DETAILS:


One of five private apartments in Eden Brae, a renovated southern gothic mansion featured in Birmingham Magazine, this comfortable and inviting apartment, with plenty of space for your entire group. Fantastic for families or groups of friends, this sunny apartment will be your home away from home.

Here, you will enjoy the privacy of your own space while still having access to the property's many amenities. This 1000sf apartment is on the second floor and has a dedicated staircase and balcony for its use only. A roll-down shade adds privacy and sun protection for your morning coffee on your own balcony.

The modern and comfy contemporary styling of this apartment will make you want to move right in. Original art and hand made ceramics decorate your living space, adding to the feeling of home. Relax into the sun filled bean bag reading nook, and explore your own book or one of ours. Your entertainment center is a smart TV with Netflix, Hulu and more. Poker chips are on offer if you want to take a chance with card games.
The hallway is a great place to hang your jacket, or pick up the house wifi password. The laundry room is along the way as well.

Our inviting kitchen welcomes you to cook and linger just to enjoy the space. Bright sunny windows and a long antique farm mirror surround the in kitchen dining with cozy seating for 6. The business end of the kitchen has a dishwasher, large stainless sink, and butcher block counter tops. We stocked everything we could think of to make it easy for you to feel at home in this kitchen. We want your cooking to be the best it can be! We provide a wide selection of teas as well as organic french press coffee.

The master bedroom has a king size memory foam bed for your comfort.
You'll enjoy dreamy sheets on the silky Comphy sheets. The dresser in the master bedroom is a lovely place to dress for the day, and the reading nook can be a quiet place to peruse the book shelf.

With queen sized bunk beds, a full daybed, and a twin trundle, the second bedroom can comfortably sleep your entire crew. Each bunk has its own light and special space. The top bunk is beneath the old porch ceiling, made of dark richly stained oak, creating a wonderfully cozy place to rest. The bottom bunk has a hidden nook under the stairs. You won't be able to resist the memory foam mattresses and incredibly soft linens on all of the beds.

You will feel like you are stepping into a spa when you enter the bathroom. The refurbished cast iron soaking tub, and endless hot water, will not disappoint. We provide complementary organic, paraben- and cruelty-free shampoo, conditioner and body wash for our guests. We also provide a hair dryer and diffuser, as well as first aid and essentials.

Highland Park Golf and Tennis Club is just a block away. Open to the public, it is very easy to play a round of golf or a game of tennis during your stay. With amazing course conditions and incredible views of the city skyline, the Highland Park golf course is beloved by locals and visitors alike. Play 9- or 18- holes or enjoy the driving range. Tee times are easy to book online, in person, or by phone. If tennis is your sport, you are in luck. The Highland Park Racquet Club is next door and easy to access. Clay courts and hard courts are available for single or doubles play.

If you are in the mood for something more relaxed, the church around the corner has a beautiful public stone meditation path. Rushton Park, one of the three parks lining Highland Avenue, is just a couple of blocks away. A favorite among locals, it's a wonderful place to enjoy a pretty day. If you are traveling with kids, you will love Rushton Park's gated playground. Or, if you are in for something more active, try the park's basketball or volleyball court. Just outside the park, you will find a few popular local eateries. In the mood for a coffee or pastries, try O'Henry's. Or, stroll next door to Rojo, a popular Mexican restaurant with indoor and outdoor dining. It's dog friendly and regularly features live music and entertainment.

Great property!!
Our stay was awesome!! I just love the landscaping of the property and the vintage vibe. The French press was a great treat to try. The only reason I did not give 5 stars was the fridge/freezer did not provide ice or water. A simple fix to provide a Brita and some ice trays. And the remotes all had dead batteries. Other than that it was really nice!!

About the host

I am a Birmingham native who loves to travel and explore with my family. I love to create unique rental spaces that welcome others to Birmingham. If you ever need a recommendation on great food or drink, or if you have any questions about Birmingham history, I'm your woman.

Why they chose this property

This property is so special. It was a historic Southern Gothic mansion, which had been owned for many year's by a foreign attache from Birmingham. He had an eclectic art collection and a vast library of books (many of them you will find around the home). My wife and I purchased the house from his estate in 2017 and worked for over a year to make it a one-of-a-kind vacation rental. Each of the house's five apartments has its own vibe and decor -- from artsy and modern to a fun 70's revival. The set up of the house is perfect for groups traveling together, as it offers the privacy of separate apartments with many shared spaces, both inside and out. When the whole house isn't rented, we offer the individual apartments for rent, giving guests access to the home's beautiful outdoor amenities.
