Charming home
We loved our stay in the Purple House. The location was perfect for our needs. Located right across from UNA’s campus. The house accommodated our family for our daughter’s wedding weekend. The home was full of character and charm and was very clean. We had a minor problem with the a/c and the host responded quickly and the issue was resolved.

Excellent location / safe neighborhood
This beautiful old home was very nice. The neighborhood seems like a safe place and we enjoyed several nighttime walks across the UNA campus and neighborhood. Only a half mile from Court Street where you can find any kind of food a person could want. The host provided quick answers to my questions. I would recommend staying here.

Florence Landmark. Family Stay
Very historic part of North Alabama. Enjoyed our week stay in the Purple Mansion. Well supplied and very comfortable bedding. We were a little cold but had some space heaters to help knock off the chill. Overall a very comfortable and rare experience to stay in a historic home. The owners are very happy to help and answer questions

Best Thanksgiving Ever!!
I grew up in Florence, and I had always wanted to stay in one of the historic houses located very close to UNA. The Purple House provided a place big enough for my entire family to gather for the holiday for the first time in two years. We had a wonderful time! The house was clean and had everything we needed to enjoy ourselves. Thank you!!

Beautiful home, great hosts
We had an amazing time at the purple house. The rooms are spacious and the front porch is welcoming. We spent many days on the porch people watching, visiting with family, playing with a neighborhood cat, listening to the UNA lion, and just watching the world go by. The hosts are incredibly responsive and kind and let us know about local events while we were there.
