Ave Maria Grotto, in Cullman, Alabama, is a landscaped, 4-acre park in an old quarry on the grounds of St. Bernard Abbey, providing a garden setting for 125 miniature reproductions of some of the most famous religious structures of the world. It was added to the Alabama Register of Landmarks and Heritage on February 24, 1976, and to the National Register of Historic Places on January 19, 1984. The stone and concrete models are the work of Brother Joseph Zoettl, a Benedictine monk of St. Bernard's Abbey, who devoted some 50 years to the project, the last three decades (1932 to 1961) almost without interruption. They incorporate discarded building supplies, bricks, marbles, tiles, pipes, sea shells, marbles, plastic animals, costume jewellery, toilet bowl floats and cold cream jars. Born in 1878 in the Kingdom of Bavaria, Brother Joseph was maimed in an accident that left him slightly hunched due to cervical kyphosis. He immigrated to the United States as a teenager, settling in northern Alabama. Soon afterward he began studying at the newly founded Benedictine monastery of St. Bernard, where he took his vows in 1897. Br. Joseph was not allowed to be ordained as a priest, due to the rule of the period that stated any man with a distracting disability could not be ordained a priest. He ran the monastery’s power plant and was, even by a monk's standards, a withdrawn, quiet man. Brother Joseph rarely left Alabama, where he died in 1961. ](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/6057735/f10f98ee-727f-4b65-a3db-5e860093e056.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=115.61&rh=65.03&ra=fit&q=high) Ave Maria Grotto 45 min drive \- 29.3 miles - Lewis Smith Lake 1 min walk \- 0.1 miles - Stone Bridge Farms 48 min drive \- 27.1 miles - Wallace State Community College 50 min drive \- 30.2 miles ### Restaurants - Drifters On The Lake 28 min drive - Whitlock's Cafe 28 min drive - The Grille At Trident Marina 28 min drive - Kat Daddy's 35 min drive - Tubbs' Redneck Yatch Club 42 min drive ## Frequently asked questions ### Is Smith Lake House, Snowbird House, holds 16, Dock & Boat Slip, Cullman County pet-friendly? ### How much is parking at Smith Lake House, Snowbird House, holds 16, Dock & Boat Slip, Cullman County? ### What time is check-in at Smith Lake House, Snowbird House, holds 16, Dock & Boat Slip, Cullman County? ### What time is check-out at Smith Lake House, Snowbird House, holds 16, Dock & Boat Slip, Cullman County? ### Where is Smith Lake House, Snowbird House, holds 16, Dock & Boat Slip, Cullman County located? ## Have a question?

They are looking to replace the dock which will be great for next summer, Ron was very upfront about the condition. There aren't pictures of the kitchen and bathrooms but rest assured they are nice and clean. Plenty of space and all the tables made us want to take up crafting - maybe next trip.

House it clean and decent layout. Great location. 128 stairs to water and the dock was a hazard. Needs TLC. Rusty nails everywhere and not cleaned. Over all I'd give it a 7/10\. House was good, stairs and dock wasn't great. I'd stay again tho. ##### Shaun F.

Pros: -Well stocked kitchen and pantry supplies, snacks and waters, grill, linens, toiletries, TVs, games, books, etc. -Beautiful view, quiet and peaceful. -Spacious -Easy checkin/out, clear directions for things in the house - Responsive owner - Lots of tables, great for board game nights! Cons: (None of the cons are things the owner can change, more an FYI so you can plan appropriately.) -Very off grid, no restaurants in reasonable distance and only one dollar general no grocery stores nearby. Shop before you go to the house and stock up well for all meals. -Nice boat dock but miles to nearest marina with public access, come prepared with multiple adults to set aside an hour for the process of driving to a launch, launch and driving back while the other drives the boat back and navigates to the dock then repeat the process to pull out. - Dock stairs and rails are steep and much older wood, over 150 steps down, some of our family members could not safely make the trip down to the water, especially after dark as there is minimal lighting. Would definitely recommend this house just plan accordingly, housed a large family ranging from infants to mid 60s and never felt cramped. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Allison F., Mountain Brook, Alabama 7 Aug 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great place for a large group of friends Everything was a breeze. 20-35 minutes away from the Rock the South avenue.

So much space and lots of seating! The mini fridges were all stocked with beverages and snacks. Such a hospitable host! Incredible view! Have no complaints ##### Ashley B.

Awesome two story dock and wonderful porches. Ron was fantastic host, and both responsive and easy to communicate with. He was quick to address questions and the property was fantastic. If looking for a place where many people can have their own bed at Smith Lake, look no further. Really great spot. ##### Sumner A.

The place was well stocked and plenty of little surprises like snacks being provided. We had a total of 5 kids with three of them being teenagers and there was enough room and enough entertainment (TVs, swimming, fishing, etc) that they didn’t get on each nerves. The swim deck was great for diving as it was deep water. Be warned there’s a lot of steps to the dock! The owner checked on us via text which was nice. The deck and stairs need repairs but he said that would be done this winter. ##### Julie O.

My family and my brothers family had plenty of room. We brought our boat and had a great time on the lake. The house is furnished nicely with everything you could need in the kitchen! The hot tub was a hit too! The stairs down to the water are a bit of a struggle, but worth it! ##### Sara C.

The stairs down to the water are a bit of a trek, but well worth it once you get there or back. I am usually not the type to want to go on the same trip twice but I am quite certain I will be booking again in the future. Property owner was very helpful with any questions we had and the house had plenty of room for 15 of us. ##### Dustin M.

What an amazing time we had! Every amenity you can think of was available to us, the home & property was beautiful, beds comfy and it was obvious the pride of ownership this VRBO host property boasted! Kitchen was fully stocked and made meals a breeze to feed our group. We felt secluded but secured and can't thank the owners enough for our relaxing long weekend. Many blessings on this property!!!! We wouldn't hesitate to book again 😊👍❤ ##### JULIE I. Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2021 ---
