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.

This house is amazing!!! It was perfect for our needs. Our youngest daughter was getting married in the Mobile area and we needed an HQ for college graduation and the wedding. We had plenty of room for all of our extended family that traveled in for the festivities. There are so many little bonuses throughout the house - down to the fresh clippings spread throughout in tiny antique bottles. The weekend was full of rain so we didn't get to use the yard and deck as much as we had hoped, but a few did get to kayak and it was super fun for them. The rooms show off the 103 history of the house and yet the bathrooms and kitchen have been updated "just enough" to make it an easy place to stay. The hot water heater is on demand and so we never ran out of hot water - even with a house full of daughters and bridesmaids! I can't recommend this house enough. It was such a joy to stay there. My daughter was showing it off to one of the bridesmaids that came into town and make the statement, "I get to wake up in this house on my wedding day!"

This house was precious - accommodated our group of 10 perfectly. Clean and very well stocked - would stay here again!

Our second time here. Historic home on an exceptionally private, wooded, river-side home. Great place to chill!

This is our family’s 4th Christmas staying here & we absolutely love it! This house is so unique & has so much charm. We love the private lot away from a busy road, our adult kids love playing games on the lawn & hanging out on the dock. Some new pan’s & Tupperware were added this year, a nice surprise. Maybe next year a new mattress in the room closest to the deck! We love the history of this home, it has made our Christmases magical! * for those who have never been, this house is OLD the floors aren’t level, the decor is quirky, if that bothers you this isn’t the place for you. Which is great, because we LOVE IT!
