Welcome to The 86th Street Retreat - your home away from home—designed for gathering, unwinding, and enjoying the simple moments together.

At the heart of the home, a beautifully updated kitchen sets the tone with sleek marble countertops, a spacious island with a built-in sink, and everything you need to cook, serve, and connect. Whether you're starting your morning with coffee or winding down with a shared meal, this space was made to bring people together.

The living room offers a comfortable place to relax, with plenty of seating and a cozy fireplace that creates an inviting atmosphere after a full day out.

Just down the hall, you’ll find thoughtfully arranged sleeping spaces designed with flexibility in mind. One bedroom features a king bed for a more elevated, restful retreat, while another offers a cozy queen. The additional sleeping area includes a combination of full beds and bunk beds—perfect for groups, families, or anyone traveling together who wants both comfort and convenience.

Step outside to enjoy one of the home’s standout features—a covered outdoor picnic-style dining area. It’s the perfect spot for slow mornings, casual dinners, or simply enjoying time together outside. The fenced backyard adds an extra layer of privacy, with space to relax, grill, and unwind.

Located just minutes from Ruffner Mountain, you’ll have easy access to one of Birmingham’s most loved outdoor spaces, with miles of trails, scenic overlooks, and a peaceful escape into nature. You’re also a short drive from downtown, local restaurants, and everyday essentials—making it easy to explore while still enjoying a quiet, residential setting.

Whether you're here for a weekend getaway or an extended stay, this home offers a comfortable, well-designed space to settle in and make it your own.

Cancellation Policy: One hundred percent (100.00%) of the total booking charges will be refunded if the cancellation is made more than 14 days prior to the arrival date of the reservation. For cancellations made within 14 days prior to the arrival date, no refund will be issued.

Hi there! I’m the owner and operator of a short-term rental business built around one simple goal: making guests feel right at home. I absolutely love what I do — especially designing spaces that are clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully stocked for a five-star stay. When I’m not hosting, you’ll find me spending time with my family, hanging out with my dogs, experimenting in the kitchen, or unwinding with a good video game. I’m all about the little details and genuinely enjoy helping people have the best stay possible. Travel plays a big part in my life, too — from honeymooning in Iceland, to exploring Mexico, to visiting family in Orlando and Gulf Shores. I know what it feels like to have an amazing stay, and that’s exactly the experience I aim to deliver to every guest. If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to reach out. I’m happy to help and excited to host you!
