About this house rental
The space
Welcome to Sweet Home Bama Hideaway, your inviting home base in the heart of Tuscaloosa’s Historic District. This beautifully maintained split-level home offers four distinct levels of living space, making it ideal for parents visiting their UA students, football weekends, graduations, or extended family getaways. There’s plenty of room to gather, relax, and make memories — all within walking distance of The University of Alabama.
Inside, you’ll find two comfortable living rooms, each with its own character. The main living area features a cozy fireplace, plush seating, and a Smart TV for family movie nights or catching game highlights. Just a few steps down, the second living room includes a wet bar and another fireplace — perfect for socializing with friends or winding down after a day on campus.
On the lower level, you’ll find a spacious game room complete with a pool table, air hockey, and plenty of space for friendly competition. The home also includes a variety of outdoor games like cornhole and frisbee/disc golf, plus board games and cards for indoor fun.
Step out back to enjoy the large private deck overlooking a quiet, tree-lined yard. It’s an ideal spot for morning coffee, afternoon lounging, or grilling before kickoff. While the yard isn’t fenced, it offers peaceful privacy that feels worlds away from the bustle of campus.
Each of the four king bedrooms is tastefully decorated with comfort in mind — complete with Smart TVs, ceiling fans, and warm lighting.

Sherwood Drive is in Tuscaloosa’s University Area / near downtown—residential streets with a mix of single-family homes and student housing. The area is within a short drive or walk of the University of Alabama campus, Bryant–Denny Stadium, restaurants, coffee shops, bars, UA cultural venues, and medical offices. The neighborhood vibe is active during the academic year (football weekends especially busy) and quieter in summer breaks.
Car: most convenient; local driving times to central destinations are short (University/downtown under 10 minutes depending on traffic). Street parking is typical for residential blocks. Rideshare (Uber/Lyft) and taxis operate in Tuscaloosa. Public transit: Tuscaloosa Transit Authority (TTA) runs local bus routes serving the University area and downtown—useful for campus and short trips but less frequent nights/weekends. Rail: Amtrak’s Crescent stops at Tuscaloosa station (2105 Greensboro Ave), providing daily long-distance service north to Atlanta/Charlotte/Washington/New York and south to Meridian/New Orleans. Air: Tuscaloosa National Airport (KTCL) is a nearby general-aviation airport (a few miles northwest) for private/small-charter flights; the nearest major commercial airport is Birmingham–Shuttlesworth International Airport (BHM), roughly 50–65 miles northeast (about 1–1.25 hours by car).
