At this rural estate you will be surrounded by 80 year old Mountain Laurel and Rhododendrons. The Desoto State Park above the falls on Little River is a very short three to four minute walk. The park trails are nearby. The Little River Canyon National Park Reserve and Visitor Center is a twenty minute drive.
This cottage is HANDICAP ACCESSIBLE with one handicap parking and one traditional parking space, a ramp to the screened porch, wheelchair accessible kitchen, and bathroom with handicap transfer shower, toilet and lavatory.
There are two bedrooms on separate floors with private baths. Amenities include a fully equipped kitchen with dishwasher, washer and dryer, cathedral ceiling great room with gas vented log stove, large screen TV, WiFi. There is no outdoor grill due to the bear population.
This rental has been created with a sense of flare and elegance for the discerning vacationer on this quiet and secluded estate above Alabama’s highest waterfall where Appalachia begins.
The adjacent rental is “Cliff House” (VRBO.com/1213591) standing on the canyon rim overlooking Desoto Falls, and the falls are visible from every room of this rental. The property can be rented simultaneously with Canyon Falls Cottage (VRBO.com/1335112) if available on the separate VRBO calendar for this property.

About the host
Hosted by Susan Collins
This property has been in our family since 1945 at which time the owner’s original cabin was built. The owners live in the original cabin. Our goal in developing rentals is to share what we have treasured for years.
There are now two additional rental units with parking on the estate.
“The Cliff House”on the canyon rim faces the basin and falls. “Canyon Falls Cottage” faces the woods with views of the falls and canyon from the property. There is a view of the falls from the upstairs bedroom in winter which is partially obscured in spring and summer.
The two cabins can be rented together or separately.
No matter the season, one is beckoned to return to this property due to the magic of a spiritual experience at this ancient geological treasure.
