About this property
A remote country cabin surrounded by Forests, Creeks, and near Cheaha & Pinhoti!
Need a place to unwind and relax? No other houses are in sight of the Waldo cabin. You can take a relaxing few days away from the crowds and worries of the world. Spend some time in the country for a few days and reconnect with family, friends and nature! There is no light pollution, so go outside and do some stargazing. I have a fire pit in the front yard for a cozy campfire and BYOM...bring your own marshmallows!
Triple Creek Farm is on the banks of Talladega Creek overlooking the historic Waldo Covered Bridge and old grist mill. Gold used to be mined in the local area and many modern day prospectors come from far and wide to pan Talladega Creek for gold. The farm is 20 acres of oaks, dogwoods, pines and wildflowers surrounded by the Talladega National Forest, with no neighbors in sight! It is nestled in the foothills of the Appalachians at the base of Cheaha Mountain.
You may want to spend your days fishing or tubing the creek or exploring the incredible spring display of wildflowers such as trillium, wild geranium and red buckeye. Perhaps you would enjoy mountain biking the miles of Talladega National Forest roads or the Chief Ladiga Rail Trial near by. Love hiking and backpacking, the Pinhoti Trail, the longest trail in Alabama, is just 2 miles away. Maybe you are a road biker and want to climb from Waldo up to the highest point in Alabama, Mt Cheaha. You can ride your bike out of the Triple Creek Farm drive way and do this.
Just a few miles away is Majestic Caverns Park, where you can explore a deep underground cave, and spend the day enjoying their many family fun activities.
Waldo is just outside the Talladega city limits. Talladega is home to the historic Ritz Theater and the annual April in Talladega pilgrimage of homes. So much fun to choose from... but, perhaps you just look forward to relaxing on the big front screened porch watching birds. Go for a walk and watch the lazy creek roll by.
Many folks tell me of the nostalgia of the old train that passes by several times a day. And kids get excited to see it. If you are a light sleeper and not a fan of trains, I provide earplugs and sound machines in the bedrooms.
Then, of course, if you are a Nascar fan... Waldo is just down the road (about 20 miles) from the Talladega Superspeedway! Planning to come to Dega to drive a race car on the fastest track in all the land? After a fast paced day of racing, come stay in the country and relax!
There is a full kitchen, but if you'd rather not cook, hop in the car and run to Talladega, 6 miles or Oxford, 20 miles, for a selections of restaurants, shops and movie theaters.
Feel free to contact Maggie for more information. She spent over 20 years exploring the mountains on foot, by bike and on horseback! You will find maps of the area and lots of information on things to do, when you arrive at the cabin. Recent updates to bedroom furniture mean we have sleeping for 6 people.

A comfortable space and remote enough to feel like you are away from it all.I am a moth collector and I was able to to find a Regal, Imperial, Blinded Sphinx and a Prometheus to nameA few. We loved the occasional train passing by and great night sounds with owls and cicadas and frogs. We enjoyed our stay.Tad & Jodie….. Molokaislide.com
Nice property with lots to explore! The creek is so peaceful and it’s a nice little walk just bring a stick to knock down spider webs along the way ;) Loved sitting on the screen porch and roasting marshmallows by the fire pit. Already talking about the next time we visit family staying here again.
Maggie is a wonderful host communication is great. We love staying here for the privacy and seclusion. We have stayed here several times and will again soon. Great for families, Maggie has everything you need in a vacation home.
My wife, my doggies and I really enjoyed our extended stay. Maggie was an excellent host, easy to communicate with, relaxed and easygoing. The place was in a beautiful spot in the world. Remote with lots of places to hike and enjoy nature. If you needed any supplies, talledaga was only 5 miles up the road with anything you need, very convenient. The house was nice and comfy with a cool cabin feel and everything you need. Would highly recommend if you like a tranquil experience.
The Waldo Cabin was perfect for my stay in the area. I enjoyed the many decks around the home and the walking trails to the creek. I highly recommend this home rental as it is convenient to everything while you're enjoying your own quiet and secluded retreat surrounded by the beauty of nature and Talladega Creek.
