Built out in 2015-ish & completely redecorated in 2021-ish with custom woodwork. Hunter`s Retreat is a separate building about 50 yards from the historic, main home and directly next door to Cedar Guest Quarters.
Popular with University of Alabama guests, honeymooners, hunters & rockstars (property can accommodate tour busses & vehicle + trailer).
Surrounded by limitless acreage for privacy and an indoor/outdoor experience!
Rustic and charming, this former dependency was restored in 2015. Queen bed and private bathroom with custom open rain shower.
Architect David Rinehart Anthony designed Everhope to be Big, Bold, & Beautiful. The media has called it one of the most beautiful homes of it`s time in Alabama. With original woodwork and curtains and carpet designed to replicate the originals, Everhope remains true to its roots but also has elegant modern updates. Everhope is on both the State of Alabama and National Registers of Historic Places. The home is sometimes available for tours and/or visiting in the gentleman`s parlor, but this is not guaranteed.
You will have unlimited access to explore the grounds. Everhope`s acreage is cross-fenced with peach, pecan, fig, persimmon, pear, pine, oak, cedar, and magnolia trees, as well as other beautiful shrubs and flowers.
I may or may not be physically present, but I am almost always available by phone. If our paths cross, let`s have a drink and chat!
A TV may be available (only during football season) if the pecan shelling house is not occupied, but we choose to mostly stay true to our 1850s roots and do not have TVs available otherwise. Fast, reliable internet in our neck of the woods is still just a dream, so no wi fi is available, though cell phones provide some connectivity, and the local library (about a 10 minute drive) is available for any data-intensive needs (can even access their internet from the parking lot!).
Evenings have been known to go late into the night on the 8 chair “rocking` porch. We can enable cook-outs or bonfires, too. If you desire one-of-a-kind and a chance to disconnect and unwind, this is your place!
On sold-out Alabama football weekends, we may have a hot southern breakfast for you (depends on game time and other factors!).
We can enable parking for 100+ cars, making it an ideal wedding, event and Hollywood set location.
