Faye's Retreat

Private cabin that sits extremely close to Little River Canyon at only 3 miles. While sitting only 4.7 miles away from DeSoto State Park making this cabin right in the middle of the areas most popular must see destinations. This cabin has two separate bedrooms and each has a queen sized bed . One upstairs and one downstairs. A custom very unique walk in shower. Very comfy living room area with a fire place and many overhead lighting options for the perfect mood. The upstairs sitting area is perfect for the morning coffee drinker or book reading while staring out the large open windows. The rear porch is the favorite for anyone who visits. Its extremely private, has a large hot tub, a nice sitting area or you can explore the wilderness right outside the back door. The cabin will make you feel as your all by yourself yet your less than 8 minutes to town. We also have great phone and internet service. The kids and adults both will enjoy the moments around the unique fire pit, It offers huge oversized boulders that many friends can sit around for late night fun and marsh mellows. The cabin is completely surrounded by thick trees and sits on a dense private wooded 5 acre lot. We also keep a charcoal grill at the back porch for those that like to grill out. We are about a 17 minute drive to Weiss lake, or a 10 minute drive to Fort Payne water reservoir and within 20 minutes Dekalb County Lake. So bring those kayaks and boats along with you for some great fishing.

We are very communicative and will happily guide you to the areas best attractions whether it be Restaurants, Fishing, Hiking, Malls and so on. We love to help.

For the Romantic couples seeking to surprise there other half. We gladly offer flowers, champagne, cards, rose petals or whatever else you would like to have prior to your arrival for a small additional fee.

New Year's retreat
Property was great and exactly as advertised. Super clean when we got there, they even changed the hot tub water from the previous guests (had to wait a few hours for it to heat back up, but worth it). Very easy checkout process as well. This was exactly what my family needed after the stresses of Christmas.

Awesome cabin in the woods!
We stayed at Faye's Retreat in October. I have used vacation rentals for the past twenty years. This cabin is truly a gem. By far the best rental we have stayed at. Super clean, easy to find, plenty of parking and supplied with more than one would need. The design of cabin is perfect for a family of four. I cannot say enough about the decor and all the special detail. We really hated to leave.

The cabin is beautiful!! Immaculate inside and out! The decor is rustic chic...very cool. It's a peaceful setting and private. Also, very close to all the fun things to do. Fort Payne is a great little town with bars/restaurants, groceries and friendly people. There's hiking at gorgeous Little River Canyon and Desoto State Park, which also has ziplining! Nearby horseback riding too. Owner, Matt, is a great communicator and his mom is a sweetheart. 5 star all the way!

Amazing and peaceful
It was so beautiful. There is one thing i think they need to do and that's to cut those dead trees in the driveway. It got stormy one night we were there and we moved our truck on the road and were scared they would fall on the cabin.

FAYES RETREAT....Very Nice!
Cabin was clean, easy to find. The Description of the property was accurate. Owners instructions were simple and spot on. Overall we had a great time, Fort payne and surrounding areas were beautiful. We spent plenty of time in Chattanooga which was great too. Ate at Vintage 1889, a Taco truck, and Roadside Que in Fort Payne....the owner there was super friendly. All places had fantastic food. It was a nice trip A+++++ Thank you

Anniversary Getaway
We had a great time staying in your beautiful cabin for our “37th” Anniversary. It was the perfect cabin and so peaceful and relaxing, just what we were looking for. The porches, hot tub and shower are wonderful! We even brought our hammocks and hung them in trees out back. The cabin is so easy to find and lots of privacy. Very close to Little River Canyon and easy drive to Ft Payne, Desoto State Park/Falls and Mentone. Matt is quick to respond and send all info you will need for your stay! We also stopped at Parkway Ice Cream and General Store for ice cream and got to meet Matt’s sweet wife and Mom (Ms. Faye). If you are looking for a cabin close to everything in the area you have found the perfect one! We were blessed to stay and hope to get to return soon and stay here again! Thanks again Matt

Perfect quick trip
We made the 2 hour drive from our hometown to Ft Payne for a short little getaway with our ten year old son and his best friend. The two boys had the time of their life kicking a soccer ball around, hanging out by the fire, chilling in the hot tub, and sleeping in the loft area. Ft Payne is gorgeous. This cabin was so clean, well kept, and so cozy. I definitely recommend checking it out!!
