About this property

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!

One of a kind!

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.

Awesome getaway
The title really says it all. Maggie was a great host who was extremely helpful and friendly. She gave us places to check out and responded quickly to any questions we had. The cabin was really perfect. It was very clean and had a welcoming feel to it. She had everything you would need plus even games for the kids to play. We arrived after dark and she told us it is easier to find in the daylight which is absolutely true, you could pass the driveway and not even realize it. Overall we couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay than at Maggie’s cabin and wouldn’t hesitate to stay there again.

Peaceful Retreat
We all loved the secluded cabin, surrounded by a forest. The covered deck overlooking the meadow was perfect to start the day with a cup of coffee. If you love nature this is your place. We will be back!

Great spot
If you're looking for a little isolation, this place is great. Cellular connectivity isn't great (don't count on it working at all) but there is wifi. The television service is actually Samsung streaming TV (it's not satellite TV service) and the internet is satellite based so if you require high bandwidth connectivity this could be limiting. There appears to be a daily data limit after which point the bandwidth drops to the point that streaming services won't even work (beware if you're bringing kids that you plan to plop in front of netflix/prime for several hours a day). House is clean and spacious. As others have mentioned, both bathrooms are in/off the 2 bedrooms so if you have someone sleeping the loft, they'll need to enter a bedroom to use them. The back porch is a fantastic spot to relax and unwind. Property is very peaceful. The host was very hands off but fantastic with communications. Thank you. Overall a great spot in this area.

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!

Graduation weekend
The cabin is beautifully decorated . Well maintained and very clean .We loved the big porch, we spent alot of time out on it having family time and watching the squirrels jumping from tree to tree and lots of birds. It is so peaceful and relaxing at the cabin. I highly recommend this property. We couldn't have asked for a more perfect vacation

Short get away
This property is just amazing. The views were spectacular, great for landscape and nature photos. It was peaceful and welcoming. The hosts were great with communicating during check in and check out. Maggie and Mark thought of everything! We plan on going back! The rooms were nice, and how they incorporated all the nature inside the home was very nice. The waterfalls and natural bridge is a short distance from this location, and we wouldnt have known about the bridge without Maggie and Mark leaving the information. Thank you!!!

Blissful!
Amazing experience! We travel a lot and always pick out of the way places to stay. This was by far one of the best experiences. The way Maggie communicated with me made me feel I know her personally! She is a lovely host. Maggie pretty much guided me all the way from Dayton! She even gave me weather information along my route! The house... 1. Well equipped 2. Great interior 3. Large bedrooms 4. Beautifully furnished and decorated living room 5. They even added binoculars for bird watching along with a guide for bird watching 6. Indoor games 7. Outdoor grill 8. Large washer/dryers 9. They even provided towels for pets although we did not have a pet with us 10. Maggie shared her Instapot with me when i asked her if she had one in the cabin! 11. Internet was patchy but enough to watch a movie! You can log into your own Netflix or Prime and enjoy! 12. The wrap around deck is a great place to relax or just take a nap on the swing 13. Part of it is not covered so you can enjoy the warmth of the sun. Maggie and Mark thank you for taking care of us! Best of all its very reasonably priced!

Unique cabin in the woods
Hosts were very communicative, and the location is very pretty. The cabin has a wonderful deck, interesting archetectural design and the stream and wildlife viewing stand was neat. At night, there was almost zero light pollution, and the stars were amazing! The only limitation is that all bathrooms are located off of bedrooms, so if you have someone up in the loft they will have to come through a bedroom to use a bathroom.

Great getaway nearby
We were looking for a place to stay while hiking the Bankhead National Forest and happened upon this home. Off the beaten path yet not too far from Jasper, AL, this home is a great place to escape. Due to the location, internet/streaming service is satellite only and, when we visited, was not good. However, I'd taken my Verizon hotspot and was able to sit it on the porch railing to get enough signal to stream some TV when we were inside. When not inside, there are plenty of open spaces to hike and sit outside. All other things were great and will definitely return next time we're in the area.
