Relax by the rock fire pit or on the front porch with a cup of coffee, and enjoy views through a canopy of trees. Wildlife is spotted frequently on the property, and a beautiful hiking trail winds through part of the property - perfect for picnics on the ground! Renew, refresh, and be restored! **THE RETREAT PROPERTY** Not long after you turn onto the private road that winds through the retreat property, you will pass Coyote Cabin on your left (also listed). Soon after, you will see The Otter Box Cabin, also on the left, along with your own private parking area (2 cars max). Near the cabin, there is a hiking trail on the right side of the private road. Beside your parking area at The Otter Box Cabin, there are stairs leading up to the cabin's entrance from the parking area as well as a no-stairs option with a wide ramp that leads to the front porch. You will appreciate the beautiful treehouse views from the covered porch area. This is a great place to enjoy a cup of coffee or hot tea in the morning and take in the views :) Stepping inside the cabin, you will know your peaceful retreat has begun as you are surrounded by windows that reveal refreshing views through a canopy of trees. Be sure to look up and notice the beautiful wood ceiling that was built by the homeowners and upcycled from hurricane-weathered wood planks on Alabama's own coast in Baldwin County. Moving into the main living area, you will appreciate the sight of a large comfortable sofa and loveseat. There is plenty of room for your family to enjoy this space and additional floorspace consideration for our guests who require a wheelchair. The sofa folds out to a queen bed when there are 6 guests. There is an electric fireplace for your enjoyment, and for movie nights in, there is a 55" HD television in the living room. There is limited Wi-Fi, so a DVD player is available for movie nights if you'd like to bring your favorite DVDs. Directly next to the living room area is the dining area and kitchen. There is a smaller dining table to allow for wider floor space consideration, and there are 4 chairs, with additional chairs on the front porch. In the kitchen, there is a refrigerator, stove, microwave, dishwasher, coffee maker, toaster, blender, cooking pots, can opener, pans and utensils, dishes, drinking glasses, eating utensils, cooking spices, coffee mugs, and more. Both of the bedrooms have 32-inch doorways, wider floor space and beautiful window views into the wooded backyard. Each bedroom has a closet with a dresser inside to accommodate more floor space in the bedroom. In each bedroom, there is a queen bed and with comfortable bedding for your rest and relaxation. A full bathroom, also with a 32-inch doorway, includes a full tub/shower combo with a hand-held shower option. Directly across the hall from the bathroom, there is a full laundry room with a washer and dryer available for your convenience, as well as a fold-out ironing board with iron. You will also find extra quilts, a portable fan and a sofa-bedding kit. Back outside and near the cabin, you will notice a river rock fire pit designed with your retreat in mind. You are welcomed to use any small pieces of fallen wood that can safely fit inside the fire pit, and firewood bundles are sold at nearby stores. Please only burn firewood, as the homeowners and guests roast food over this fire pit. Extendable roasters are located in a kitchen drawer for your convenience, so be sure to bring ingredients for s'more memories. Near the fire pit is your Charcoal/wood-burning Campground-Style BBQ Grill with a metal bucket and lid to collect BBQ grill ashes :) Our Policies: You will receive an email to e-sign a vacation rental agreement and upload your photo ID before the reservation is complete.
