We stayed with our kids ages 2, 5 & 9. We drove to Tuscaloosa each day for a camp which was only a short drive across the bridge. The kids loved the bunk beds and indoor play area. They all slept through the night all week in the bunk beds, and they enjoyed the indoor play area every day! The only thing that would have made the stay even better was if the hot tub pricing was included with the rental price. It does state this on the listing so we were aware of the extra fee, but we were unsure if weâd use the hot tub or not for the week and you canât add it on once youâre there. It would have been nice as an option to have already included and ready for us to use. Otherwise, the house was clean, lots of kitchen supplies were available and the neighborhood is in a nice, quiet area. Too shallow to swim off the dock area, but there are 2 paddle boards and 2 kayaks to explore the private lake. We had a great stay!
Overall, we had a fantastic time and found the property to be beautiful and located in a great area. The space available was more than sufficient for our needs, which was wonderful.However, I wanted to mention a few minor issues we encountered. Firstly, we noticed that there were no life jackets available, so future guests should be advised to bring their own. Additionally, we paid extra for the hot tub, but unfortunately, the hot tub cover was not clean.Lastly, we noticed a discrepancy between the smoking information listed on the site and the printed information at the property.On a positive note, Tanner was incredibly responsive and helpful throughout our stay, which we greatly appreciated.
The location was great-felt like we were somewhere remote-the neighborhood was very quiet. We did have turtles, ducks, frogs and birds to keep us company which was awesome!The house was very well equipped and comfortable-lots of room for large groups.And even though it seemed remote, it was so close to event places (we were there for a rehearsal dinner and wedding) as well as campus, lots of restaurants etc! Tanner was an awesome host-feels like I have a new friend.Just wishing we had more time to just relax and enjoy the place-would for sure recommend for anyone and will stay there again myself in the future!
We had a fantastic time during our stay at your Northwood Lake Retreat!!There were a couple of issues but the host (Tanner) was great to work with and was very responsive to our requests/needs and he made everything right. The space was beautifully updated and we very much enjoyed our stay. It was perfect for us to have all three of our adult kids stay with us (including their significant others) and my elderly mother and all the family pets. Thank you for having a space where we could all stay together.
Found out at the last minute we had to work in Tuscaloosa during the biggest game weekend of the year. We found Northwood Retreat and were lucky we did! House looks brand new! Tanner answered all our questions and check-in was super easy. Wish weâd been able to truly enjoy the serene setting on the lake!
Our stay couldnât have been any better! The house is amazing and Tanner was great with all communications. Already looking at our calendar for dates to return.
