Coyote Cabin on 92 acres beside DeSoto State Park | Fast Wi-Fi | Dog Friendly

Coyote Cabin at Woodland Retreat at DeSoto | 92 Acre Retreat Property That Borders DeSoto State Park | Fast Wi-Fi | Vacation, Corporate and Extended Stays | BBQ Grill | Fire Pit | Gas Log Fireplace | Double Hammock | Dog Friendly | Fast Wi-Fi | Hosts up to 6 Guests

Coyote Cabin is situated on the 92-acre retreat property known as Woodland Retreat at DeSoto. As its name implies, this cabin and retreat property offer guests a peaceful retreat and cool mountain getaway, deep in the woods and high atop Lookout Mountain in Alabama. Woodland Retreat at DeSoto is a 92-acre retreat property that borders DeSoto State Park and is only .2 miles from the Civilian Conservation Corps Museum.

Explore waterfalls, parks, shops, and restaurants. 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 beautiful hiking trails are walking distance as the backyard of the cabin is part of DeSoto State Park. 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 see Coyote Cabin on your left, along with your own private parking area (2 cars max). Nearby, you will see The Otter Box Cabin (also listed).

Beside your parking area at Coyote Cabin, there are stairs leading up to the cabin's entrance from the parking area. At the top of the stairs, you will appreciate the views from the covered porch area. This is a great place to enjoy a cup of coffee 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 the most beautiful "treehouse views." From every window, you will see 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 the sofa folds out to a queen bed when there are 6 guests. There is a gas log fireplace for your enjoyment, and for movie nights in, there is a 55" television in the living room with fast Wi-Fi for streaming your own favorite channel subscriptions. A DVD player is also available if you'd like to bring your favorite DVDs.

Directly next to the living room area is the dining area and kitchen. There is seating for up to six with two 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.

A primary bedroom boasts beautiful window views. There is a closet, and for the bed, there is a queen bed and with comfortable bedding for your rest and relaxation.

The secondary bedroom also has a queen bed, and there is a sitting bench beside the bed that can be used to climb into the big, comfy bed as the thick mattress and box springs give it more height.

A full bathroom includes a full tub/shower combo and sink vanity. 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 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 grill ashes :)

PERFECT
We stayed here for a spur of the moment weekend getaway to celebrate my wife’s birthday and to ring in the new year. This place was perfect for our needs. Our main concern was would it truly be pet friendly. Without a doubt YES. The porch was fenced in so we didn’t have to worry about our furry family member accidentally getting loose. The property manager, Misti, was truly a phone call away and answered our needs. This was probably the easiest getaway from beginning to end that I’ve ever experienced. We had goodies waiting on us that included the world famous Little Debbie Christmas Tree cakes, coffee, popcorn, hot chocolate, teas, local homemade soap, and a gift voucher for breakfast for two at the Hatter Cafe. That place was phenomenal. Some of the food choices were unique and some were common. We loved it! The service was top notch too. Back to the cabin. It was secluded enough for us. We had one neighbor we could see easily and one we could see through the trees. They put on a fireworks show we could watch from our front porch. This was the perfect getaway. We highly recommend this 2 bedroom 1 bath cabin.

Amazing stay at Coyote Cabin
The Coyote Cabin was a beautiful, quiet place to relax and enjoy nature. It is perfectly located in the middle of the woods, away from noise and everyday distractions. The big picture window let us view the tops of the trees and the leaves falling, we enjoyed our coffee on the big front porch, and we could hear the leaves fall on the tin roof - It was magical. The cabin itself is clean and well-kept with so many little extra amenities - good coffee, snacks, even a gift voucher for a local cafe. The cabin is so nicely decorated and warm without being overly done. To top it off, Misti, the property manager, was fantastic at communication! She was easy to reach and always quick to respond. Her warm personality made the experience enjoyable from the very beginning. We highly recommend the Coyote Cabin and will be staying here again ourselves.
