Creekside Mountain Retreat on Chief Ladiga Trail and Terrapin Creek near Pinhoti

Escape to this mountain cottage nestled on 3.5 private wooded acres in the Talladega National Forest. Perfectly located directly at the end of the driveway is access to the Chief Ladiga / Silver Comet Trail — the longest paved rails-to-trails system in the country — making this peaceful retreat ideal for cyclists, hikers, anglers, kayakers, ATV riders, and nature lovers alike.

Enjoy beautiful mountain and woodland views, the soothing sounds of Little Terrapin Creek, and a relaxing swing by the water where you can unwind after a day of exploring. Guests can fish in the creek, hike nearby trails, kayak Terrapin Creek with several local outfitters, or bike for miles through scenic mountain landscapes directly from the property. Bicycle rentals are also available nearby in Piedmont for guests looking to explore the trails without bringing their own equipment.

For outdoor adventure enthusiasts, Indian Mountain ATV Park is located just 14 miles away. The property features a circular driveway and ample parking space, making it convenient for guests traveling with trailers, bicycles, ATVs, or multiple vehicles.

The cottage features 4 comfortable bedrooms, including a spacious master ensuite with an indoor jetted soaking tub overlooking the natural surroundings. Large windows throughout the home bring the outdoors in, creating a cozy and relaxing atmosphere year-round.

Located just 1/2 mile from the Pinhoti Trail and only 5 miles from the quaint town of Piedmont, guests can enjoy local shopping, restaurants, a community pool, nearby driving range, and an electric vehicle charging canopy while still experiencing complete privacy and peace in nature.

We are also pet friendly! Approved pets are welcome at no additional charge. We simply ask that pets be approved in advance, and additional cleaning or damage fees may apply if necessary.

Whether you're planning a cycling weekend, hiking trip, fishing retreat, kayaking adventure, ATV getaway, or simply a peaceful escape in nature, this secluded mountain retreat offers the perfect balance of outdoor adventure, comfort, and convenience.

Amazing experience

First trip I planned and hosted, bringing my siblings and kid. This house made it well worth the drive, and the access to all the swimming holes etc around was a plus. I highly suggest getting this place and trying it out. I didn't want to leave, but definitely will be back!

Perfect Cottage for Girls' Summer Getaway

We found this cottage while looking for a place close to Hippie Hole and it was such a cozy, beautiful home for the 6 of us! Julie was very responsive to my questions prior to arriving, provided suggestions for the local area, and left a Smore's kit for us which we appreciated. As mentioned in the listing, there is no cell service so I would suggest confirming and taking note of the WiFi password prior to arrival, as the VRBO app won't load. We enjoyed having coffee on the screened in porch and listening to the sounds of nature in the area. Overall it was a very relaxing stay in a beautiful, scenic area!

Beautiful and welcoming home!

The cabin was all that was listed and so much more! The thoughtful touches like chocolates and fresh water left in each bedroom, fixins for s’mores and microwave popcorn for cozy nights at home - the Chief Ladiga Trail is right there, so walking along that before coming back to the cabin to get ready for our next adventure was perfect. We were there for a reunion with family in the area and were already talking about our next trip - bringing bikes to ride the trail next time!! Thank you for letting us stay in your home

We Will Be Back!

While we only stayed for 2 nights and were extremely busy due to a wedding we were attending, our family agrees we will be returning when we can stay for a full week and explore more. This home is beautiful and it truly does feel like a home. Communications with the owner were excellent. Cannot say enough good things about our short stay!

Spectacular cottage with lots of thoughtful touches

We loved our stay at this cottage. It was full thoughtful of touches like chocolates on the bed, labeled switches to help navigate the house, and even some smores ready for our arrival. We highly recommend it, especially if you enjoy cycling. It's right on the Chief Ladiga trail. We loved being able to pedal into Piedmont for coffee at Elevated Grounds as well as longer rides out to Georgia. Plenty of nearby hiking too.

Perfect Location

We had a great stay. Absolutely zero complaints. Plenty of space for 6 adults and 2 pups. Beds were very comfortable. Very private location. Able to park 3 trucks in the circular drive and all were pulling trailers for our sxs. Short drive to Indian Mountain ATV Park. Would definitely book again.

GREAT STAY!!!!!

My family of 5 used Chief of Ladiga Cottage as our home base for a week. The Host, Julie, was very communicative and gracious to provide some heart felt amenities. The Cottage is remote enough for privacy but not too far from town. We all had a great time!!!!

Piedmont is the place to be!

Where do I start? The 90 mile paved Chief Ladiga / Silver Comet trail in the Talledega National Forest - beautiful!, the Pinhoti Trail that leads to the A.T. Less than 1/4 mile away! - Dugger Mountain Guns And Fudge Shop in Piedmont - if you like fudge or chicken salad (YES the BEST homemade sandwich’s), Sugarless Sweets in Cedartown - a gluten free sugarless bakery to die for and Bloomin Miracles - a small Japanese maple nursery with over 100 available varieties at AMAZING prices! AND the fire pit, the house - everything! It is perfect and we stay once a year! Did I mention that Julie is the best host? Can’t go wrong!

Perfect for Family Trip!

I had a work trip scheduled in Jacksonville, wanted to bring my family! We have 3 under 10years old, and home school, so we knew we wanted something with a lot of space and privacy. A hotel was immediately out of the question, and other places seemed too sterile/ fragile for young children. So I was relieved when I found this cottage at a great price! We are used to living in the country in TN, so the kiddos can be loud and need lots of space- this was the PERFECT setting for us! Far enough from any hustle and bustle, but close enough to commute back and forth. From the fenced in portion of the yard for my youngest, to the fun rock stepping(jumping) stones, my kids requested I give this a 10/10! The internet was perfect for us, it was surprisingly easy to find, and so welcoming. The kids are already making their own plan to come back in the summer with their bikes!
