About this property

Faye's Retreat

Private cabin that sits extremely close to Little River Canyon at only 3 miles. While sitting only 4.7 miles away from DeSoto State Park making this cabin right in the middle of the areas most popular must see destinations. This cabin has two separate bedrooms and each has a queen sized bed . One upstairs and one downstairs. A custom very unique walk in shower. Very comfy living room area with a fire place and many overhead lighting options for the perfect mood. The upstairs sitting area is perfect for the morning coffee drinker or book reading while staring out the large open windows. The rear porch is the favorite for anyone who visits. Its extremely private, has a large hot tub, a nice sitting area or you can explore the wilderness right outside the back door. The cabin will make you feel as your all by yourself yet your less than 8 minutes to town. We also have great phone and internet service. The kids and adults both will enjoy the moments around the unique fire pit, It offers huge oversized boulders that many friends can sit around for late night fun and marsh mellows. The cabin is completely surrounded by thick trees and sits on a dense private wooded 5 acre lot. We also keep a charcoal grill at the back porch for those that like to grill out. We are about a 17 minute drive to Weiss lake, or a 10 minute drive to Fort Payne water reservoir and within 20 minutes Dekalb County Lake. So bring those kayaks and boats along with you for some great fishing.

We are very communicative and will happily guide you to the areas best attractions whether it be Restaurants, Fishing, Hiking, Malls and so on. We love to help.

Quick get away

A mom and 4 kids. A little get away with hot tub, water fall, yummy ice cream, camp fire, board games, and closeness.

Lovely cabin

We went for the weekend to celebrate our 41st wedding anniversary. We enjoyed the peace and quiet, nature and the hot tub. It would be nice to include some firewood and hubby made a mess with some pringles and we couldn’t find a broom. Apologies to the cleaners!

Amazing Weekend!

We have been needing a weekend getaway just the two of us. It had been over a year since we did something like this! I found this place and had a couple of others saved but this one just seemed like something that would be perfect for us and it was! Matt was very informative and the check in process was easy when we arrived. The cabin is amazing and just old rustic vibes. The hot tub and privacy was amazing as well. We didn’t do much venturing. We laided around and relax and this was a perfect place to do that! We will definitely be back and definitely stay in this cabin or one of the others that Matt offers!
