We very much enjoyed our stay at the Snake Alley home! It was close to great food and entertainment. The home was absolutely beautiful and very clean, if you forgot anything, it was there to use. Highly recommend!!

The house was very clean and updated. People should be aware that there is only street parking and that you have to walk up or down a steep stairway to get to your car. It's definitely not for someone with mobility issues. We loved it and would book it again.

Historical home on fabulous Snake Alley - home is totally updated and wonderfully appointed. The home is outfitted very well with all the items one appreciates on a stay - flatware, dishes, cookware, towels, coffee, grill etc.. Immaculately clean as well.

We live within 10 miles of snake alley, but the location of this property intrigued us and we chose to celebrate my husband‘s birthday and Father’s Day on snake Alley and were able to enjoy the live music on the river with just a short walk. The location is in walking distance from all the great things Jefferson Street has to offer, we highly recommend this property. It’s very clean and updated while still maintaining the charm you would expect from a house on snake alley.

The home was immaculate! Becky had everything you could need. The small fans in each room was a great touch. The BEST was the homemade cinnamon rolls!
Staying right downtown was so fun. There are so many restaurants with live music on weekends.
We treated the walks up Snake Alley as our gym workouts. It was fun and so beautiful. We will stay again.

An immaculate modern renovation home on a most unique and charming street. Kitchen better equipped than our own homes- and sparkling clean. Cinnamon rolls supplied for breakfast led us on a jaunt to bakery to buy more. We appreciated almost instant communication with host and her suggestions. Don’t miss Martini’s, GOOD and SOM restaurants. Returning in September!

We absolutely loved staying at the Snake Alley Inn! The pictures do not do this residence justice. Everything is well appointed down to the light fixtures. Becky went out of her way to make us feel at home. From dining suggestions to the wonderful welcome breakfast and maps of the area. We truly enjoyed our stay. The beds are very comfortable. The kitchen is well stocked and has high end appliances. We will definitely be staying here the next time we are in town.
Becky and Kelsi, thank you again for sharing your home with us.

Excellent
This location exceeded our expectations. The house is absolutely charming, fresh, modern amenities, and super clean. Location was amazing, we could walk to most places. Becky, the property owner, was delightful to work with.. We will definitely return. And, the cinnamon rolls the owner left for us were yummy and made a great breakfast for our first morning.

Unique setting for VRBO- loved it!
This was the perfect location to stay with my daughter and parents while visiting my sister! While it was top-notch and 5-star clean, updated and just lovely overall, the added perk of being on Snake Alley resulted in a super fun memory for all of us. We had fun driving down the winding, steep alley at least 3 times to the delight of my 13 year old daughter, and my parents loved their morning walks to the downtown area that includes some cool restaurants, coffee shop and the Mississippi River. The only thing I would add to the listing for those viewing is if you have a family member that can’t walk up and down hills...you have to either park at the top or bottom of Snake Alley and it could be difficult for the elderly. That said, you can drop someone/luggage off in front of the house but can’t remain idling for long as there’s not room for a car to pass through while you’re parked. Also, for families looking to book the property, maybe with more than one family, the entire upstairs is like a very private master suite with an added sitting area with 2 more bedrooms downstairs. This allowed my parents to feel a bit separate from us which is always nice when traveling with extended family. Thank you for sharing your beautiful and unique property, Becky!!
P.S. Thanks for the cinnamon rolls; they were amazing and I could use one right now! ;)
