Keywords: Cabin
This cabin will remind you of a simple way of life from times past! "It is comfortable and peaceful here", said a recent renter. The front porch across the full length of the house makes a great place to sip coffee, relax, and listen to nature. It's unique location allows for retreat from the hustle and bustle of city life! You will love the small but well stocked pond that is within 30 feet of the front porch and a second pond only 100 yards away! A 4lb bass was caught two weeks ago (October 2010). The path behind the cabin leads to a small creek where deer and turkey are often seen; this is also a great place for a nice picnic or even horse back riding! For those who enjoy fosil finding and arrow head collecting you will enjoy exploring around the creek banks.
Rent our Cozy Cabin and you will truly be refreshed and blessed!

Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 2007
My parents built this little cabin on the land my Dad grew up on! My Dad grew up dirt poor, but managed to put my sister and I through college without borrowing a dime! The cabin is built much the same way, no loans, no extras, just the basics with lots of hard work and dedication! The planks on the outside are from two large pine trees we cut off the land, and the pond is feed by a well that has not gone dry in over 70 years! This is just our little bit of heaven we hope others enjoy!
The Unique Benefits of this Cabin
This property is centrally located if you want to enjoy areas from Chattanoga Tennessee to Talladega Alabama! One of the best things for summer and fall is Little River Canyon! It's the largest gorge east of the Mississippi!

My husband and I have just returned from our 4th time to stay at the cabin. We love it there. It's the perfect place to go when we want to get away and relax. The cabin is always clean and has an appealing country charm. It's secluded and quiet, but is still within a short driving distance of shopping. We always enjoy going to the flea market every time we are there. We love to pass the time fishing in the pond and have caught several large ones. The owners are the best!!!
Recommended for:Romantic getaway, age 55+, sightseeing.

We were amazed at the accomodations! The pics on the VRBO site do not do this little place justice! My husband and I loved fishing in the pond and caught bass, brim, and catfish! A gas grill would be nice to have for the back yard.

My Mother lives with us in Orlando, Florida. She grew up in the country and being here took her back to childhood! She loved it! My husband enjoyed walking the nature trail, fishing, and visiting the flea market! We plan to come back this Fall! Thank you Earl and Joyce!
