It was an excellent cabin. Remote enough to make it extremely quiet and close enough to the city to make it worthwhile.

Bama Summer

My daughter took 5 classes at UA this summer, one of which was a minimester requiring her to be on campus 5 days a week. This was the perfect quiet, safe spot for her! We’re thankful we found it!

About the host

Hosted by Stephen Daniel Grissett

Host profile image
My wife and I have enjoyed the property for several years and recently opened the cabin up for short-term rentals. We appreciate the privacy and seclusion, as well as the convenience. We both grew up in Alabama and have some-what of an adventurous side so we have discovered lots of areas of interest including the creek, island, and mountain view on the west side of the property.

Why they chose this property

The neighborhood is tucked just off of highway 43 north and we love the area because of having a country setting while being so close to town.

What makes this property unique

The uniqueness of our property is endless and we discover new things all the time!
