Fairytale Cabin on Lake Wedowee (Newell, Alabama): Now Booking on Airbnb!

This luxurious river, lake, creek & forest paradise is just 80 miles southwest of Atlanta and has 27 acres awaiting your exploration. We found these two circa 1840s stone chimneys in the wilds of the woods and decided to restore them, and build a custom cabin, complete with reclaimed and forest provided materials. The cabin itself is a visual delight but has amenites such as memory foam mattress, high thread count sheets, a beautiful bathroom, a super cute kitchenette, and gorgeous antiques.

Amenities includes kayaking, fishing, exploring, river sports (bring your water toys), Wolf Creek swimming holes, natural springs, pan for gold in the creek, hot tub, wood-fired pizza oven, Blackstone griddle, sandy beach at the river’s edge. Refresh yourself in this absolutely unique and luxurious nature retreat!

Sleeps 4. No pets. Kids 12 & over welcome.

Our Reviews:

“This was the best 10th anniversary location, it was the epitome of a magical, romantic, and adventurous trip. It is a place that lights up all of the 5 senses. The details and craftsmanship behind the fairy tale cabin are unreal. Every single detail has been carefully thought and it’s well appreciated! The walls, the floors, the doorknobs, the windows (all of them!), down to the one orange bowl (the only orange in the entire cabin), the lighting, esp. loved the bathroom floor!! 😍😍😍We loved having so much area to roam and treat as our own for a couple days. Especially kayaking in the creek and relaxing afterwards in the hot tub. I loved the nest swing, so comfy!! We enjoyed it and look forward to coming back and staying longer!!”

“This place is magical! Every aspect of the property shows how much love and thought went in to creating the perfect space. The reclaimed materials found throughout the cabin whisper the stories of their past while taking on their new life! Kara is always a text away and just as charming as her home!”

-Catherine

“This place was exactly what we needed, peaceful, relaxing, and a chance to unplug. It was magical. We will definitely be visiting again as soon as possible. You can tell that a lot of heart was put into making it seem as if you stepped out of reality, and into a dream. It was the fairytale we never knew existed!”

“Our weekend at the Fairytale cabin was an experience we won’t forget! it’s in the woods and so private but also very close to a main road. The history of the place, what it was and how the vision for the cabin came into fruition is incredibly interesting. I’m so glad Kara and Kate documented their story in a very useful and informative notebook for their guests. It’s a beautiful cabin built by the owners with the help of a few friends and local talent and they left no stone unturned! You will find yourself just sitting and staring at everything looking for a flaw and you won’t find one! The swing on the porch and the hot tub and deck are awesome too. My husband caught bass in the river which is just a short walk from the cabin where they are putting in a sandy beach area and are also in the beginning stages of creating a “Hobbit House” down near the river bank. We will definitely be back and can’t wait to see what their caring, imaginative, brilliant, artistic, minds come up with!”

“Do yourself a favor and book this stay! The only thing you will regret is having to leave. My husband and I stayed for our anniversary and had a blast. Kara the host is quick to respond and an absolute delight to communicate with. The directions to the cabin are spot on and easy to follow. The cabin is extremely clean and has everything you will need for your stay. It is such a neat tiny home with so much character. We had a blast exploring all the land and looking for gold in the creek. We kayaked the river with our pedal system kayak and it was so peaceful. The hot tub was a great end to our adventurous days. I can’t speak highly enough about this place and the host!”

“We had a wonderful time at Kara's house. It is a beautiful and cozy place. We went to Cheaha for the weekend and being at the house made the experience even better. She is very thoughtful and attentive to details.”
