It was almost quitting time on a Friday, and Josie Russell Young was looking forward to her weekend when the phone at Russell Construction of Alabama’s Montgomery office rang. She saw it was a California phone number and almost didn’t answer.
“It was 4:45, and I really thought it was spam,” she said, “but I picked up anyway. What a surprise.”
Alabama also has many tiny house options on Airbnb that are as accommodating as they are adorable. This tiny house can actually sleep up to six guests and has two bedrooms and one bath. It’s a 400-square-foot tome on the Locust Fork River that’s pet-friendly and situated on a 105-acre eco-retreat and goat farm. It’s remote and inaccessible by car, so your host will drive you the last 1.25 miles in a UTV. The tiny home has two queen-size beds, a twin futon, and a twin mattress. It also has a stocked kitchen, fire pit, hammock, electric lights, and lots of trails right at your back door. The cabin overlooks the river, which is about 200 yards away. Bring the food you’ll need with you since trips outside the property must be arranged. It’s a true off-the-grid getaway you’ll never forget.
