Pinhoti 100- great place to stay

If you are running the Pinhoti 100 and need a place for you and crew to stay this is a great option. 10 min drive to Adam’s gap aid station. 15 min to Cheaha lake. 25 min to Pinnacle aid. Super easy for crew to come here and rest during down times. Also didn’t realize how helpful it would be to have a ramp into the house until after the race. That ramp was a God send on sore legs Owners were great to communicate and have set it up well with amenities, etc.

About the host

Hosted by John and Crystal Dingler

Our family of five includes three boys. We love taking trips to our cottage, which serves as our escape to the countryside, offering serene mountain views and unobstructed stargazing due to the absence of city light pollution. Crystal finds joy in listening to the distant sound of the passing train, while John relishes in sitting outdoors by the fire.

Why they chose this property

Lineville is a quaint town situated in Clay County, Alabama and is famously known as the “Scenic Cross Roads of East Alabama.” The city celebrated its centennial in 1998 as an incorporated city, but its history goes back much further, when it was known as Lundy’s Cross Roads. Cheaha State Park is just a short distance away and can be spotted from the front porch. If you plan to visit the park, please note that it has an admission fee for day or annual passes. According to the Alabama State Parks website, Cheaha Resort State Park, established in 1933, is the oldest park in Alabama and is renowned for its breathtaking natural beauty. The park spans 2,799 acres of rugged terrain, with granite boulders, windswept trees, and an elevation of 2,407 feet above sea level. The park is surrounded by the Talladega National Forest, which spans over 392,567 acres, including 7,245 acres of Cheaha Wilderness. It is truly a one-of-a-kind destination that shouldn't be missed. Other nearby attractions include: Talladega National Forest, Pinhoti Trail, High Falls Branch Trail, Cheaha Wilderness Area, Chief Ladiga Rails to Trails Bike Route (joins the Silver Comet in Atlanta), Coldwater Mountain Biking Trails, Historic Downtown Heflin, Wine Tasting Trail, Choccolocco Park, Freedom Riders Park, Oxford Center for the Performing Arts, Talladega Super Speedway, Dale Jarrett Racing Adventure, and historic Kymulga Grist Mill Covered Bridge and Park.
