I guess there are all kinds of secrets in the Birmingham area. I've lived here all my life and just discovered one of the most charming ones ever......Swann Lake Stables. My nephew and his gorgeous bride married there in November and although it was cold, their wedding had to be one of the most lovely weddings I can remember. It's amazing how secluded the venue seems, but only minutes from all the amenities of The Summit. What a treat! Check out their website!

I've been to Seasons 52 several times and have always enjoyed a wonderful meal there, but I recently found out they offer a fantastic Happy Hour Special!

They give you the option of having two glasses of wine instead of the flight, and for $20 you can choose an upgraded wine selection. It's a great deal, great atmosphere! Seasons 52 is conveniently located to Vestavia and other areas of Birmingham at The Summit Shopping Center at Interstate 459 and Highway 280.

They all have a formal dining room and family room with gas log fireplace, large kitchen with walk-in pantry, laundry room and 2-car main level garage.

All the streets are flat so it is great for walking and visiting with your neighbors. And there is a wonderful common area suitable for picnics or just sitting and enjoying nature.
