Escape to Water + Woods, a peaceful wooded retreat tucked away on 10 private acres in Gulf Shores, Alabama. Surrounded by towering trees, natural beauty, and abundant wildlife, this one-of-a-kind property offers a quiet place to relax while still being close to beaches, boating, dining, shopping, and local attractions.
Water + Woods features both a Treehouse and Bunkhouse, creating the perfect getaway for families, groups, nature lovers, and guests looking for a unique Gulf Coast experience surrounded by nature.
The Treehouse comfortably sleeps up to 4 guests and features queen-over-queen bunk beds upstairs, creating a cozy and fun sleeping space. Please note that the sleeping area is located upstairs and there is no elevator, so guests must be comfortable using stairs.
The Bunkhouse sleeps up to 8 guests and includes two sets of queen-over-queen bunk beds along with one full bathroom. Please note that the Bunkhouse does not have unlimited hot water, so larger groups may need to stagger showers accordingly.
Large windows throughout the property bring the outdoors in, while the surrounding woods create a calm, secluded atmosphere perfect for relaxing after a day at the beach, boating, golfing, or exploring Gulf Shores and Orange Beach.
Because Water + Woods is located on 10 wooded acres, guests may encounter local wildlife common to the area, including deer, coyotes, raccoons, frogs, birds, insects, snakes, and other native animals.
