Guest rating: 4.3 / 5
Overview
This studio-style unit is one of the Wagon Wheel Suites at Kick Back Ranch, a rural retreat in Alabama set behind the Cabins at Cowboy Town and along the shore of Kick Back Lake, the largest of five lakes on the property. The setting emphasizes quiet country mornings and evenings, with the lake as the visual centerpiece of the stay. It's a self-contained lodging option rather than a traditional hotel, geared toward travelers wanting a rustic, lakeside country escape.
Rooms & Layout
The unit includes a full kitchen, one bathroom, and a private deck, making it suited for guests who want to cook their own meals and enjoy outdoor space overlooking the lake. Wagon Wheel Suites are typically furnished with a queen bed plus a queen/twin bunk configuration, and can accommodate 4-6 guests, making this a practical option for small families or groups. In-room comforts include air conditioning, heating, cable TV, and free Wi-Fi.
Amenities
The kitchen comes fully equipped with a microwave and oven/stove, supporting self-catering during longer stays, and an in-unit washer adds convenience for extended visits. The property is smoke-free throughout, and the private balcony/deck offers a quiet outdoor spot to take in the lake views described in the property's own summary.
Dining & Surroundings
While the unit itself has a full kitchen for self-catering, the surrounding area offers a range of dining options within a roughly 8 to 31 kilometer radius, including American restaurants like The Ramer Cafe and It Don't Matter Family Restaurant, seafood at WOW CRAB, soul food at Chandler's Smokehouse Grill, and country fare at Stockyard Grill. Montgomery Regional Airport is about 24 kilometers away, giving guests a reasonably accessible air travel connection for a rural property.
Best for
This unit suits families and small groups seeking a self-catered, lakeside country retreat, thanks to the full kitchen, deck, and Wagon Wheel Suite capacity for 4-6 guests. It also appeals to travelers looking for a quiet, nature-focused stay away from city hotels, given the ranch's lake setting and rural Alabama location. Guests displaced by regional emergencies or seeking an extended, home-like stay may also find the kitchen, washer, and smoke-free environment practical.
Travel tips
Montgomery Regional Airport is about 24 kilometers away, so plan for a drive to and from the ranch since it sits in a rural setting without documented public transit. Because the property has an on-site kitchen, consider stocking up on groceries early, though several restaurant options ranging from about 8 to 31 kilometers away provide alternatives for dining out. Given the countryside location, a personal vehicle is recommended for reaching nearby restaurants and the airport.
