About this property

Twin Cedars Cabin in the Woods! Birders paradise near Sipsey and Bankhead

  • Enjoy the rocking chair porch in the foothills of the Warrior Mountains with a treehouse view of bird habitat in every direction. Private ... no other houses in sight.

    Hand built construction by Mark who felled each tree from our own land and built this cabin literally with his own two hands. The wrap around deck we call "Sally's Deck". Hurricane Sally provided the wood when she deposited a pile of docks on our Ft Morgan property. The natural wood interior is lovely!

    One of a kind!

Wonderful home tucked away

We had a great stay! The house was very comfy and was perfect for us. We had to go back and forth to Jasper so location was great. We loved sitting out on the back porch. It’s a lovely home.

This was our second stay at Twin Cedars Cabin, and it was just as wonderful as the first. The hand-built cabin has such a unique charm, with its beautiful wood interior and the story behind its construction. We loved spending quiet mornings on the rocking-chair porch, surrounded by the sights and sounds of the forest, and evenings under the starry sky were unforgettable. The wrap-around deck is the perfect place to relax and enjoy the peace and privacy of the setting. A truly special place that feels both cozy and connected to nature — we look forward to returning again!

Family reunion

We were in town for a family reunion. This is the second time we have stayed here at the cabin. We love It more each year. They have everything you could need. Very clean and very accommodating. Host was the best. Great at communicating and even checked on us due to some severe weather while we were there. Will definitely be back again.

We all loved the secluded cabin, surrounded by a forest. The covered deck overlooking the meadow was perfect to start the day with a cup of coffee. If you love nature this is your place. We will be back!

Quiet, clean, relaxing home

Our VRBO home was exactly as described and so relaxing. An unexpected cold front came through but no worries, the electric fireplace more than warmed us. (Heat and air conditioning also available) but the ambiance the fireplace had made it much more comfortable. Loved the porch, swing, and rocking chairs, great coffee nook. We were a short distance to town and we loved the donkey artwork and reading about the history. We will be back as we saw many more places to see. Natural Bridge was beautiful and the waterways were worth seeing. Such a relaxing couple of days we had.

Awesome getaway

The title really says it all. Maggie was a great host who was extremely helpful and friendly. She gave us places to check out and responded quickly to any questions we had. The cabin was really perfect. It was very clean and had a welcoming feel to it. She had everything you would need plus even games for the kids to play. We arrived after dark and she told us it is easier to find in the daylight which is absolutely true, you could pass the driveway and not even realize it. Overall we couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay than at Maggie’s cabin and wouldn’t hesitate to stay there again.

This is a lovely cabin surrounded by trees in a peaceful environment. It is convenient to Jasper, AL and therefore it is a short drive to Bankhead National Forest, 20 minutes to Clear Creek Recreation Area, 30 minutes to Smith Lake, 1 hour to Birmingham, and 1.5 to Tuscaloosa. The photos on the listing are great but it’s more beautiful and peaceful in person. There is nothing like standing on the deck at night and seeing starts between stars (see photos attached), or sitting on the porch in the morning with coffee and hearing birds and the lowing of cows from area farms. It fit our family perfectly- there are two bedrooms with full bath as well as a loft with two twins as well as lots of couch space in the living room for lounging. There were kitchen essentials as well as books, toys and games which are always a hit for a traveling family. There is even a record player and some LPs for vinyl lovers. Maggie’s communication is excellent and I knew if we needed anything she was just a message away. This is one of our favorite places we’ve stayed as a family and we hope to visit again!

Great spot

If you're looking for a little isolation, this place is great. Cellular connectivity isn't great (don't count on it working at all) but there is wifi. The television service is actually Samsung streaming TV (it's not satellite TV service) and the internet is satellite based so if you require high bandwidth connectivity this could be limiting. There appears to be a daily data limit after which point the bandwidth drops to the point that streaming services won't even work (beware if you're bringing kids that you plan to plop in front of netflix/prime for several hours a day). House is clean and spacious. As others have mentioned, both bathrooms are in/off the 2 bedrooms so if you have someone sleeping the loft, they'll need to enter a bedroom to use them. The back porch is a fantastic spot to relax and unwind. Property is very peaceful. The host was very hands off but fantastic with communications. Thank you. Overall a great spot in this area.
