After a year of being isolated due to Civid, we were looking forward to getting together with a couple of our friends and family. While the house overall is lovely, I was thoroughly disappointed when we saw some of the upkeep. The front entrance doorway and porch was not cleaned and the rug in the foyer was also dirty. The bedroom that we stayed in had large dirt spots as well. The cushions on the screened in porch were really dirty!! Because if COVID and the price that you pay for these homes, you expect things to be in order and immaculate. I have stayed at this host property several times and this was not typical of how his homes are maintained. I will continue to book them, but will ask to check to see them before my final payment is made.

Sleeps 8 comfortably, nice amenities like pool table and putting green, seconds away from Oxmoor RTJ and minutes away from Ross Bridge RTJ

This house was an amazing stay. So many things to do such as pool, cards & a putting green.

Everything was wonderful. Thank you Mr. Rick for beautiful well thought out vacation homes.

Property and accommodations were as advertised. Its a beautiful house and would book again.

this is the perfect house for a long golf weekend playing Robert Trent Jones courses Oxmoor Valley and Ross Bridge. It overlooks a hole on the Oxmoor Valley course and has a nice practice putting green next to the house.

Spacious layout house to meet the needs of a large group. Thought of everything including extra refrigerator !

Rented the house for Bama graduation. Took my 89 year old mother to see her granddaughter graduate. House was perfect. Exactly as pictured. Quiet street on the golf course. Publix grocery close by. Great kitchen and living spaces for the celebration afterwards. Can’t say enough good things about this property. One of the best we have rented from VRBO to date.

Highly recommended!

Great house; perfect for 4 guys for a week.

Great place and Rick was really accommodating. I'd recommend anyone with a big party to stay here.

My son was married this past weekend at the Barn at Shady Lane just down the road. Crenshaw was the perfect place for my family to stay for the weekend. We were even able to invite some of the out of town groomsmen to stay with us. Not only was it convenient and clean but there was plenty of entertainment for the groomsmen during their down time (pool table, cards, basketball and putting green at the house).

Mr. Oster, Both homes were outstanding. We may go to Prattville or Opelika next year. Do you have homes there, as well? If so, send me the VRBO #. Thanks again for a great stay. Pat Eidt

Fantastic house! It was perfect. The owner is awesome with quick response to any questions we had. Great great great!!!

I started looking for a place to stay for our daughter’s graduation from UA, Tuscaloosa 8 months out and was starting to get discouraged. Hotel rates quadrupled for mediocre, at best, rooms and the selection on other home rental sites were either much farther away or not at all appealing. I was thrilled to discover HomeAway and even more so when I saw that this house was available!! We all came in on Thursday. The boys golfed on Friday, while the ladies had a spa/retail therapy day in Birmingham. We spent Friday night at the house- relaxing, grilling-out, and just enjoying our family time on the porch, playing pool, and talking in the large, open living area. Having all the comforts and of home, being new, clean, and modern, as well as making wonderful memories during our stay made this house well worth the price! Thank you!!

We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect place to meet and fellowship! The house and the amenities are top of the line!! The beds are comfortable and each room has its own bathroom! Do yourself a favor and stay here. You won’t regret it!!

I rented this house for our family to be able to stay together for my niece’s wedding this weekend at The Barn at Shady Lane. The groom’s parents rented the other 4 BR Oster house about 4 doors down and the Bride’s parents rented another VRBO property right between these. The houses are about two minutes from this perfect wedding venue! Back to this specific house for this review - it was amazing! All four bedroom suites are downstairs and are perfectly appointed. Walk upstairs and find yourself in an enormous space that was so perfect we were sad to leave. We found everything we needed and believe me, the pictures online do not do this space justice! The owner has thought of everything and promptly responded with every question I had and clear instructions with alarm codes, internet passwords, etc. He also provided a link to extensive information on restaurants, shopping and other attractions in the area. I did visit the other Oster house and it was equally incredible. I understand the Osters have houses available in several locations other than Birmingham and I would definitely look for one of them if we were planning a trip there.

There were 8 of us. The house layout was perfect for our group. The entry housed all the clubs. The bedrooms were spacious and the bathrooms perfect. Upstairs was the kitchen (we had April Moates cook dinners to perfection nightly) sharing the open space kitchen are reclining couches and a pool table. Off that space is a screened in porch with table/chairs and the perfect spot for a cigar. The folks at Oxmoor Valley are extremely accommodating and make getting back and forth seemless. We were like kids in a candy store as the putting green served for nightly entertainment. If there was one wish we had it would be for a Golden Tee machine. Why the wish? It seems that in the Oster houses anything is possible!! Stay here- it is cost effective, comfortable, almost luxurious, and great for a group to be able to hang out together!!! Planning on returning both here and hitting Montgomery!

House in great shape. Location on Ridge Course was very handy to club house. We would rent house again.

This home is absolutely gorgeous! It looks exactly like the pictures! If ever back in Alabama would DEFINITELY stay here again! Not only was the home beautiful, the owner of the home was very gracious and accommodating to our needs. Thanks again!

Really nice property, and perfectly located close to great courses. Would recommend highly to any group of 8 or less.

This was the perfect fit for our group, just far enough away from where we needed to be, but on a beautiful golf course. It was a great house to share and could have shared with a few more people. Rick was great and would definitely recommend this house to anyone looking for a spacious, beautiful, sprawling area to relax in at the end of a busy day!!!!

In a word: Perfect. It was clearly designed to host 8 guys on a golf outing and that is exactly what we had. The house is beautiful, the view is great, the screened porch was perfect for post golf drinking and stewing. The bedrooms are great and the bathrooms are even better. The house is well stocked with necessities. I can't describe the service when we were there because there was no need for service, nothing went wrong. If you have a group of 6-8 golfers wanting to make a golf trip, you could not do better than going here, and I am including exotic destinations like Monterey, Arizona, Mexico, Scotland. I would highly recommend using a personal chef for dinner.

Absolutely the most perfect rental for a buddies golf trip. The owner thought of everything 8 guys would would want or need in a home. He was great at communication as well. The Oxmoor Valley property is fantastic as well. My group raved about the house all weekend. We will be back for sure!
