Built from loads of reclaimed materials, this gorgeous space soars.
Like straight out of a fairytale, a jewel set in a forest, on a river.
Private hot tub surrounded by green.  Leave your stress at home.
Study in textures with the 1840s rock chimney, the wall of vintage metal.
Tiny but light filled, airy, and spacious. So much history in the barnwood.

About this property

Fairytale Cabin on Lake Wedowee

Escape to our fairytale cabin, on 27 secluded, private acres of gorgeous forest on Lake Wedowee. Soak in the hot tub, bake a pizza in the wood-fired oven, snuggle in the porch nest swing or stroll down the river road to swim or kayak. Hike to Wolf Creek and pan for gold. This gorgeous cabin is inspired by the original 1840s rock chimneys-found in the forest—built with reclaimed heart of pine, stained glass & cedar from the woods. Guinea fowl live on site. No kids under the age of 12.

This hand-crafted, light-filled cabin will be one of the most luxurious and interesting spaces you will have the pleasure of experiencing.

Brought to you by the team at the famed Alpaca Treehouse in the Bamboo Forest, this beautiful character rich space was inspired by the original 1840s chimneys (2 of them) found on the site, in the forest.

THINGS TO DO:
-Pan for gold in Wolf Creek. We leave you two pans to try your luck. This area used to have gold mines and the river and the creek have gold flakes and maybe even nuggets.
-Fishing: The creek & river are filled with crappie and bass.
-Explore the Property: Dig for artifacts. There is treasure in the ground surrounding the cabin. We’ve found several valuable bottles. Finders keepers!
-Photography: So many opportunities.
-Wildlife Watching
-Kayak or canoe down the Little Tallapoosa/Lake Wedowee. Put in at the launch, at the bottom of our River Road and take out.
-Swim in the river or deep holes in Wolf Creek
-Soak in the Hot Tub: We have the ultimate hot tub experience with the 1840s chimney. Bank up a fire and soak your cares away.
-Make a Pizza in the Wood Fired Oven: Make your own custom pie in our oven. All accessories provided.
-Take a Hike: We have 27 gorgeous acres to explore or hike down country road 532 for easier walking.
-Curl Up In our Nest Swing: And read a book or watch some Netflix on your laptop.
-Check out the Muscogee/Creek Indian Trail Tree: Located down at the confluence where Wolf Creek meets the river/lake is a tree bent using a heavy stone to point the native peoples to special places of important. A confluence was a sacred spot for weddings/funerals.
-Search for Treasure: We have valuable bottles and other artifacts on the property just waiting to be found.
-Dig Arrowheads and Native Pottery: This was once the home to the bustling thriving Native Peoples/Muscogee or Creek Indians. There are artifacts to be found. We found an arrowhead recently.
-Forest Bathing:: Spending time in nature, with its perfect balance of sights, sounds, smells, and peaceful environment, offers essential rewards for our highly stressed mental and physical selves. No wonder the ecotherapy practice of forest bathing, otherwise known as Shinrin-yoku, is gaining steam for all the right reasons. Don’t be confused; the exercise has nothing to do with soap or water. Instead, the name refers to the way participants fully immerse themselves in — and reconnect with — nature.


The interior of the home is filled with massive windows that open onto the forest and the wildflower meadow and the guinea fowl. The walls are all sealed 1890s heart of pine flooring wood, with five species of 1890s barn stall wood on the floors. We used several gorgeous pieces of historic stained glass including the Noah’s Ark piece in the front gable from a church.

Amenities: hot tub, outdoor fireplace, wood-fired pizza oven, blackstone grill/griddle, nest swing, Adirondack chairs fridge, hot plate, microwave, toaster, AC/heat, designer walk in shower with marble and inlaid artifacts from the site.

Sleeps 4: queen sized bed in loft and full-sized futon downstairs.

This will be a stay and escape that you’ll never forget.

Forest Bathing!!!
Only wish we could have stayed longer! The area is so beautiful. The cabin is so unique and so beautiful. The stained glass windows and the fact that everything is reused or recycled is really cool. Morning coffee with the little birdies all around, the African guinea fowl saying good morning, the light coming through the stained glass window; it was truly a unique Refuge. And then you get to walk down the road to the river which was truly a magical spiritual space. Kara was so prompt with her responses to my questions during the stay. Not having a TV was a great experience to really immerse yourself in nature and have a good bonding experience with whomever you bring!! I am truly grateful!!! Thank you Kara O'Brien!!!!

An amazing little getaway!
This little piece of peace was all that I needed for my getaway. The outdoor fire, hot tub and porch were so nice for drinking a cup of coffee or wine. The lounge chair was lovely for reading and journaling. The mattress was like sleeping in a cloud, and feeling among the stars when looking out through the skylight above the bed. I can’t recommend this place enough. Well done, Kara and thank you!

About the host

Hosted by Kara OBrien

Host profile image
Hi my name is Kara O'Brien and I have been hosting short term rentals since 2016 when I rolled out The Alpaca Treehouse in the Bamboo Forest. We did 3 Netflix shows (including Love is Blind and World's Most Amazing Vacation rentals), Treehouse Masters, Kevin Probably Saves the World, and many commercials, music videos and weddings. We gave Billie Eilish and her family a private tour last year, so it's been a wild fun ride!

Why they chose this property

I bought this gorgeous 45 acres because of the magnificence of the river, Wolf Creek, the amazing topography, the natural springs. When I nearly smacked into the stunning 1840s rock chimneys in the middle of the forest, I was obsessed with restoring them and beginning with building an amazing cabin around one of the chimneys, with an entertainment deck around the other. This land is magical, nourishing, and being around the water and trees is soul healing.

What makes this property unique

It's such an untouched property surrounding the cabin: just forest, sky, water. Plus guineas & wildlife. And the adorably charming town of Wedowee is just 10 minutes away. It's the perfect nature escape. The property is filled with moving water and I absolutely love that.
