UA Graduation

I can’t even put into words how wonderful this was! We were there because my son was graduating from the University of Alabama. My family converged at the cabin from five different states. We were all able to stay there comfortably. My son had friends over the night before graduation. We had a bonfire outside, there were two different piers to sit on in addition to the wraparound porch. There was a place for everybody to go. At one point, all of the college grads were out at one of the piers (equipped with a tiki bar) and a stereo equipped with Bluetooth. So, here are all these 22 year old guys, belting out “Sweet Caroline” at the top of their lungs! It’s a memory I will always keep. The next morning, we all went on a walk on one of the dozens of hiking trails on the property. I wish we could’ve stayed there longer, so we could’ve taken advantage of the kayaks they had. The grounds were so beautiful, we ended up taking a lot of the graduation pictures there, which we hadn’t even planned to do. The kitchen was equipped with EVERYTHING you would need! They had a fridge stocked with bottled water, in addition to four bags of ice in the freezer for us. They could not have been better hosts! As difficult as it was to pull off a graduation party being planned in Wisconsin, but implemented in Alabama, Erin sure helped make it easy!

Beautiful property! So peaceful!

We enjoyed our stay & wish we could have stayed longer! The hosts were excellent & communicated everything about our stay very thoroughly! So peaceful- I loved having coffee on one of the rocking chairs on the front porch! Would definitely return! So fun to have a different kind of experience visiting our Bama son, other than at a hotel! Roll Tide

Wood “heaven” would be a more accurate description!

The Woodhaven cabin was the absolute perfect property for our family to gather for Bama vs. Ole Miss football game weekend. With more than ample room for the 9 of us, all slept very comfortably. The cabin itself has every amenity you can possibly imagine right down to the cocktail strainer!! The property is as private as it can be, overlooking a beautiful pond from the ample porch and rocking chairs and from the tiki bar (complete with flat screen TV and drink fridge) or the lovely pier. With 3 grills, a fire pit, yard games, walking trails and fishing, there was something entertaining for everyone. Our only regret is that we could not stay longer. Erin, our host, could not have been more accommodating. Just a lovely lovely place!!

Iron Bowl & Thanksgiving

We had a great visit to Tuscaloosa, the property is incredible with a great cabin, thoroughly stocked with EVERYTHING you need. The property owners were so helpful, even provided worms for my son to fish. Only 20 min drive to UA campus. We definitely will be back!

Our families own this property that we purchased during 2020 as we wanted to have a place close to home to get away during the pandemic. We realized others would also possibly enjoy retreating to nature close to home and decided to list this property. We see this as an opportunity to host retreats and accommodate families who come to town for graduation and football games at UA. This is a special place that helps you be near town and get away in the tranquil woods.

Why they chose this property

This property was formerly Ingram Farms and was set up to have recreation and farming with a nice log cabin installed in 2005. It is a pristine setting that you immediately feel restored and renewed when you hear the birds, feel the breeze, and see the sunlight shining through the trees and glistening over the water. It is only 1.7 miles off Highway 82 and a straight shot to campus only 18 miles away.

What makes this property unique

Plenty of room for parking, setting up additional tents, having your pets, extra friends and family join you while you are vacationing here. You are able to have your child's graduation party, photos, and meals without having to reserve additional venues in town.
