Nestled in the heart of Livingston, Alabama, Lakewood is an ancestral family home turned event venue and Airbnb—where historic charm meets hospitality. For seven generations, our home has been a place of gathering, laughter, and love. Whether you’re celebrating a wedding beneath the oaks or enjoying a quiet weekend getaway, you’re invited to sit and stay a while.

If you need me, I’ll be tending the garden, chasing our babies, or welcoming new friends to Lakewood
Opening our doors to others feels like continuing a legacy — one rooted in hospitality, history, and the belief that meaningful moments deserve a beautiful place to unfold.
I’m rooted here in Livingston, where my family has called Lakewood home for eight generations. Today, I get to share this historic home with couples, families, and travelers looking for respite, a place to celebrate, connect, and breathe a little deeper. Lakewood has always been more than a house to me; it’s where stories were told, meals were shared, and love was celebrated long before I arrived.

Reann & Dylan Hudler- Married September 2025
I cannot thank Sidney Freeman enough for all she and Jake poured into our weekend. They truly made us feel like family from the start. She took my ideas and literally amplified them by a gazillion then brought them to life. (While she was renovating/building her own home AND welcoming a sweet baby girl into this world might i add) I cannot recommend Lakewood enough!!!
