Large private Monte Sano mountain Bungalow Sleeps 7-9

One story mountaintop bungalow sits on two acres and is perfect for a family vacation, girl's retreat or home base when attending a Lodge or Burritt wedding. Those interested in Huntsville's space history will find this house and the story it tells fascinating. With the wonder of nature right outside your back door, you are able to walk or ride a bike to the state park with its beautiful hiking trails and you are still only minutes away from the Medical District, 5 Points and the Space and Rocket Center. If you head west you are only 5 miles from the Robert Trent Jones golf course and Hampton Cove. This fully furnished home has a king bed in the master bedroom with a huge walk in closet (which has a youth bed in it), a queen bed in the second bedroom, and two twins or a king in the library. There are also two foldaway beds, 3 camp cots and a baby bed if needed. The house has two full bathrooms; one with a tub shower, and the other with a walk in shower. There are two steps down (with handicap handrail) from the living room to the bedrooms. There is plenty of closet space, a full sized washer and dryer, iron and ironing board, cookware, dishes and utensils, a dining table that will seat 10, a well stocked library and a gorgeous fireplace to sit and enjoy yourself for as long as you like. TV, high speed wireless internet, outdoor fire pit grill, screened porch, pool table, and many more amenities are provided. This lovely home is filled with beautiful antiques, oriental carpets and all the extras to make you feel right at home. The hosts live next door and can help with any particular needs you might have. No pets allowed, but we have 2 dogs you can borrow if you need a hug!

Hidden Gem!
When you plan your vacation, it is important to make your living place add to your adventure. If your plans are to come visit Huntsville for the U.S. Space and Rocket Museum, then this is that place you want to stay. This charming place was rich with character and a story to add to your museum visit. We liked that we were away from down town but close enough to enjoy it. They are up on the foothills near a State Park that is worth adding to your visit. We came here with 4 kids ages 9 and under, and they talked about this place for days after. The kitchen is well stock with all you need for creating meals in. A pool table and trampoline to keep kids entertained. A must stay, and when we plan to make our trip back for Space Camp, I know where we will be staying!

Lovely house in great surroundings
We loved our stay. The house is a “real” home with lots of personal items and history. It made us feel right at home. The kitchen is well stocked for those who enjoy cooking, and the kids loved the pool table and trampoline. Sunrises are beautiful in the master bedroom. We also really enjoyed meeting Lisa and Fred and their two dogs.

Simply the best!
Fun, warm and welcoming home with all the amenities for a family stay! We have enjoyed getting to know the family as much as we’ve enjoyed hosting our own family members. It has become our home away from home! Now that there’s a pool table, we never wanted to leave. We’ve hosted Thanksgiving dinner twice over the past few years and it gets better each time we visit!

Great House in a Quiet Location
We stayed while visiting our son who is attending UAH. The house was very clean, spacious and had everything we needed. We were able to cook a big dinner for friends and had all of the bakeware, dishes, utensils, and everything else we could have asked for. The owners live next door and were very friendly and responsive to any questions that we had. I would definitely recommend it and will stay here again.

Just like home
Several things stand out about this home if you are looking for an interesting place to stay in Huntsville. First, it sits on top of a mountain so it's cooler than the valley. Second, it is furnished with books, pictures and memorabilia instead of being minimalist. Furnishings are not new; they are mid-century style with some beautifully carved pieces. Great screened-in back porch with regular visits from deer. Charming hostess. Our family loved their stay!

Lots of beauty and history in a great location
This home was exactly as pictured, very comfortable and the location was perfect with a great winter view of Huntsville at night. It is within walking distance (less than a mile) to Monte Sano State Park. We enjoyed sharing the NASA history displayed with our grandchildren. The hosts were responsive and Lisa was very gracious; we didn’t get to meet Fred. This is a comfortable home, well suited for a family vacation.

Cozy, welcoming, peaceful
Welcomed by Lisa and her two furry friendly boys at arrival. She was readily available next door for questions and just to chat. The home is perfect for family gathering with three generous bedrooms, comfortable beds, several portable beds, fantastic dining room with seating for 8, screened in back porch, and fully stocked kitchen, plates, table settings. Lots of nooks for quiet conversation or large group gathering around the hearth. The yard is shaded by tall oak and beech trees, and despite a 95 degree heatwave during our stay, it was pleasant inside and out. Great a/c. So enjoyed our stay that we’ll be back everytime we come to town!

Great experience!
The setting is perfect. We loved being up on the mountain and were able to see the “Christmas Star”. The history of the home is very inspiring. One daughter and her family stayed at the state park and another daughter was visiting her friend who works on a thermal propulsion liquids team, so we really enjoyed the mementos. Having such a spacious yet cozy place to gather was the perfect place for us to all get together. From age 2 to 70, everyone had a blast!

Quiet Retreat in Monte Sano
Our family rented the this house for the weekend while visiting friends and family in the Huntsville area. The house is in a great location, just down the street from the state park. There is plenty of seating and dishes to take care of a large group. The back porch is also accommodating to a gathering, or just a cozy place to enjoy a cup of coffee first thing in the morning. The house is well kept and the owners were very friendly. We would definitely stay here again.

Awesome location and a great neighbor!
We stayed a full month at this location. We were in a slight bind till our home became available so we needed a place to stay. What a wonderful piece of luck to have met these wonderful people and stay in this awesome home. The home was clean, the landlord responsive, and the location beautiful. All amenities (W/D, dishwasher, fiber wireless internet) were present and working. Any time we had questions or needed something, the landlords were immediately responsive. We would definitely recommend anyone to vacation in this home.

Amazing Place, Full of Character and History
It was a true pleasure staying at the Monte Sano Bungalow! LOCATION - The top of Monte Sano is an amazing community, about a mile from the beautiful Monte Sano State Park and several awesome hiking trails. It's a great location for those who want to be near town (about a 8-10 minute drive) but still get some seclusion and open space. COMMUNICATION - The owners live nearby and were a real joy: great communication, super friendly, and, knowing that we were traveling with our son, they even gave us some great recommendations on fun things to do with kids. OUTSIDE - The house sits back from the road on a beautiful lot with plenty of trees to provide shade on those hot Alabama days. There's also a very large back porch that's big enough to host 6-8 for an outdoor dinner. Or, it's a great place to sit and watch the fireflies over a drink in the evening (what we spent most of our night doing). There's both a huge backyard and a large front yard, both of which were big enough to play catch in the afternoons. INSIDE - This is where the house really shined. It's like a living history museum of Huntsville's rocket program history. It was absolutely dripping with character, which was probably the highlight of our stay. Though we were just a family of three, the layout could easily have accommodated a large group without anyone feeling crowded. The property comes with all of the basics one would expect from a vacation rental, including some nice extras like a full laundry room. Also, it may seem like a small thing, but having good, reliable internet was a plus, and something we're found lacking in a few recent rentals. The one potential downside for some that I would note is that this is not one of those properties that's been highly staged and, in essence, made into a large hotel room. This is a house that feels very loved and lived in, full of a family's character, decor, and personality. You feel like you're staying at a good friend's house. For us, that was a plus. My only other critique is that the cleaning crew could have done a better job. Not a huge deal to me, but if that's a major concern for you, worth noting. Overall, this was a terrific stay, one of the ones that can absolutely make a good trip great. We would stay there again in a heartbeat.
