Faye's Retreat

Private cabin that sits extremely close to Little River Canyon at only 3 miles. While sitting only 4.7 miles away from DeSoto State Park making this cabin right in the middle of the areas most popular must see destinations. This cabin has two separate bedrooms and each has a queen sized bed . One upstairs and one downstairs. A custom very unique walk in shower. Very comfy living room area with a fire place and many overhead lighting options for the perfect mood. The upstairs sitting area is perfect for the morning coffee drinker or book reading while staring out the large open windows. The rear porch is the favorite for anyone who visits. Its extremely private, has a large hot tub, a nice sitting area or you can explore the wilderness right outside the back door. The cabin will make you feel as your all by yourself yet your less than 8 minutes to town. We also have great phone and internet service. The kids and adults both will enjoy the moments around the unique fire pit, It offers huge oversized boulders that many friends can sit around for late night fun and marsh mellows. The cabin is completely surrounded by thick trees and sits on a dense private wooded 5 acre lot. We also keep a charcoal grill at the back porch for those that like to grill out. We are about a 17 minute drive to Weiss lake, or a 10 minute drive to Fort Payne water reservoir and within 20 minutes Dekalb County Lake. So bring those kayaks and boats along with you for some great fishing.

We are very communicative and will happily guide you to the areas best attractions whether it be Restaurants, Fishing, Hiking, Malls and so on. We love to help.

Faye’s Retreat was an excellent place for a quite relaxing getaway! The host, Matt was awesome. He kept us informed up to the day of our stay and responded quickly to every question. We loved the place so much, my husband said he wished we could just live there. The place was cozy, sitting on the front porch or the back porch was so peaceful, the hot tub was relaxing and the view of the surrounding woods was beautiful. Everything about Faye’s Retreat was amazing and we highly recommend to everyone that needs a quiet, peaceful and relaxing retreat.

The stay was okay. The peacefulness was great, however the waterfall that was in the ad was not as close as we thought. The bathroom water pressure in the face bowl is very low. The water doesn’t stay hot longer enough in shower. The tv in living room seems to have a broken speaker because it’s hard to hear the shows when watching. The tv in the bathroom asks for a code to download an app which is not available to the guests.

Amazing Weekend!

We have been needing a weekend getaway just the two of us. It had been over a year since we did something like this! I found this place and had a couple of others saved but this one just seemed like something that would be perfect for us and it was! Matt was very informative and the check in process was easy when we arrived. The cabin is amazing and just old rustic vibes. The hot tub and privacy was amazing as well. We didn’t do much venturing. We laided around and relax and this was a perfect place to do that! We will definitely be back and definitely stay in this cabin or one of the others that Matt offers!
