Charming Lakeside Cabin on Lookout mountain, Fort Payne by Little River Canyon!

Escape to this peaceful cabin, perfectly nestled beside a tranquil lake, and just a mile away from the breathtaking Little River Canyon Falls. Enjoy your morning coffee on the private dock overlooking the serene waters, or relax by the fire pit after a day of exploring. Fish in our lake, or enjoy our kayaks!

A large, wrap around deck provides rocking chairs with a view of the lake, a hammock, and outdoor, screened in dining.

With modern amenities and scenic surroundings, this peaceful cabin is the perfect getaway for families and friends to relax and enjoy time together! Whether relaxing inside or exploring nearby, this quaint and charming cabin offers a peaceful retreat.

Kitchen:
Fully stocked, with a charming rooster theme! We provide all pots/pans and cooking utensils plus dinnerware. Enjoy a toaster oven and 2 types of coffee machines (K-cup and drip), in addition to microwave, toaster, oven/stove with built in air dryers, fridge/freezer and basics (salt/pepper/ sugar/coffee). Enjoy a quick meal at the bar, or a family sit-down at the kitchen table.

Living Room:
Relax with a movie together on our smart TV, the warmth of the electric fire-place, and all of the games/puzzles we have for you to enjoy together. A ceiling fan helps to regulate temperature, whether you choose to use the central AC, heat, or open the windows for some clean mountain air.

Bathroom/Laundry:
We have a shower/tub combo, complete with soft white towels, soaps, and shampoo. We provide laundry pods as well.

Bedrooms:
The 2 twin bedrooms both have a TV, the master bedroom has a ceiling fan, queen bed, and private access to the screened in porch.

Outdoor Activities:
We provide 2 kayaks (waiver required) as well as a fire-pit for you to enjoy a starry night together! There is a private dock with lounge chairs, a propane grill, and picnic table as well. The lake has plenty of fish! We have received pictures from previous guests of their daily hauls.

The cabin boasts a large porch that faces the lake, fitted with rocking chairs as well as a screened in dining area and a hammock.

Location:
*We are less than a mile from Little River Canyon Falls! Mushroom rock, Desota Falls, outlooks, and great hiking all around this cabin.
*There is a cute little diner about 5 minutes from the cabin (Rim of the Cabin grocery and Cafe).
*The cute little town of Fort Payne is about 10 minutes away, with more dining, antiquing, and shopping options.
Come and explore, play, fish, hike or just relax on the deck over the mini Lake

Everything was so amazing! My 9 year old was super excited to kayak in the lake in front of the property! Being super close to the canyon was a plus too!

This is a nice cabin with a small lake. It was very clean and cozy. My husband and I had a great time. We would like to go back sometime in the spring or fall to enjoy the lake more. The host was very quick to answer questions.
