About this property

Squirrel's Nest-cozy cabin, centrally located w/hot tub & fire pit

Tired of the relentless demands of your busy life? Yearning for a peaceful retreat where you can reconnect with nature and recharge your batteries? Look no further than Squirrel's Nest and embrace the rustic charm blended seamlessly with modern conveniences that make for the perfect escape. Imagine this: crisp mountain air filling your lungs, the intoxicating scent of pine needles wafting through the air, the comforting crackling sound of the fire pit and the soothing sounds of a bubbling hot tub. This dream can become a reality with an Oakwoods Cabin experience at Squirrel's Nest that offers a unique blend of comfort and wilderness.

Put down your phone, step away from your laptop, and consciously disconnect from the demanding digital world. This is your opportunity to truly connect with yourself, your loved one, and the awe-inspiring natural surroundings. Engage in meaningful conversations or simply enjoy each other's company without the distraction of technology. But if you must connect during your stay, enjoy the fast fiber optic internet and smart TV to log into your own streaming apps to watch your favorite shows or movies from the cozy sofa (which is also a sofa sleeper)!

Enjoy a restful and rejuvenating night's sleep in a plush Queen-size bed, ensuring you wake up refreshed and ready for adventure. In the morning, brew a cup of your favorite coffee blend with the convenience of a Keurig coffee maker. Unleash your inner chef in a fully equipped kitchen, preparing delicious meals using fresh, local ingredients. Prefer to prepare your meals under the stars? We've got you covered with a park style charcoal grill outside. Gather around a cozy dining table and savor your creations in a relaxed and intimate setting.

Step into a large, modern walk-in shower and wash away your worries, leaving you feeling refreshed, rejuvenated, and ready to embrace the tranquility of your surroundings. A full size washer & dryer, also located in the bathroom, lets you pack less!

Picture yourself sinking into a steaming hot tub after a day of exhilarating hiking. Or perhaps you'd prefer lounging around the fire pit, making s'mores, sharing stories, laughter, and creating unforgettable memories. With outdoor seating on the front and back porches, you can savor the fresh air and breathtaking views that surround you.

Escape the concrete jungle and immerse yourself in the unparalleled beauty of the natural world. Breathe in the crisp, clean air, listen to the soothing sounds of nature, and rediscover the peace and tranquility that only the wilderness can provide. Observe the local wildlife, hike through scenic trails at DeSoto State Park or Little River Canyon National Preserve, and marvel at the star-studded night sky.

Whether you're planning a romantic getaway or a restorative solo adventure, Squirrel's Nest provides the perfect setting for creating lasting memories that you'll cherish for years to come. These shared experiences will strengthen bonds and create a sense of connection that transcends the ordinary.

All behind a private gated entrance insuring peace and quiet. Centrally located, you'll find yourself within easy reach of DeSoto State Park (2.6 miles), downtown Mentone (10 miles), downtown Fort Payne (6.2 miles), and Little River Canyon (7.2 miles), offering a wealth of restaurants, hiking, sightseeing, and outdoor adventure opportunities. This cabin shares 20 acres in the woods with a few of our others. Each are spaced out to keep it private and relaxing!

Exactly what we needed

Nice quiet (clean) cabin with plenty of indoor and outdoor space. The hot tub alone was worth the trip. Quick drive to Desoto park and falls. We had a great time and plan to come back next season.

So awesome!!

We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect mini vacation! The Squirrel’s Nest was exactly what my husband and I needed—a cozy, charming escape surrounded by nature. The cabin itself is absolutely adorable, and the peaceful forest setting made it even more magical. The hot tub was a definite highlight—private, quiet, and the perfect way to unwind. We can’t wait to come back!
