Top Rated Attractions
Lake Tuscaloosa
Commanding the heart of Tuscaloosa, Lake Tuscaloosa sprawls over 5,885 acres, offering a myriad of recreational activities. A sought-after arena for boating, the water body plays host to the 'Tuscaloosa Mariner's Voyage,' a guided tour for sailing enthusiasts. Not just water-based excitement, the lake draws anglers from across the country for its annual 'Bass Bonanza', wherein anglers compete for the largest catch. The surrounding greenery at Harmon Recreation Area acts as a picnic hotspot, offering serene views and melodies of local birds, like the Red-tailed Hawk and American Goldfinch, against a backdrop of undulating hills
Lake Lurleen State Park
Occupying a magnificent 1,625 acres, Lake Lurleen State Park promises an engaging blend of nature and adventure. It boasts 23 miles of hiking and biking trails, each promising a unique tryst with the park's rich flora and fauna. The Tashka Trail, a well-known 15-mile stretch, offers trekkers an intimate encounter with Alabama's distinct landscape - including pine forests, flowering dogwood groves, and vibrant wetlands. Other popular activities include paddle boarding, kayaking, camping, and fishing with a chance to reel in largemouth bass, bream, catfish, and crappie!
University of Alabama
Rooted in rich history and tradition, The University of Alabama, founded in 1831, stands as a beacon of academic prowess. As the oldest and largest of Alabama's universities, its rich history is marked by the Civil War, the Civil Rights Movement, and countless scholarly advancements. Spread over 1,970-acres, the campus showcases a living museum of Greek Revival architecture. Bryant-Denny Stadium, in close proximity, is a symbol of the Crimson Tide's resilient spirit.
With capacity for over 100,000 fans, it's a sea of jubilation on game days. Here, tailgating rituals knit together students and fans, creating a vibrant tableau of Southern tradition and shared football passion.
The University of Alabama Arboretum
Tuscaloosa's living encyclopedia of native greenery, stretches across 60 glorious acres. Its crown jewel, the Rhododendron Garden, comes alive with vibrant Azaleas and Catawba Rhododendrons each spring, while the Wildflower Garden proudly hosts a plethora of state natives, including the delicate Yellow Lady’s Slipper and bold Crimson Clover. The arboretum's two-mile Woodland Path winds through towering Longleaf Pines and statuesque Southern Red Oaks, emblematic of Alabama's rich forests.
Visitors can marvel at the Duncan Greenhouse, a haven of exotic plant species, and engage with the educational displays housed within the Children's Garden. Established in the 1960s to preserve Alabama's natural heritage, the arboretum today continues to promote conservation.
Jemison-Van De Graaff Mansion
Standing as a fine example of Italianate style, the Jemison-Van De Graaff Mansion in Tuscaloosa embodies both architectural grandeur and significant historical narrative. Constructed between 1859 and 1862, this stunning 26-room mansion showcases the aesthetic preferences of pre-Civil War affluent society. Key points of interest include an intricately carved Carrara marble mantel adorning the formal parlor, and the meticulously restored gasolier, a symbol of the home's forward-thinking design. The mansion's library pays homage to its original owner, Senator Robert Jemison Jr., with a collection of mid-19th-century texts that transport visitors back in time.
The Alabama Museum of Natural History
Positioned at the heart of the University of Alabama, the Alabama Museum of Natural History is a testament to the state's rich historical and natural heritage. Established in 1831, the museum is known for its remarkable collections, including the mesmerizing "Alabama Coal Age" exhibition, which spotlights Alabama's instrumental role in the Industrial Revolution and features coal age fossils found within the state.
Another highlight, "Ancient Sea Monsters of Alabama," unveils the state's prehistoric marine life with fossils of Mosasaurs and giant turtles that roamed the Alabama seas millions of years ago. Visitors will marvel at "Hodges Meteorite," the only documented extraterrestrial object to have struck a human, as well as the "Gems and Minerals" display – offering an impressive array of native stones, from quartz to star blue quartz.

What a perfect set up and a great place to hang out with friends and family. The houses were clean and the accommodations were exactly like they stated. When we needed some downtime, we were able to retreat to the back living space where the garage was converted into a small in-law suite. The location was perfect and neighborhood quiet.

This property was fantastic, from booking to leaving, we had contact with Tanner who was absolutely amazing. Was available if anything was needed, but truly nothing was. Towels for days, additional bedding if needed was there. Cute shampoo, conditioner bottles were in the main house. Yes, I said main house, because this property had a back house, that they could actually rent out separately for a nice penny, it worked perfectly for my hubby, who showered out there and took some time from a house full of aging women.
Let’s get back to the main house, kitchen was clean, had dishes, dishwasher, extra trash bags, fridge was very nice. Living room was super cozy, you know the kind that pulls you in and won’t let go, yup like that with windows to see fabulous nature happen before your eyes (sofa, table, chairs, tv). Dining area with a door to exit to the backyard (this was great for our 15yo Pitty), backyard had a fire pit that hubby enjoyed. 3 bedrooms 2k, 1q the queen room also had washer and dryer at our disposal. Jack and Jill bathroom which was nice because many people can use that space at once. Each bedroom had its own tv. Let me tell you, my step mom never rests, this was the first time I saw her enjoy downtime and actually nap.
All of this to say, that from all the places we have rented while visiting our daughter at UA over the last four years, hands down this Tipsy Tide was THE best.
Thank you Tanner for being so accommodating and responsive.

Everything you need for a comfortable stay. The big screen tv was great for the game. The king size bed is always a plus. Tipsy Tide will go on our favorites list.
5.0
Our family enjoyed staying here. The host was able to accommodate us within a short time frame and we really appreciate it. The house is located near Historic Downtown Northport and within a short walking distance to the Historic Clements Home in Northport. The guest house behind the house is super neat and looked to be pretty new. We would definitely stay here again! It would be fun to stay here if you are in town for a football game. And definitely make plans to shop and eat in Downtown Northport!
