Avis The Cabin of Birmingham

We only stayed one night at the property but it was lovely and clean with all amenities available and close to local services/ restaurants.

It started off great while booking and asking questions was answered quickly. Once we arrived we had to go around and plug up everything in the house. Online says there is a jacuzzi or jetted tub however it doesnt work. I contacted the owner and they said they were sorry and the wife would answer me before my departure on what she can do to make it right. That was the last i heard from them. I have messaged several times and no response. The game room was freezing cold and not enjoyable. My main complaint is the no response and also the false advertising online.

Great place for a group. We stayed as an hotel alternative for a weekend track race.

Nice place to stay. Looks identical to the pictures. Close to the interstate but feels tucked away.

Nice Weather, Great Trip! Wonderful experience in a family friendly cabin with an easy access. Great host & hostess. Thanks again ! Shirdene

This property was easy to access/locate. The pool table and air hockey table were fun on cold nights.

Initially, it looked nice/smelled good. But everything was covered in dirt/dust. We opened the basement door, the musty smell of mildew was strong. It was dirty, including the games. Several loose/incorrect cover plates on outlets are in multiple rooms like the basement, the floor outlets had improper covers, which left outlets exposed on sides, which is dangerous. The owners use open game rm area for storage of random junk. We couldn’t use the basement futon due to smell & dirt downstairs. Of all cabins we’ve rented, this was the filthiest, least maintained. The upstairs shower leaked filthy, discolored water into the downstairs bathroom, which damaged several items. We called the owner, sent videos, and he seemed surprised. It had happened before. The wall, vanity, window, and curtain had old water stains & damage. The owner said, “just go ahead & continue to use it”. We said we could not keep using it, as it pours water into the downstairs bathroom, making more to clean up. Then we were unable to use 1 of the showers, left with only a tiny clawfoot tub. The owner said a plumber could come the next day. With our sched (including a wedding) we couldn’t wait for that. Owner offered if we could find new place, he would refund our money. We spent hours to find a place for a family of 7 (and 2 dogs) but couldn’t. The owner offered to (at least partially) reimburse but had to speak with his wife to get a “number”. After, we received no further contact. Before chk out, we got a message from them saying, “we hope you're enjoying your 5-star experience”. We said NO, then Terri responded by blaming us for having more people than we booked (which was untrue, proof on their video camera). She said if we had left right away, they would refund money, but since we didn’t, they would not. She said they did a walk thru before we arrived, everything was perfect. Shocking, due to the condition, but speaks to their inexperience. Had we found a new place, I don't think we would have got any refund, since they don’t honor their word. We never asked for refund for probs (as claimed by Terri)…this was offered by her husband. IF you book this bring your own TP, paper towels & trash bags. They gave 1 trash bag, 1 partial roll of paper towels, 2 partial rolls of TP in the bathrooms, for 7 people over 6 nights. Other things to note that are not controlled by owner: The neighbor’s dog is left out and barks continuously, day and night, which is heard in cabin.

We had our two sons and their children get together for the long weekend. A great place and great location for a short drive to the Zoo.. Thank you!!!

The quiet neighborhood setting is a nice relief from a long day at the Motorsports park near by. With shopping and restaurants a short drive, it makes the house a great choice.

Very nice property - comfy beds! :-) Thank you Terri and Mason!
