About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

The perfect retreat! Tucked away on a private lane, 15min to downtown Fairhope.

This home is the perfect combination of cosy rural beauty and convenient access to city centre Fairhope and the rest of the Eastern Shore. It is located at the end of private lane on a one acre lot backing up to natural forest. A pleasant and restful retreat for a family or couple to relax and/or explore the local area. The rear screened in porch is perfect to view the lush and shady yard which has two private driveways for easy parking. The house itself sleeps 7 comfortably with all new furniture throughout. The kitchen has all you will need for home cooking, but many restaurants are also in close vicinity. Wireless internet, new TVs with Roku devices, and washing machine and dryer are also provided for your convenience. We hope that the John Deere House will be an excellent home base that you will love during your stay in Fairhope.

Our stay was great. We had plenty of room for our family during our daughter's wedding. The house is down a quiet lane and very secluded. We had our dog with us and there was lots of yard to run around in. The host was very responsive and easy to communicate with.

The house had everything we needed for a 4 day trip to the area for a baseball tournament. Kitchen has all the things we need to make a few breakfasts and dinners. It is very quiet and in a secluded area. The screened in patio was a nice place to drink our morning coffee. Our only complaint was we found the King bed in the master to be rather uncomfortable and may need replacing. We would probably stay again if we were in the area in the future.

Awesome property to relax in. Not far from convenient shopping, i.e. Wal-Mart. No noisy neighbors, unless you count the rooster who showed up the day we left, he is not afraid of people that's for sure! But he was fun to watch. As far as VRBOs go this was top notch!
