About

Castle Cottage is named after Beatrix Potter's second home. This cozy home features a children's room, welcoming little people as warmly as Miss Potter herself!  There is a lovely, sunny nook - perfect for a cup of tea! The house is in a small neighborhood just off the interstate in Calera, close to American Village, Heart of Dixie Railroad Museum, Shelby County Airport, and the University of Montevallo, perfect for families with dogs and little ones. Located 23 miles from Hoover Met Complex.

Good to know

This house is right off Interstate 65, but far enough away that the only traffic is the neighbors coming and going. The neighborhood has only one entrance, so the traffic is minimal, but each home has a small yard, so if you prefer a more quiet, secluded space, this probably won't be your cup of tea. But it's perfect for easy access to all the area's offerings.

Other Details to Note

We welcome dogs (no cats, please). We charge a $125 pet fee, with a maximum of three dogs per stay. We request name (s) and breed (s) when booking. Our pet fee is for the entire stay. We ask that all our guests list accurately the total number of guests and pets. There is a nightly fee of $25 dollars per additional guest over the number of three. Thank you!

We love to stay at Gabrielle’s air BNBs when we come to town to visit my elderly mom. This is our third stay with her. This was our first stay this house and it was just what we needed. Her houses are always clean and stocked with whatever you may need. She’s always available to answer any questions. This house was so cute and in a safe neighborhood. We enjoyed our stay.

Was the cutest place! Comfortable and quiet. Gabrielle was always so responsive and made sure we had everything we needed. Felt taken care of. Will stay at any of her houses in the future if we need to come back to the area.
