Guesthouse vacation rentals in Shelby County

This house is a historic mansion and each room is curated with incredible colors and details. It was a one-of-a-kind experience staying here. Access to the kitchen and tease and hot water throughout the day in the beautiful lobby living room sitting area which we used quite a lot. There is quite a wealth of information about the history of the house all around. It was disappointing, not to see more of an acknowledgment of the contribution of African-American people to the history of the house.

We had a fun time visiting and taking pictures of all the decor and rooms. The grounds of the property are very pretty. Other than the loud bars and loud cars all night, we had a great time. Breakfast the next morning was very delightful with a variety of fruits along with a eggs,sausages and croissants. Paired with orange juice and coffee. Would definitely recommend visiting the experience alone is worth it.

This is mansion is an historical gem in downtown Birmingham. Loaded with beautiful period antiques, it represents antebellem Southern living at the turn of the last century. A truely unique experience enhanced by Sheila's hospitality makes this mansion worth a visit.

What an amazing value! Incredible breakfast, conversation, and location! You really can’t bet this place. It’s beautiful, quiet, and in the most walkable neighborhood in Birmingham. Sheila is a lovely hostess and shows great care for every guest.

What an amazing place!! Really enjoyed our stay, definitely will be coming back. A gem in the birmingham area and a must see! So gorgeous, and the owner is so sweet!

Sheila’s renovated mansion is gorgeous! The location was really convenient and it was a great stay overall. 10/10 would recommend you stay here.

This stay was wonderful. The home is magical, with so many antiques and beautiful touches. The home is terrific, and so is this history of what Shelia and her husband Ira (passed) have done with it. There's news stories and documents of the world reknown wood sculpting Ira had done, and the home is full of his treastures. The gazebo outside was amazing, and the grounds were lovely. Right next door is Chez Fonfon, a terrific French restaurant with a James Beard recognized chef. We walked there for our anniversary dinner, then to the "Cheers-esque" friendly tavern just across the street. The breakfast was terrific, the coffee kept coming, and the conversation with Sheila and the other B&B guests was enjoyable. Sheila has had some very interesting groups and guests over the years, and has a world of stories to share, and to relate to just about any topic that arises.

Great place to stay. Very interesting. Breakfast was awesome! Enjoyed meeting the other guests. Loved the game we played with Sheila. She is a wonderful host. The room we stayed in had plenty of room & a very comfortable bed. My wife did not like the mannequin in the room with the fancy dress on it lol.
