Her story
Nestled in Greensboro, Alabama, Evelyn is a lovingly restored, 1937 home offering guests a rare combination of hospitality, heritage, and architectural charm in the heart of Alabama’s Black Belt.
Built by Dr. Thomas Anderson to accommodate his daughter Evelyn—who overcame a severe spinal injury to become a celebrated educator and advocate—this home now welcomes travelers from near and far. Evelyn’s inspiring legacy endures in the inclusive spirit of the space, which features wide hallways, high ceilings, and a guestroom with a zero-threshold shower and full wheelchair accessibility.
Each of the five guest rooms includes a private bath, carefully curated furnishings, and thoughtful details that reflect the grace and intellect of the home’s original owner.
Common areas include a peaceful screened porch, a cozy music room with grand piano, and a sunny living room with an extensive library of Southern literature and art.
Evelyn is ideally located for exploring west Alabama’s rich culture and landscapes—just a short drive from Tuscaloosa and the University of Alabama, Auburn’s Rural Studio, the ancient mounds at Moundville, and renowned civil rights landmarks. Outdoor lovers can enjoy the nearby Black Warrior River and surrounding hunting and fishing.
Whether your plans include quiet reflection, outdoor adventure, or simply a restful night in an extraordinary place, Evelyn offers an experience rooted in story and southern hospitality.
