The fire pit behind the cabin is the perfect spot to gather around and relax in the beauty of nature. If you're lucky you'll get to hear the owls that nest on the property having their evening conversations.
The giant picture windows in the living room provide beautiful views of the surrounding trees and wildlife.
The main floor bathroom features a luxurious soaking tub that is perfect for unwinding after a long day.
The king bed is on the second floor. Imagine rolling over in the morning after a full night's sleep on the memory foam mattress to look out at the treetops through the picture windows.

Beautiful but some practical issues

The property is beautiful, modern, and in a nice location. It feels like you are living in luxury, in the middle of the forest, with the conveniences of Tuscaloosa a few minutes away. The backyard fire pit is a really nice place to spend an evening. The Keurig coffee selection and basket of snacks provided by the host were excellent. The shower situation however, stopped this stay from being perfect. The shower needs a new solution. With the water flowing, the curtain gets sucked in and then sticks to your body. Together with the shower head that does not stay in position, it makes it much more difficult than it needs to be to shower. The following issues did not distract from the experience, but I'm adding them here as a note to the owners: Some of the wall fixtures, like the toilet roll holders, were pulling out of the wall, with the most concerning one being the handrail to the beds in the attic. But, in summary, the house is beautiful, in a nice location, and if the shower situation can be fixed, it might get close to perfect.

Nice new Cabin

We had a great stay at the Black Warrior Cabin. Location is quiet and safe. Well appointed kitchen and several towels.The cabin could use some window treatments as the sun was blinding at times, and the hot water/shower/tub combo could use a little upgrade.Overall, we enjoyed our time to visit our daughter in college.

Christmas at Cabin in the Woods

We had a lovely stay at Cabin in the woods. It is a beautiful retreat nestled in the woods yet convenient to get to. Host was very attentive and friendly. Even though we could not get fireplace started we still enjoyed outside pit. The surrounding wooded land was breathtaking. We would rent again in future.

From PA to AL

Josh is super nice. Accommodated us with any request we had. Response time was immediate when we had questions. Even dropped a pin so we could find the house easily. Highly recommend this location and noted to be away from traffic and the busy town which we loved.

Modern Cabin in the Woods

This cabin was fabulous! Perfect location and perfect setting. It had everything we needed and more. The location is awesome - a very earthy, woodsy vibe, but modern cabin. Beds were so comfy!!! Thanks!

Respite during our final drive home to Lexington, KY

We found the perfect spot to spend the night and break our 12 hour drive up into a 2 day trip. We had dogs, 2 cars, and we were towing a trailer so needed a dog friendly location with safe place to park. The cabin is super dog friendly and the hosts were very helpful and accommodating!

Tranquil property! Stunning views!

We had an amazing time at the Black Warrior Retreat! The property is gorgeous! It was quiet and peaceful. The cabin is beautifully decorated in a modern, minimalist style. It is stunning! We slept comfortably in the beds and enjoyed the soaking tub! We made home cooked meals in the kitchen that was stocked with beautiful cookware and dinnerware! A quick 15 minute drive to campus was no problem at all! Can’t wait to go back to this property!
