Birmingham Tree House

This place is beyond amazing! Staying here feels like you are on a retreat. Very quiet, very relaxing. Beautiful common sitting areas. Wonderful relaxing wrap around porch with a variety of seating. The house itself has so many unique touches, modern yogi vs quaint Victorian, a most awesome combo. I had 3 days here and wish I had more. The neighborhood is nice, great location. Highly recommend!

We drove through urban-feeling neighborhoods to reach this remodeled Victorian home, adjacent to the University of Alabama Birmingham campus. The hosts kept in close touch via text, providing detailed arrival and check-in procedures as well as directing us specifically to our room, the YinYang Room. Guest rooms are on the second floor, accessed by a wide staircase with heavy wooden banisters. Entering our room we found a hand-written greeting from our host. We liked Tree House so much because of its fun and funky decorations, furnishings and paint schemes. The overall yoga-studio ambiance, colorful handmade artworks and the signs bidding you Welcome, beautiful human! emanate a gentle and positive atmosphere. Interior spaces are roomy with built-ins, dark heavy woodwork, high ceilings, and a large, airy sun porch on the second level. I felt, strangely, young again!like a college student whod stopped in to visit friends rooming in a big old house near the U. Other guests wandered by and engaged in impromptu discussions. I rate the comfort level here as moderate, for two reasons. First, YinYang room never got dark at night, owing to the light from the police station across the street and the ambient light coming through the large glass transom above our door. Second, I found the breakfast choices somewhat spare, although I enjoyed a cup of lemon tea. Otherwise, the bedroom with its ornamental strings of lights and the bathroom with its rainbow shower curtain were quite comfortable. Adding value to our stay was the convenient location, a two-block walk to several restaurants and close to the Five Points area with its many interesting-looking shops. We very much enjoyed our time here and would gladly stay at Birmingham Tree House again.

The Birmingham Tree House caught my eye a couple of years ago on social media and I have been yearning to get there ever since! I finally made it this past weekend for a Yoga and Writing retreat and it was FANTASTIC (I could write a review on that but this is about the Tree House). I stayed in the Air room and it was a dream... clean, comfortable and detailed (much like the entire house). The location was fabulous... walking distance to delicious restaurants but what really makes the place so special is the care, love, and intention from the owner and staff. They genuinely care about you and your experience. The food they share, the words exchanged...all heart felt and nourishing. I had never been to Alabama before but I will surely be back! Thank you Renny and team!

Wonderful 1890s restored home in Birmingham with such a calm vibe and yoga studio on the first floor. All the rooms were large and our bed was very comfortable. Breakfast is included and has make-your-own yogurt, bagels, oatmeal and fruit with coffee, tea, etc. There is a roomy front porch with comfy chairs and a sunny sitting room above that is glorious for sitting and reading or breakfast. Clawfoot tub was fun but no worries- if you arent a bath person, the shower had plenty of hot water and pressure. The owners have created a wonderful, cozy place just a few minutes from downtown, walking distance from several restaurants, across the street from a small police station, and near the hospital area. If you are tired of generic hotels, I highly recommend the Treehouse for a unique and peaceful stay.

We have traveled to Birmingham a few times a year since 2019, typically stay in hotels in proximity to UAB but have also enjoyed AirBnB's in Avondale and elsewhere. Tree House was a great experience and will be at the top of our list for the next trip. Great location, wonderful hospitality and the accommodations were clean and comfortable. Walkability: Easy walk to restaurants and other spots in and around Five Points.
