About this house rental

The Dan de Lion Lodge is a charming, historic home, built in 1918, as a "speak easy" during Mobile's prohibition era. Later it was converted to a home and added on to for family fleeing Nazis during World War II. Newly renovated, it is perfect for family gatherings, retreats, grilling, boating, fishing, watching mullet jump and relaxing sunset viewing on the wharf.
Nestled among 7 acres of Live Oaks and Palmettos on the banks of beautiful Dog River, this house is only 15 minutes from Downtown Mobile; a city famous for being the birthplace of Mardi Gras, delicious Gulf seafood and several antebellum homes in its 600 blocks of historic districts.
World famous Bellingrath Gardens is 30 minutes to the south and the beautiful white sand beaches of Dauphin Island are 45 minutes away.

8.0 / 10.0Excellent·Aug 2025
Nice home but quirky and kind of old fashioned. I’m sure lots of people love homes like this because it’s very unique but I thought it was just ok. The dock and access to the river was amazing. Worker out well for a few guys in town for work but I probably wouldn’t stay here with my family. Again, ok but not great.

Words cannot describe this place! Be prepared to stock up on food as you will not want to leave, the dock, the porches, the wildlife, the beds everything was perfect and wished we could have stayed longer. Marbury was an excellent host with clear communication and the place is better than described, the photos do not do it justice and would highly recommend.

Absolutely amazing time to gather with family & enjoy this home & it's surrounding area. Thank you for blessing us with the opportunity to create life lasting memories. Family from Minnesota, South Dakota joined here to celebrate my son's graduation from USA. Even in the Gulf Coast heat in July we enjoyed every minute!!

Everything about thos home was amazing. It felt like we were transported back into time. The grounds were so beautifully kept and the home is a total gem. Plenty of room for our party of 8 and over all we were very comfortable.
