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 cozy rural beauty and convenient access to downtown 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 washer 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.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and 2 bathrooms, and there's space to spread out with 3 bedrooms. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a coffee maker, and an ironing board.

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!

Everything about this stay was either as expected or above. The home was clean and welcoming and the location was perfect. Truly a “perfect retreat” - quiet and yet easy to get to our weekend of wedding events downtown! Charles kept the lines of communication open - responding to every question in such a timely way. The beds were so comfortable and the porch in the back overlooking the beautiful azaleas was the perfect down time spot. We would definitely book another stay if we are in the area again!
