Weekend Stay
Our stay was ok! Didn’t know much about the neighborhood when I booked. Didn’t feel as safe as I would have liked in the neighborhood and house. Outside area including front porch and outdoor furniture needs to be cleaned. Horrible odor in the house. Inside of home was clean. I feel the price at this time is high for the area.

A beautiful property
I traveled to Montgomery with three friends and we had a comfortable and enjoyable stay. The property is a short drive away from downtown Montgomery with all of the museums, the capital, coffee, shops, restaurants and more. The house itself is exquisite, a beautifully restored vintage home with beautiful details and gorgeous design. Kudos to the restoration team and the decorator. The beds were especially comfortable.

the vaught house
The house Interior was spacious and clean and well supplied.
The exterior needs help.
The back yard is overgrown with weeds and there is an empty old garage that is falling down.
Parkling is on a busy street that is a too narrow for parked cars.
The front porch needs to be repainted.
Did not like getting a seperate rental agreement from an unknown sender to be signed before I could get check-in info.

Second Stay
Stayed in this location last summer and enjoyed it so much that when I returned last week to see Bonnie Raitt in concert……..I immediately booked this place again!
It’s in the heart of the vibrant downtown and having lived in the neighborhood in the early 90’s its feels like home.

Older home
The house was clean but had older home problems. You had to warn everyone when you showered because if anyone turned on any water elsewhere your shower pressure plummeted and the temperature changed drastically. We like to cook when we get together but only did so once because the pots and pan selection was awful and they needed to put shelf paper in the bottom cabinets that were raw plywood and nasty.
The rest of the house was clean and nice and communication with the host was good.

Wonderful stay
We had a wonderful stay at the Fitzgerald-Vaught house. The rooms were clean and spacious, the neighborhood close to downtown, and the hosts thorough and helpful. Wifi is good! Lovely neighborhood. As senior citizens, we could have used some form of stability/handle for getting in and out of the bathtub shower in the front bathroom. This being our first visit to Montgomery, I will say that we were impressed with the hospitality, history, and museums of the city. Thank you for providing a comfortable, well-appointed setting for a delightful visit.

Perfection
Whoever was designated to decorate the property…….understood the assignment! The most perfect example of mid-century modern decor AND more impressive is the fact that the pieces are authentic and not West Elm.
The location is perfect to downtown and historic in its own right. The neighborhood would be considered “transitional” but NEVER felt unsafe and the locals were very friendly and welcoming.
Thoroughly enjoyed my stay and plan to stay again my next time visiting.

Civil Rights in Alabama
We spent 3 days in Alabama visiting Birmingham, Montgomery and Selma. Montgomery was our home base and this property was great. It was spacious, clean, comfortable, well located and a wonderful place to return each evening after a busy day of site-seeing. The property manager was available, if needed. But frankly, everything worked out so well, we didn't need to be in contact except for checking in and checking out. Thanks!
