Terrific, convenient property. Very clean, lovely extra touches such as a welcome basket, lots of suggestions on things to do and see. It was perfect for our group, and walkable to most anywhere near the Stadium. Great property and hosts!
Loved everything about our stay! Location was great- walkable to campus and the stadium and downtown Tuscaloosa. Cute and comfy and clean. Communication was easy and friendly. We are looking forward to returning
We were in Tuscaloosa for a wedding and stayed at Magnolia House for a long weekend. The house is very nicely appointed and spotless! I loved the mostly fenced large backyard with two fire pits, a large TV and plenty of seating. The only two drawbacks - no dresser to unpack or put things on and the blinds in the bedrooms are not blackout so the security lights kept us awake at night. In spite of those two issues, I highly recommend!

Another great stay at a Bama B&B property!! Magnolia was a charming home for our family to stay at while visiting our student at the university! It was very comfortable, decorated well and charming. The team at Bama B&B did a great job in preparing us for our visit as well as helping with any extra questions or concerns.
House was perfect for the grandparents, parents, and siblings celebrating an Alabama graduate.

This house to me is quite literally the best place to stay in tea town for game day graduation or a visit to your student. Four big bedrooms all with bathrooms, a large open area inside and availability to a backyard seating area.
The house was clean and well stocked. The furnishings were comfortable and well kept. The extra touches by the management company were greatly appreciated.
We had a fantastic stay in this nicely designed and perfectly located home. We visited for our daughter's parents weekend and found the house larger than expected and nicely appointed. We only wish it was available for weekends we plan to return for football games. The property management office was incredibly responsive and pleasant. We will definitely stay here again when it's available for our future stays.
We absolutely loved our stay at Magnolia in Tuscaloosa! From start to finish, this place exceeded our expectations. The home itself is beautiful, thoughtfully designed, and clearly cared for. Every detail felt intentional, and it had everything we needed to feel right at home.The location couldn’t have been better. We were close to everything we wanted to do, which made getting around easy and stress-free. Whether we were heading out for the day or coming back to relax, the convenience was a huge plus.The hosts were fantastic. Communication was easy, they were welcoming and responsive, and you could tell they genuinely care about their guests’ experience. The candy and snacks waiting for us when we arrived were such a sweet touch (literally!) and a really thoughtful way to make us feel welcome right off the bat.If you’re looking for a comfortable, well-located, beautifully maintained spot in Tuscaloosa with hosts who go above and beyond, Magnolia is the place. We’d stay here again in a heartbeat and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area.

The Magnolia was the perfect vacation rental for our gathering of sorority sisters and husbands. The layout and design of this property reflects great attention to detail - furnishings, well stocked kitchen with beautiful dishes and serving pieces, plenty of glassware, a well stocked coffee bar, excellent bedding and linens, and the most adorable front porch for sitting and visiting! This property is in pristine condition and very clean! Our group raved about this home and we will book again. Thank you for all you did to make our stay at this great house so enjoyable!
