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 $135 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!

Gabrielle's place was perfect for me and my guest. It was so comfortable and well furnished with everything we needed. The bed and pillows were excellent! Gabrielle made everything so easy from booking, to planning, checking in and was so prompt to respond to questions. We can't wait to book again!

Our first Airbnb stay was amazing thanks to Miss Gabrielle! She was a wonderful host who went above and beyond to help with a billing issue so our family could stay on budget. The home was beautiful, spotless, and so welcoming. We truly enjoyed our time and would gladly stay with her again!

Our family spent three weeks in this wonderful house after a tree fell through our home. Gabrielle went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. The house is exactly as described, extremely clean and had everything our family needed for a long (unplanned) stay! Highly recommend this house or any of Gabrielle’s other rental properties in the area. You won’t regret it!!
