About this house rental
Secluded off-grid cabin
Live deliberately for a day or two. Private, quiet, off-grid, trails, wildlife, a creek, camping, authentic.
The Cabin sits in the middle of a ten acre property adjacent to the Talladega National Forest, with easy access to the Pinhoti Trail. It is located eight miles traveling North outside of the small town of Heflin Alabama which is about an hour and a half outside of the metro areas of Birmingham Alabama and Atlanta Georgia. The property is surrounded by hundreds of square miles of forest.
The cabin is solar-powered and rain water is collected in a cistern for gray water uses. If you are looking for an off-grid cabin experience in a forest, and a quiet place to get away, this is the place for you.
We are Jim and Lisa. It took us over ten years to build the cabin. We did most of the work ourselves buying materials and equipment as the budget allowed. The idea was always simple living, independence from the grid, and affordability. The defining ethic was always: "this is camping!". We often get asked, when are you going to get AC or city water? Our answer is "never". So our guests are those who want peace and quiet, and who want to experience the reality of limited resource usage: solar-powered electricity, rainwater, wood heat. Yes we do use propane gas from a tank to run the refrigerator, but it uses only a tiny amount. The kitchen stove is built for off-grid use which uses a 9-volt battery for ignition. The commode flushes with rainwater. After some time at the cabin, when you get back to civilization, you have a feeling for the vast resources we use on the grid. So if you are up for it, we'd love to have you out for a stay. Come out and vanish for a while.
