Vulcan's Knee: 6bdrm Mansion ~ Speakeasy ~ Library

This spacious downtown mansion boasts a private library in the sunroom, dedicated billiard room with multiple TVs, loaded game room in basement, and a hidden vintage speakeasy. If that's not enough, enjoy the massive backyard off the back deck just beneath the Vulcan statue.

We are local and always a quick phone call away!

Restaurants, bars, Top Golf and Protective Stadium are all a short car drive from the house and city scooters are available throughout the neighborhood.

Perfect Thanksgiving Getaway
My family and I had an amazing Thanksgiving stay at Vulcan's Knee! The house was perfect for our family of eight, with plenty of space for our 1-1/2 yr old to run around. We enjoyed the beautiful views and everything to do right in the VRBO. The location was also perfect, close to all the shopping and restaurants we wanted to visit. Here are some of the things we loved about our stay: The house was very clean and comfortable. The kitchen was well-stocked with everything we needed. The views from the living room and backyard were terrific. The location was perfect, close to everything. The host was very friendly and helpful. We would definitely recommend Vulcan's Knee to anyone looking for a perfect Thanksgiving getaway. We can't wait to come back again!

Great location; cool house
Overall a success. This is a beautiful old historic home with lots of cool features. It was great for our usage - business associates in the Birmingham area for the Porsche Driving Experience. I would say it would be great for families and kids too. The rental process was great and convenient.

Incredible Property, Incredible Hosts!
We can't say enough about how much we enjoyed our stay at Vulcan's Knee. Our families came from three states to celebrate my daughter's graduation from UAB and this property was perfectly located and worked splendidly for us! The hosts were the absolute best and really went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us!

Perfect place for a golf trip
We came to play golf and relax. Vulcan's Knee is big, unique, clean, eclectic, fun and perfectly located for great food within walking distance (Dreamland BBQ)! We enjoyed everything about the house. Plenty of seating for watching TV, having coffee or eating a meal. After 3 days we still found ourselves exploring this massive home. I'd recommend this 6-bedroom, perfectly located, mansion to anyone coming to Birmingham for pleasure. Finally, we appreciate the communication with the property manager - they were quick to respond and accommodating. We'll be back!.

Great family reunion spot
For my father's celebration of life weekend, my family, my sister's family and my brother's family all stayed together in this home. It's a perfect hangout spot for big groups and great location. Large kitchen is well equipped as well as nice towels for the baths. Decent beds. Would highly recommend for big groups.

The house is massive and the bathrooms were renovated. The only thing I’d change is adding locks to the bedroom doors. Would stay here again if I ever need a 6 bedroom house in Birmingham, Alabama.

Really Neat over 100 year old Mansion in Five Points
Thank you for allowing us to rent your home for a family wedding in Birmingham. The location was perfect to get everywhere and so close to The Club and The Vulcan. We loved the tall ceilings, beautiful architecture and details in this older home. The speakeasy was cool, and home has lots of space for all the family. Lots of little conversation spots, and the teens loved the pool table and games in the basement. Such a fun time! Thank you!

Great Landing Pad
We were in town for my son’s wedding, so things were hectic with many people going different ways and times. This was the perfect place to meet, eat and unwind. We range in age from 11 months to 60+. There was room for everyone and could accommodate different bedtimes. Great house and host.
