Overview
Cabin On 40 Acres is a private, self-contained cabin set on 40 acres of hardwoods, cut-over land, and a creek in rural Alabama, near Alexander City. It's designed as a quiet, secluded getaway for guests who want to unplug and enjoy nature rather than a conventional hotel stay. Horses and outdoor dogs are welcome, underscoring its rustic, land-based character.
Amenities
The cabin is fully equipped for a self-sufficient stay, with a kitchen, microwave, oven/stove, and washer alongside air conditioning and heating for year-round comfort. It is smoke-free and offers free Wi-Fi, making it easy to cook meals on-site, do laundry, and stay connected despite the secluded setting.
Setting & Grounds
The surrounding 40 acres feature a mix of hardwood forest, cut-over land, and a creek, giving guests room to explore, hike, or simply relax outdoors. The property's size and natural features make it well suited to horses and dogs, and to travelers seeking privacy away from crowded tourist areas.
Location
The cabin sits about 4 miles from Highway 280 in Alexander City and roughly 10 miles from a Lake Martin boat launch, putting water recreation within easy reach. A cluster of local dining options is within a few miles, including diners, a barbecue restaurant, a seafood restaurant, an Italian restaurant, and chicken wings spots, so guests can easily find a meal after a day outdoors. Birmingham-Shuttlesworth International Airport and Montgomery Regional Airport are both roughly an hour's drive away for those flying in.
Best for
This cabin best suits couples, families, and groups of friends seeking a quiet nature retreat with the comforts of home, thanks to its full kitchen, washer, and climate control.

Travel tips
Plan to drive, as the cabin is about 4 miles from Highway 280 in Alexander City and roughly an hour from the nearest airports (Birmingham-Shuttlesworth and Montgomery Regional). Bring groceries or plan a stop at one of the nearby restaurants, since dining options are several miles away and best reached by car.
