Great first visit!!!

This was my family first visit to Alabama, and I must say it was a great experience. The cabin was everything the description said it was and more My son was extremely impressed with the loft style space where he slept. And the fact that he could bring his emotional support dog was a the most important part. Everything was neat and clean also. We also received some great recommendations on places to eat and activities to do I must say we would stay here again definitely!

Great place to stay while visiting family and friends

The property was immaculately clean. It was well stocked and perfectly sized for 2 adults and our small dog. We were mostly out with friends and family but it was perfect for sleeping (comfy bed), showering and morning coffee and tv. Communications were amazing, check in and out was easy. No hassles and met every need. We would stay again in the future!

Quick Getaway

The stay in this unit was great! It had all the necessities needed to cook a meal. It was very clean and updated. I would only recommend having two extra stools to have the ability to sit and have a meal around the counter. Also, the mattress was really hard, but that is a matter of preference since my husband loved the hardness of the mattress. In all, I would definitely stay here again if I were in the area.

Great Getaway!

This place was super cute and cozy! They thought of everything and I was grateful for the “little things!” For example, the lighter that was provided for the grill because I forgot mine, the K-pods for the Keurig because I had only brought coffee for a pot, having your place stocked with toilet paper, soaps/shampoo and conditioner, providing towels and washcloths…not one thing that I lacked for! I even forgot my toothbrush. I looked under the bathroom cabinet and lo and behold, a bathroom basket with anything you may have forgotten! We enjoyed our stay and appreciate the thoughtfulness and the quick responses! There is a DG nearby, we fished from the Freedom Marine pier in a pretty little park and we traveled to Bama Bucks on our trip, which we enjoyed so much!Thank you for a great getaway!!

About the host

Hosted by Beth Hedgecock

Host profile image
I was born on the East Coast, grew up in the Midwest and have lived all over the world. After my husband retired as a helicopter pilot from the Army several years ago, work brought us back to North Alabama after having lived here on and off for the last 20 years.

As an experienced traveler and under the Knot Working brand, my husband and I strive to bring our travel experiences to our guests, providing the needed amenities for a comfortable stay. We love North Alabama and want to share it with the world!

We are hands off hosts and give everyone their space but don't mind hearing from you should any issues arise during your stay.