We had a wonderful stay here! The host was extremely communicative, always making sure we had everything we needed, and was very quick to respond to any questions we had throughout our stay.The property itself was super cute, peaceful, and secluded which is exactly what we were looking for. The walking path down to the creek was well maintained and made it easy to explore. Our children and dogs absolutely loved swimming and wadding in the creek and all the little adventures that came with exploring it.We enjoyed the screened in back porch. It was perfect for having meals after grilling and also relaxing in the evenings while winding down from the day. The location was also convenient, only about a 25 minute ish drive to Talladega Speedway. We would definitely stay here again! Thank you.
My husband, pup and I totally enjoyed this stay. We loved the walks, history, and listening to nature. Maggie was wonderful, thank you Maggie! Hope to come again ;)
This comfortable house in the woods is clean and has everything you need. Great place to relax. It's close to Talladega National Forest, Cheaha State Park and Talladega race track. The owner was helpful with directions and easy to reach. My family and I enjoyed our stay.
We really enjoyed our stay here. We were in the area for a very busy competition for our son, and it was so nice to come back to this relaxing, peaceful place to rest and regroup each night. The host is also amazing. The communication was wonderful and she was very quick to respond to any questions. We will definitely try to stay here again when we come back to the area.
This was the most relaxing stay. Beautiful Property. We will be back again!! Ms Maggie is so helpful, and will help you any way she can. You won’t be disappointed!!
Our family had an amazing stay in this Waldo property! Very comfortable home with everything we needed to cook and grill our meals. Plenty of blankets for chilly mornings. We loved the back porch with the view of the woods and saw some beautiful birds! Cheaha State Park and several hiking trails are a close drive away. Thank you for a wonderful stay!
I was looking for a retreat, in nature and close to good hiking, and this was perfect. There is a long, lovely walk on the property down to Talladega Creek, and it's also just a few minutes from the Pinhoti. The cabin itself was comfortable and cozy warm, even when temps fell to the teens. Maggie was conscientiously helpful and gracious.
This property was so nice. The inside is well maintained and very functional if you want to cook they have most anything you would need. The outside is beautiful. Up on a hill with trees throughout and a screened in porch. Maggie was responsive and helpful throughout.
This property exceeded my and my husband’s expectations. We were looking for a secluded place near the forest, and Maggie’s cabin was perfect. From the moment I booked the reservation, Maggie was a communicative and welcoming hostess.Although it was just the two of us, we enjoyed having the space to spread out around the house.The kitchen was ready for preparing meals, and each room was comfortable and clean.
Can't say enough good things about our family's Christmas in this magical place. The cabin location is perfect for privacy and we enjoyed hiking the trails and fishing the creek. Maggie is such a great host and offers a little piece of heaven for people to enjoy. The cabin is well stocked with anything you need to have a great trip. I would recommend this cabin to anyone looking to enjoy nature in a very serene setting. Thank you Maggie for allowing our family to make unforgettable memories together. We look forward to staying here again!!

This cabin was great! It had everything we needed. It was easy to get to. Beds were comfortable. Kitchen had everything needed to cook our meals. Den was cozy. The screened in porch was one of our favorite spots to sit and drink coffee.
The trails and creek were exactly what we were looking for.
Maggie was a perfect host! She answered all of our questions and was so knowledgeable about everything.
We hope to come here again soon.
PS: Bring a black light with you so you can see all the tiny critters lurking in the woods!
My husband and family came to experience a little of Talladega National Forest and to attend a Bigfoot conference in the area. Our son really enjoyed the creek which provided soooo much entertainment for all of us. We do have dogs and we appreciated the remoteness of the home that allowed our dogs to be a little free(er) than a usual rental. I highly recommend tick repellant and for ypur animals to have a tick pill...not a collar as one of ours had just a collar and we were constantly picking ticks off of him. The owner Maggie had a bunch of information on the local area and what attractions were nearby. Ive already recommended this rental to my friends and family!
