dryer with a group of 8 people. Propane grill worked well. Bring your bug spray if visiting in summertime. Very roomy dock area for swimming in lake. Loved the swim island. Easy to get to from Tuscaloosa and Northport. Overall a positive experience.

Gulf Coast Lady
We normally spend a summer vacation at the beach but we opted for the lake this time and boy are we glad. The house was wonderful. Plenty of room, picutures displayed the actual home which was extremely nice and the lake was incredible. The location of the home is perfect. Very close to T-Town but yet in the country. We plan on some fall stays if available. I highly recommend this retreat for famililes that have children of all ages.

Excellent summer vacation get-away
We have stayed at this house two summers in a row and absolutely loved it! Great location not too far from town/U of A. House is very family friendly and comfortable. Nicely appointed with everything you could possibly need. This area of the lake is nice and quiet. Great swimming area for our kids and nice flat yard to play in. We hope to return this summer!!
