There are plenty of pool toys for the kids, or those that are young at heart! Due to insurance requirements, there is no longer a slide that goes into the pool. However, the slide has been relocated to the playground! While pets/fur babies are not allowed in the pool, they are more than welcome to stay with you at Bama Cottage! The fully fenced in yard will keep your children happy and your pets safe! The steps that lead off the deck to a grassy area is the perfect place to toss a ball.

The house was extremely clean and well kept. Everything was in perfect working order and the pool/patio area was beautiful. The location was very convenient to the University and restaurants and shopping. I wouldn't hesitate to rent it again.

Roll Tide! The Bama Cottage Experience
We had a wonderful stay at the Bama Cottage in Tuscaloosa! The house is quaint, well-adorned, and full of charm. The outside deck and pool were a highlight, providing a perfect spot for relaxing and spending quality time together. While the neighborhood felt a little sketchy at first glance, it seems to be undergoing some renovation and revitalization, which is encouraging. The location was incredibly convenient, with easy access to the campus, shopping, and local attractions.
Overall, we had a great experience and would definitely stay here again, especially with a group of friends who enjoy hanging out, relaxing, and enjoying each other's company. Highly recommend!
