Coyote Cabin is situated on the 92-acre retreat property known as Woodland Retreat at DeSoto. As its name implies, this cabin and retreat property offer guests a peaceful retreat and cool mountain getaway, deep in the woods and high atop Lookout Mountain in Alabama. Explore waterfalls, parks, shops, and restaurants. Relax by the rock fire pit or on the front porch with a cup of coffee, and enjoy views through a canopy of trees. Wildlife is spotted frequently on the property, and beautiful hiking trails are walking distance as the backyard of the cabin is part of DeSoto State Park. Renew, refresh, and be restored!

THE RETREAT PROPERTY

Not long after you turn onto the private road that winds through the retreat property, you will see Coyote Cabin on your left, along with your own private parking area (2 cars max). Nearby, you will see The Otter Box Cabin and Black Bear Cave (also listed).

Beside your parking area at Coyote Cabin, there are stairs leading up to the cabin's entrance from the parking area. At the top of the stairs, you will appreciate the views from the covered porch area. This is a great place to enjoy a cup of coffee in the morning and enjoy the views :)

Stepping inside the cabin, you will know your peaceful retreat has begun as you are surrounded by windows that reveal the most beautiful "treehouse views." From every window, you will see refreshing views through a canopy of trees. Be sure to look up and notice the beautiful wood ceiling that was built by the homeowners and upcycled from hurricane-weathered wood planks on Alabama's own coast in Baldwin County.

Moving into the main living area, you will appreciate the sight of a large comfortable sofa and loveseat. The sofa folds out to a queen bed when there are 6 guests. There is an gas log fireplace for your enjoyment, and for movie nights in, there is a 55" HD television in the living room with fast Wi-Fi for streaming your own favorite channel subscriptions. A DVD player is also available if you'd like to bring your favorite DVDs.

Directly next to the living room area is the dining area and kitchen. There is seating for up to six with two additional chairs on the front porch. In the kitchen, there is a refrigerator, stove, microwave, dishwasher, coffee maker, toaster, blender, cooking pots, can opener, pans and utensils, dishes, drinking glasses, eating utensils, cooking spices, coffee mugs, and more.

A primary bedroom boasts beautiful window views. There is a closet, and for the bed, there is a queen bed and with comfortable bedding for your rest and relaxation.

The secondary bedroom also has a queen bed, and there is a sitting bench beside the bed that can be used to climb into the big, comfy bed as the thick mattress and box springs give it more height.

A full bathroom includes a full tub/shower combo and sink vanity. Directly across the hall from the bathroom, there is a full laundry room with a washer and dryer available for your convenience, as well as a fold-out ironing board with iron. You will also find extra quilts, a portable fan and a sofa-bedding kit.

Back outside and near the cabin, you will notice a rock fire pit designed with your retreat in mind. You are welcomed to use any small pieces of fallen wood that can safely fit inside the fire pit, and firewood bundles are sold at nearby stores. Please only burn firewood, as the homeowners and guests roast food over this fire pit. Extendable roasters are located in a kitchen drawer for your convenience, so be sure to bring ingredients for s'more memories. Near the fire pit is your Charcoal/wood-burning Campground-Style BBQ Grill with a metal bucket and lid to collect grill ashes :)

We stayed at Coyote Cabin for my friend’s birthday near the state park to go hiking and bird watching. This was the perfect cabin for everything we wanted to do! 5 minutes from most trailheads, lots of birds and wildlife, peaceful evenings with all of our favorite comforts. If we come back to DeSoto State Park, we hope to stay here again.

We just spent a week at the Coyote Cabin and really enjoyed our stay. The cabin has recently been updated and is very nice inside and out. It was very comfortable inside and had everything we needed. The covered front porch is a nice place to sit out. The WiFi service was also pretty good, which we appreciated in the evenings. We came here to spend time outdoors, and this was perfect for that. The cabin is on a gravel road with 2 other cabins nearby, but with plenty of woods around. The entrance to Desoto State Park is 0.5 miles from the cabin, and there are trail options there. Another 0.6 miles got us to parking with 4 different trailheads — we went on one of these every day. Walmart and several restaurant options were 15 to 20 minutes away. (There were some other closer things.) Our host suggested The Hatter Cafe, and it was excellent — we went there twice. We also liked the Santa Fe Cattle Company in Fort Payne. We would definitely recommend this cabin if you want to get away from things!

Coyote Cabin (9/20-22): The reservation, payment, and checkout process were all straightforward and flawless. Peaceful Retreats (and Misti) knew my questions before I knew them and communicated well via email and text. Misti pointed us to lots of good information about food and events (and animal activity) in the Fort Payne area. We arrived after dark, but Misti left the lights on for us. We walked in and found the cabin to be very clean. It felt new and fresh and comfortable. The cabin is in the middle of woods, with the nearest cabin far enough away so you aren't really aware of it. There is a hammock and a fire pit that we didn't use, but they would be fun for another trip with the kids. We used our free breakfast vouchers (Thank you Peaceful Retreats!) at The Hatter restaurant and liked it so much that we returned the next morning. The cabin was home base for day trips to DeSoto SP and LRCNP. We recommend this cabin for a stay and will return when we can!
