Twin Cedars Cabin in the Woods! Birders paradise near Sipsey and Bankhead
Enjoy the rocking chair porch in the foothills of the Warrior Mountains with a treehouse view of bird habitat in every direction. Private ... no other houses in sight.
Hand built construction by Mark who felled each tree from our own land and built this cabin literally with his own two hands. The wrap around deck we call "Sally's Deck". Hurricane Sally provided the wood when she deposited a pile of docks on our Ft Morgan property. The natural wood interior is lovely!
We all so loved the cabin in the woods. Cozy and comfortable. The location is very quiet and peaceful, but still convenient to town. Liked check-in, cleanliness , loved the decorations. Enjoyed sitting on the deck and swinging on porch swing. Wonderful host.
Private, cozy cabin. Spent thanksgiving week exploring the property and surrounding areas. Relaxing and inviting. Looking forward to returning one day.
This was our second stay at Twin Cedars Cabin, and it was just as wonderful as the first. The hand-built cabin has such a unique charm, with its beautiful wood interior and the story behind its construction. We loved spending quiet mornings on the rocking-chair porch, surrounded by the sights and sounds of the forest, and evenings under the starry sky were unforgettable. The wrap-around deck is the perfect place to relax and enjoy the peace and privacy of the setting. A truly special place that feels both cozy and connected to nature â we look forward to returning again!
We had a great stay! The house was very comfy and was perfect for us. We had to go back and forth to Jasper so location was great. We loved sitting out on the back porch. Itâs a lovely home.
The house is nestled back in the wood for a perfect feeling of seclusion while still being conveniently located to amenities around. The cabin was very clean and organized and offered almost any amenity you could really need. The wrap around porch was a great spot for hanging out with friends and perfect place to slowly wake up on the swing in the morning time. Host was very nice and communication was amazing! Would 100% stay again. If you are looking at this property for your next trip donât hesitate to book.
We were in town for a family reunion. This is the second time we have stayed here at the cabin. We love It more each year. They have everything you could need. Very clean and very accommodating. Host was the best. Great at communicating and even checked on us due to some severe weather while we were there. Will definitely be back again.
This is a lovely cabin surrounded by trees in a peaceful environment. It is convenient to Jasper, AL and therefore it is a short drive to Bankhead National Forest, 20 minutes to Clear Creek Recreation Area, 30 minutes to Smith Lake, 1 hour to Birmingham, and 1.5 to Tuscaloosa. The photos on the listing are great but itâs more beautiful and peaceful in person. There is nothing like standing on the deck at night and seeing starts between stars (see photos attached), or sitting on the porch in the morning with coffee and hearing birds and the lowing of cows from area farms. It fit our family perfectly- there are two bedrooms with full bath as well as a loft with two twins as well as lots of couch space in the living room for lounging. There were kitchen essentials as well as books, toys and games which are always a hit for a traveling family. There is even a record player and some LPs for vinyl lovers. Maggieâs communication is excellent and I knew if we needed anything she was just a message away. This is one of our favorite places weâve stayed as a family and we hope to visit again!
So quiet and beautiful!! Plenty of room for family and my dogs to run and play! Would recommend to anyone to stay a short drive to town! No noise so lovely!! Enjoyed every minute of it!! Will stay again and again!!
We absolutely love this place!! The peace and quiet but the fact you are a few minutes from town makes it perfect. Our fur babies can run and play. Plenty of room for family to come over and visit. The host is amazing!! Love,love
Excellent location just outside of Jasper. Very quiet and off the main road. Enjoyed rain on the metal roof and wrap around porch! Excellent place to get away and unwind.
Cozy cabin in the woods with beautiful views and well appointed to make it feel like a home away from home. The owner had top notch communication! Thanks for a great stay. Short drive to Jasper.
We really enjoyed our time here and just wished we had more time! The cabin itself was really unique and we had a lot of fun exploring outside. My 6 yr old's imagination ran absolutely wild, it was a great time!
Our VRBO home was exactly as described and so relaxing. An unexpected cold front came through but no worries, the electric fireplace more than warmed us. (Heat and air conditioning also available) but the ambiance the fireplace had made it much more comfortable. Loved the porch, swing, and rocking chairs, great coffee nook. We were a short distance to town and we loved the donkey artwork and reading about the history. We will be back as we saw many more places to see. Natural Bridge was beautiful and the waterways were worth seeing. Such a relaxing couple of days we had.
Mark and Maggie Johnston live just about 5 miles away in a house that Mark also built. Mark was the ED of Camp McDowell for 27 years and helped it to grow and prosper. Maggie was Director of the McDowell Environmental Center and helped to start the McDowell Farm School and Magnolia Nature School. They love sharing beautiful places with new friends and old friends!
