About this property

Watch the birds on a wrap-around porch. Very private and pet friendly.

Drink your coffee on the wide wrap around porch and watch the hummingbirds fly by as you experience the southernmost part of the Appalachian mountain range. If you love the outdoors and also love ending the night with a hot shower and comfy bed, this little cabin is the perfect place for a retreat.

The cabin is located on our a sixteen acre wooded property in the Locust Fork River Watershed, two miles from Mardis Mill Waterfall, four miles from King’s Bend Overlook park, and fifteen miles from Palisades Park. We are near Spring Valley Beach Water Park, and the cute town of Oneonta.

Our grounds include sandstone glades, a cleared meadow, and restoration forests. You'll have lots of space to breath--the nearest neighbor is down the road and across the street--more than a hundred yards away. There's a good chance that while you're here, you will be visited by hummingbirds, cardinals, whip-o-wills and other birds. We sometimes spot white-tailed deer out in the yard. There is lots of comfortable seating on the wrap around porch, and a propane grill if you feel like cooking outdoors. The cabin is pet friendly and you will almost certainly be visited by our neighbor dogs, Buster and Peanut, two friendly dogs who love to greet our guests and play with visiting dogs.

The cabin has a homey vibe with potted plants and bird-feeders--we tend the space with care and try to add little touches that make it feel like a home away from home. It's got high speed wifi in case you need to keep up with the outside world, but no TV so you can retreat in peace. Both beds are made up with overstuffed pillows and down duvets. The kitchen has everything you need to make a good meal; we include complimentary coffee to get you started each day.

Love it!
Me and my fiancé loved the secluded spot and privacy. Also, enjoyed the absence of a tv and radio. We were visited by the sweetest doggo too! We are already planning to go back.

Nature Getaway
This little woodland cabin was wonderful! Very clean, comfortable beds, so many different places to sit and relax. The wrap around porch is definitely one of the best parts. We had storms while we were there and my daughter and I loved sitting out and watching the rain and lightning from the sofa outside. We, sadly, didn't get to meet Buster and Peanut as our trip was cut short due to illness (1 year old daughter with high fever), but hopefully will next time. We definitely want to stay again!

Great stay
We loved staying in this cozy cabin. The wrap-around porch is amazing, with plenty of seating. It rained a bit during our stay, but we still enjoyed sitting on the porch which is big enough to watch the weather and still stay dry. The cabin is pretty secluded - it felt very private. The neighbor dog also visited and "guarded" the home some. The host was attentive - checked in with us after our arrival, and quick to respond. We didn't have any issues during our stay. The cabin was clean. The beds are very soft and comfortable. The shower was nice and hot, and we had plenty of towels. There were lots of electrical outlets - inside and out. I would not hesitate to rent again.

Good
There were several stray dogs that stayed on the porch while we were here. The dogs werent mentioned in the description of the cabin. Also not mentioned was the lack of a tv or radio. We loved the location, the fresh flowers in the cabin, and the plush towels and washcloths.

Beautiful Location, clean and quaint!
Overall great stay. Beautiful location and the wrap around porch is perfect for relaxing on. One of the beds is on the porch and had mosquito netting. Neighbor dogs came by to visit each day but were super friendly. Would stay again!

Quiet getaway
Great place for a couple to get away from it all and relax. Felt like we were hundreds of miles from any one but really wasn’t too far from town. Beautiful area in the fall! Host was very helpful and friendly. There was no mention that there is not a TV - a little disappointed but worked around it. Overall, loved it!

Wedding day.
My daughters bridal party used this cabin to dress and get ready. It was everything needed and we were very happy to have rented here. It was a relaxed setting on a very stressful day. Will definitely stay here again. Perfect location and atmosphere to relax and unplug.

The property is very private in it's own setting in the woods. The cabin is tastefully decorated and the kitchen and bath are newly remodeled. The wraparound porch is fantastic with views of the property.

A Wonderful Country Cabin
We had a wonderful stay in this intimate cabin, with a huge wrap-around covered deck, on a North Alabama Mountain. So quiet, lots of birds and a gentle breeze greeted us in this restful setting. Less than 10 minute drive to a small community - but we spent most of the time at the cabin just enjoying life -- reading, listening to music, etc. All outside on the deck!! We visited the waterfall only 2 miles away as we left -- we wish we had visited it a day earlier to enjoy it longer! We're excited to look forward to staying here again!!

Birthday Surprise
Surprised my Husband with a weekend getaway for his 50th Birthday. It was Everything I wanted and Exactly what we needed. The cabin was perfect. We went to see our first waterfall together at Mardis Mill Falls and We fell in Love with our cabin mascot Buster. He said it was the perfect Retreat. We are already planning to return in the fall. Our host Lindsey was Awesome! She met us at the cabin and told us all the must sees and answered all my questions beforehand promptly. Thank you for having us!
