Charming 3-bedroom house in fabulous Tuscaloosa! Close to all things UA!
Fantastic 5 night family trip to Tuscaloosa to visit University of Alabama and explore the surrounding area. House was adorable with all the Bama touches. Loved the extra touches of coffee pods, creamer and water bottles in the fridge, and a snack basket! Host was very responsive and had great recommendations ...
