Hickory Cabin @ Little River Hideout - Cozy tiny home right on Little River
Welcome to the Hickory Cabin at Little River Hideout, your quiet mountain retreat near Weiss Lake and Little River Canyon Falls. We fell in love with the property at Little River Hideout, located between Little River and a beautiful cotton field and wanted to build a place that we could share with everyone. We love this area of Northeast Alabama and all that it has to offer. Come and stay in our tiny home cabin and enjoy a slice of quiet mountain life.
We like coming here to enjoy the beautiful views, calming presence of nature, large number of local waterfalls, and Weiss Lake that is nearby, and we hope that you enjoy it as much as we do. Hickory Cabin is perfect for people looking to get out and explore the local area or for boaters heading to Weiss Lake. We even have extended parking available for boat trailers.
The cabin is very open with a sitting area with large sofa, TV, and high-speed Internet. The kitchenette has a beautiful live edge countertop and comes equipped with a Keurig coffee maker, mini refrigerator, combo microwave/air fryer/oven, and a hot plate for all of your needs. There is a queen sized bed, with convenient outlets located in the headboard, making it easy to keep your devices charged overnight. The sofa has a sofa bed that pulls out to accommodate additional guests. We provide towels and soap and shampoo for the shower.
Perhaps the best feature is the large deck overlooking Little River (running seasonally). With the sounds of the flowing river on one side and a large cotton field on the other, it's easy to just spend all day relaxing and forget to go see the sights of the local area. We have plenty of flat ground outside, so if you'd like to bring a tent and spend a night under the stars we are happy to accommodate. We also have a nice fire ring built up near the river to enjoy a campfire as you wind down for the evening.
The cabin you are booking is completely private and your own, and you also have your own outdoor space that is just for you to use. We do have a second cabin on the property and the two cabins share a driveway and are about 25 yards apart.

Beautiful property, very quiet and peaceful. Close enough to town and attractions, but far enough away to not be bothered with anything. Will definitely stay again.
Very pleasant stay. Had everything we needed. Semi-secluded, off main road with little traffic. With recent rains, the ‘little river’ was full and rapidly flowing. Very peaceful and relaxing. Would highly recommend for a nice getaway!

Thanks for the review Gary, I'm glad you enjoyed your stay and got to experience the river
We really enjoyed our stay. We enjoyed sitting on the swing listening to the Little River and that evening we sat on the side porch and watch the lighting bugs it was nice. The next day we prepared breakfast and sat on the side porch. Bed was very comfortable and cozy. We enjoyed everyday we were there. Thanks again Adam

Too expensive for the little space, no stove and no river water (poor scenic appearance). Took hours to cool down. The place needs a bigger AC or should be turned on in the morning of check-in. Plenty of cheaper hotels closer to restaurants.

We're very sorry to hear that you were disappointed with your stay. Our cabin does not have a full kitchen and that is listed in the description, but we do have a kitchenette that is equipped with a mini-fridge, microwave, and toaster oven. The river also runs seasonally depending on rain in the area, which is also described in our listing. I'm sorry it wasn't running when you were there, because it is beautiful when it is! We do run the AC prior to guest check-in so I'm sorry to hear that you had an issue. I wish you would have let us know during your stay so we could have tried to address it for you.
Adam is from Baton Rouge and he met Nick and Crystal years ago while working on his cabin along Johnnie's Creek. They became fast friends and several years later Little River Hideout was born. We love working together to share our love of the area with guests and travelers and help expose more people to the beauty around northeast Alabama.
