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.

    Although the outside doesn't have the appearance of a cabin the inside does. Antique furniture, wooden walls and high ceiling beams. The kitchen is very well equipped. The sound of the train was nostogic. My favorite spot was sitting on the porch listening to the breeze and watching the slow falling leaves. Our host was great and available if we needed her.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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 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.

    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!
