Nina's Cottage - aka Grandma's House of Silverhill

In these COVID-19 times, we want you to know that we are taking cleaning and changeovers very seriously.
We are cleaning deep, that has always been our standard.
Enjoy contactless check-in and relax in Nina's country kitchen or sit on the porch and bask in the pine tree fabulousness :)

Nina's Cottage is a quaint farmhouse that my Czech grandmother lived in when they came to Alabama in the 1920's to farm. It has a country feel with a big front porch and lots of comfortable living. This unique farmhouse is a throw-back to an earlier time. The house has recently undergone an extensive renovation. New drywall, updated cabinets, new windows and doors and so much more. Your personal home including a living room, huge open eat-in country kitchen, 2 bedrooms with queen beds, large bathroom, laundry and enclosed back porch. The front porch is spacious and perfect for relaxing. A rural experience minutes away from downtown Fairhope. Groceries, gasoline, pharmacies, hospitals are even closer.

Girl get-away

Property is very pretty and the location was perfect. The setting was quiet and beautiful. Coffee on the front porch was a wonderful way to start our day! The cottage is very comfortable and very well equipped. This was, without a doubt, one of the cleanest rentals that I have ever had the pleasure of staying in. We will definitely return to Nina’s Cottage.

quick business trip

Our 3 piece band needed a place to stay that fit the budget allowed by the job for which we were booked. This little place was perfect. And the porch was great for relaxing from the noise of performing. We hope to get to come back!

Amazing Accommodations

The host was extremely responsive and was able to accommodate our early check in requests. We were traveling for soccer and she not only made arrangements for early check in but also land treats awaits our children. The joys was impeccably clean and SO cozy. I loved reading about the history of the home! We will definitely be coming back any time we have soccer tournaments nearby. .

Clean and cozy cottage in the pines

This is one of the cutest, coziest homes i've had the pleasure of spending time in. Nina's cottege is surrounded by pines, so that first breath when you walk out on the porch in the morning is full of freshness. It charges you up the day ahead. The home is very clean and absolutely charming, from the front porch to the dishes. My 4year old did not want to leave! Special thanks to the host for excellent communication before and during our visit and for the snacks! We will be certain to come back here in the future

Charming historic cottage but smell of cigarettes put a damper on things for me

This is a cute cottage a little ways out of town from Fairhope. Very peaceful country setting. I was greeted by our sweet host as I pulled in the driveway. Very clean and accommodating cottage with washer and dryer and front and back porch. Extra touches like seasonal decor and snacks and water bottles. My only complaint was that it smells like cigarette smoke throughout and given that I have a chronic cough this was very disappointing for me. I am not sure if a previous guest had smoked in the home or what. I aired things out by opening the front door which helped but if you are sensitive to smoke /cigarettes you need to consider this.

Adorable country cottage

The cottage is in a quiet neighborhood with plenty of parking and the check in process was great since I got in late. Barbara was so sweet! She went and turned on lights in the cottage for me so I wasn’t walking into a dark strange place. The cottage is as advertised and has everything thing you need. I would recommend this cute cottage to anyone looking for a quite off the beaten path accommodation.

Peaceful Retreat: A VRBO Gem

Selecting this cottage for our family was a fantastic decision. It offered a peaceful environment, and the peanut farm in the background was fascinating. The property was adorned with beautiful flowers & many trees and the host was exceptionally gracious and accommodating. We would happily choose to stay here again. Undoubtedly, this has been the best VRBO stay I've experienced so far!
