Total privacy. Weekend retreat. Location, Location, Location Just a few miles off I-20 (exit 210, a little over an hour from both Atlanta and Birmingham) this tiny house is located on forty acres which is a combination of fields and mature, natural hardwood and pine forest. The nearest neighbors both north and south are ½ mile distance. East and west are several miles of company owned timber land. The 1/4+ mile gravel drive is gated and in good shape. Point being, this unique property offers one complete privacy. This is no campground with multiple cabins and the tiny house is the only rental on the property. This is NOT a vacation type area such as North Georgia or other such places. (although the Talladega National Forest is only 10 miles distance) Peace and quiet in a very private, beautiful natural setting is the point here. More of a retreat than a vacation. Available on weekends only this is a place to get away from it ALL for a couple of days. No wi-fi, no television available!! (Not for everybody :) The cell coverage is good. There are no street lights any where near, the result being incredibly dark, star filled skies. (So worth gazing upon!) There are a couple of miles of well marked walking trails. Wildlife is abundant. There is a fishpond if interested. (Bass and bream, bring your poles and bait!) The Tiny House The tiny house has a total of 300 sq. ft and is an A-frame. There is a deck, partially covered. Nothing fancy here but it has everything needed for a comfortable stay. Cozy you might say. AC and heat of course. Understand, with such limited space everything is small. (except the bed! it's a queen, some things can not be compromised!) Amenities include a small Mr. Coffee, french press, coffee grinder, and electric kettle. (coffee beans, earl gray tea and the fixins' are provided) For indoor cooking there is a microwave, toaster oven, “Liddle Griddle” and mini crock pot. On the deck is a gas grill with a side burner. There is a fire ring to the front of the cabin and long sausage/dog forks as well as a burger/fish/anything else basket for open fire cooking. Yum (one nights firewood is provided) Details CHECK IN-OUT: Check in is noon all days. Check out on Saturday and Sunday is 6pm, Monday is noon. WHAT TO BRING: Pretty much everything you need, food, drink, ICE, toiletries etc. Provided are salt/pepper, olive oil, popcorn and coffee/tea and fixins. Bedding, towels etc provided. CLEANING: As you've probably noticed we have not tacked on the typical $50-$75 cleaning fee. It is our hope that folk are willing to clean up after themselves in order to realize these savings. It is a tiny house and it shouldn't take much to leave the cabin just as you found it. All needed cleaning supplies are on site. We will take care of the bedding and towels so no need to make up the bed. Thank you. (of course we check and make sure the cabin is clean for guests) THE TRAILS: The nature trail is totally worth walking/running. The trail starts about 30 feet to the south of the cabin. It is marked for clock-wise direction. If the entire trail is traversed as marked it is 1.2 miles with 200+ ft of elevation. FISH POND: Guests are welcome to fish the pond. You are also welcome to clean and eat what fish are caught. CYCLING: I am a cycling enthusiast and there is STELLAR cycling opportunities in Cleburne County. Lonely country roads for roadies, miles and miles of gravel for gravelers. (National Forest) Warden Station Horse Park for Mountain bikers. ( Coldwater Mountain Bike park is 28 miles distance and there are trails at Fort McClellan also) OTHER STUFF: As mentioned Cleburne County is not a touristy kinda place but there a few things around. Much of the Talladega National Forest is largely in Cleburne County. (25% of the county!) There are a couple of lakes and some great, uncrowded hiking. (The Pinhoti) Cheaha State Park, with all the expected amenities is also in the county. (highest point in Alabama) If you are a fan of muscadine wine there are 2 wineries with tasting rooms. High Country Cellars in Heflin and Fruithurst Winery Co. -out in the country, vines on site, 7.5 miles. (recommended) FYI: There are 2 note books and a pen on the bedside table. One is for suggestions and comments. We genuinely appreciate these as we are always looking for ways to tweak this place. The other is a guest registry and “thoughts” book. Name and date of stay would be nice. This place with it's quiet, natural beauty and isolation is great for reflective thinking. Some like to write down these musings and others might find these meditations interesting, even helpful. You are so very welcome here and we truly hope your stay is a joy. Thanks, Jerry, Mary Jane and family. ## Property amenities ### Kitchenette - Coffee grinder - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Electric kettle - Microwave - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Toaster ### Bedrooms - Bedroom - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Entertainment - Books - Games - Stereo ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Firepit - Outdoor furniture - Patio ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly - Welcoming dogs only - Up to 23 kg per pet ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher ### General - Property does not allow children - Unit size: 300 square feet ## Similar properties ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/107000000/106750000/106746800/106746732/w1282h1695x1y0-ecee7bee.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Need a spot for your RV or Camper?
