Fairhope's 1910 Tin Ceiling Treasure · 2 Kings · Live Oak Acre

"Make sure to eat at least one breakfast out on the back porch looking at the huge live oaks." — Sarah ★★★★★

There's no place like this in Fairhope. Built in 1910 and loved by only a handful of families since — including a Venezuelan consul — this 4-bedroom estate sits on over an acre of century-old live oaks in historic Montrose.

Every surface has a story. Original embossed tin covers the walls and ceilings. Hand-carved fretwork frames every downstairs doorway. The floors are original maple and heart pine that's been aging since before your grandparents were born. Original wavy glass and stained glass windows still catch the light.

And then you step out back.

The giant covered porch opens onto a private yard shaded by oaks that were old before the house was built. There's a fire pit. There are rocking chairs. There is exactly nothing to do but be there.

The Comforts

☞ 2 California king beds + 2 queen beds (sleeps 8)
☞ 2 full baths — upstairs has a soaking tub and separate shower
☞ Fully stocked gourmet kitchen
☞ 200 Mbps WiFi + 2 Smart TVs with Netflix
☞ Full washer/dryer on-site
☞ Parking for up to 4 vehicles
☞ Easy self check-in

The Location

We're on the Eastern Shore Trail — the 22-mile path along Mobile Bay — three miles north of downtown Fairhope. Walk or ride the trail straight to the Fairhope clock. Head south at sunset and you'll reach Stedman's Landing, a public beach access with some of the best bay views you'll find.

☞ 5 minutes to downtown Fairhope
☞ 12 minutes to the Grand Hotel
☞ 20 minutes to downtown Mobile
☞ 50 minutes to Gulf Shores/Orange Beach
☞ 60 minutes from PNS or MOB airports

Great place to stay!

This house is in a very convenient location for visiting Fairhope, Daphne, and even Foley and Gulf Shores. It is a very nice house that is well-appointed. The hosts were very accommodating and helpful. We enjoyed our 9 day stay very much and will consider again for future trips.

We had the absolute best stay at this Fairhope home! Dave was incredibly helpful and responsive from start to finish, and he gave us the best recommendations for things to do with both the kids and the adults. He truly went above and beyond to make sure our trip was smooth and fun.The house itself is stunning — beautifully designed and exactly as described (if not better!). The beds were so comfortable, and the towels and linens felt luxurious. Every detail made it feel special and welcoming.It truly is the coolest house in Fairhope, just like the listing says. We would absolutely stay here again!

Beautiful Home!!

We loved our stay in this charming historic home right in the heart of downtown Fairhope. It was clean, cozy, and full of character — close to shops, restaurants, and the pier. The perfect mix of comfort and charm. We’ll definitely be back!

Great property

We came to Fairhope for a wedding and stayed for a long weekend (Thursday-Sunday). This house itself and the location was perfect for what we needed. Dave was great at communication and made sure that we had everything we needed before we even arrived and checked in with us daily as well. Would definitely recommend this property to anyone else looking for a good and safe place to stay.

We really enjoyed our stay. The home was beautiful and it was refreshing to stay in a home and neighborhood with so much history and beautiful architecture. We did wish there was a little blurb with history of the house and neighborhood. It would just add to the experience.Hosts were attentive to any needs we might have, although all was provided.The home was clean, beds were comfortable, plenty of high end linens. Our favorite place was the back porch. We spent morning and evening hours enjoying the PORCH!Thank you and we hope to be back soon!

This house is amazing! It combines the nostalgia from earlier times and the charm of the area in present day. Not only is the house amazing, but the property itself. It sits on what I suspect is an acre or more, and is surrounded by a number of live oak trees. The front porch provides a welcoming spot to sit and enjoy the breeze. Also, it is a short drive from downtown Fairhope and the Fairhope pier where incredible sunsets can be witnessed.Check-in was incredibly easy. Our first impression was that the house was very clean and very well appointed. It had everything that we needed for our stay. If you are in the Fairhope Alabama area, I highly recommend you consider choosing this property for your stay. You will not be disappointed!

Location, location, location! Great views, lawn, and dock for swimming, sitting, and docking boats. Great screened in porch with large table and chairs, really comfortable to eat and play games at. Bedrooms upstairs need to use outdoor stairs to access the cottage and bathroom, good for teens and young adults. large bathroom with lots of space and nice shelving for lots of items. Owners are just up the hill if anything is needed.We rented a boat from Jake's Livery and boated all around the lake, great location to go to on water restaurants also to enjoy the many wineries, breweries, and hiking trails. On quiet lake road so walking and running for pets or exercise is very easy. Would recommend as long as everyone can do stairs to get to cottage.
