Welcome to The Grove at 21st | Wooded Gazebo Retreat

Tucked into the heart of Southside, this one-of-a-kind retreat blends the energy of the city with a peaceful, tucked-away wooded setting. Just minutes from downtown Birmingham, you’ll have the best of both worlds—easy access to everything, with a space that feels like your own private escape.

One of the most special features of this home is the outdoor experience. Out back, you’ll find a beautifully elevated deck nestled among the trees—complete with ceiling fans and even built around a natural tree trunk, creating a space that feels immersive and serene. Just beyond, a covered gazebo with picnic seating offers the perfect place to gather, share meals, or unwind in the shade. Whether you’re starting your morning with coffee or ending the night under the lights, this space was made for making memories.

Guests will enter through the front door after a short set of stairs leading to a cozy covered porch, complete with a small table and chairs—perfect for a quiet moment before heading inside.

Once indoors, you’ll step into a welcoming living area with ample seating and a large flat-screen TV with Roku, making it easy to relax after a day exploring the city. The open-concept layout flows seamlessly into a spacious kitchen and dining area, where a full kitchen and a dining table for six create the perfect setup for meals at home.

The home features three comfortable bedrooms on the main level, including a king master suite with its own TV and Roku. Two additional queen bedrooms offer cozy accommodations for guests, while a twin-over-twin bunk in the basement provides extra sleeping space—great for families or groups.

With two full bathrooms and an in-home washer and dryer, everything you need for a comfortable stay is right here.

Located just 10 minutes from downtown Birmingham, you’re perfectly positioned to explore the city’s best restaurants, shopping, nightlife, and attractions—while still enjoying a quiet, residential setting to come home to.

Whether you’re here for a weekend getaway, a family trip, or a longer stay, The Grove at 21st offers a unique blend of comfort, character, and connection to both nature and city life.

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!
