Unique Stay at the Historic Train House 2.5 miles from Stadium - King Bed
Enjoy being walking distance from the quaint and quiet elegance of Downtown Northport while being only a 5 minute drive away from the vibrant daytime and nightlife experiences of Downtown Tuscaloosa.

4 Smart TVs with all Streaming Apps Fully Stocked Kitchen, Bathroom and Laundry Front Porch views with 1 of 1 experience🚂 The space Every aspect of this home has been curated to breathe new life into this storied train house. No need to draw straws on who sleeps where, because every room in the house is its own little sanctuary.
Our home is fashioned with vintage furniture and unique modernities collected with our Home’s history in mind. We hope you get lost in this balanced take on a more wholesome and simple time.
While we are equipped to handle more, we think the perfect group size is 5-6. We are happy to host 8 but keep in mind it will be a little cozier.
As any good host in the Tuscaloosa/Northport area should, we have equipped each room with a sound machine that comes with multiple settings to adjust to anyone's disposition. Guest access Our home is located directly across from the Historic Northport Train Depot. There is enough room to park 3 small to mid sized vehicles. Before your arrival we will change the door lock to a unique code for your visit. Other things to note The train has no set schedule. On average it passes by 1-3 times a day but often does not come by at all.
Our Bathroom includes all you the essentials such as towels, toilet paper, shampoo, conditioner, body wash, etc.
Our Laundry set up also includes everything you would need including a washer, dryer, detergent, and fabric softener.

Very cool and unique place. Nice and quiet. Exceptional and consistent communication with host. Will definitely book again.
Great and safe location. Seven minute drive to University of Alabama. In the heart of the ‘historic’ downtown area. Such a cute little house. Plenty of sleeping room.
Everything was great, no issues. Owner was amazing, location was quiet other than trains a couple times of day, but noise added to nostalgia of homes location and decor. So much detail to give guest a bit of Nostalgia of years past.. Bedrooms were spacious with many sleeping options. Kitchen was well stocked and towels and bedding were all fresh, clean and crisp.
What a unique setting! Loved the stay. The train coming by periodically was a bonus (love trains). Everything we needed was right at hand. Easy walk to old town Northport, with good food, shops & galleries. The owners are responsive and provided a little surprise in the fridge. Some local craft beverages! Highly recommended.
This was a unique and beautiful property! the attention to detail and the lovely decor! Only reason for 4 star for families was because the location is so close to the train tracks if you are traveling with small children. We loved this property and will definitely book again if we are in the area!
Came into town for a Bama football game and the house/host couldn’t have been better or more accommodating! I’ll be staying here in the future when available
We stayed 2 nights and had our kids with us. Clean space, safe location and comfortable beds. If we ever find ourselves in Tuscaloosa/Northport again we will try and be back!

Devon with the Historic Train House made our visit spectacular from start to finish. The home was impeccably clean, fresh and incredibly comfortable. Communication was seamless and we were kept in the know from the start. We truly enjoyed our stay.
Loved this property!! Northport is such a cute town and super convenient to Tuscaloosa without the hustle and bustle. The decor in the home was lovely and very welcoming. We had everything we needed. The host was very accommodating and prompt to respond. Highly recommend!!! Will definitely stay again!
