Welcome to sunny Huntsville. Known predominantly for the US Space and Rocket Center, it was in this very city where they designed the rocket that took astronauts to the moon for the first time. There are other space tourist attractions too in this town, such as Wernher von Braun Planetarium that hosts interesting public shows during the weekend. If you are not fascinated by space exploration, spend time outside exploring the surrounding nature. There are many hiking trails that all fitness enthusiasts can enjoy. To appreciate these to the fullest, visit during the summers when you can soak up the sun. If you prefer cooler climes, visit between March to May, or September to November. Cottage holidays give you the freedom to design your own itinerary, relax in comfort, and cook delicious meals. Check out these cottages for rent in Huntsville, Alabama.

We handpicked these listings carefully, considering (wherever possible) Superhost status, recent guest reviews, location, accommodation type, prices, availability of dates, decor, and amenities. The image galleries get refreshed with the latest updates regularly. They were last updated on October 27, 2024.

Several unique features, such as two luxurious leather theater recliners, make this property feel unique.
