Treehouses in the Forest
Imagine waking up among the treetops. Treehouse accommodations, such as those found at The Flying Carpet, a Moroccan treehouse in Cullman, or ReTreet Resort and Spa near beautiful Lake Guntersville, provide a serene escape from everyday life.
Cabins with a View

Boutique Hotels
North Alabama is home to an array of boutique hotels that blend historic charm with modern luxury. The city of Florence has the GunRunner Boutique Hotel and The Stricklin Hotel. For those seeking a more upscale experience, Huntsville has 106 Jefferson, a sophisticated retreat with a rooftop bar overlooking the city, and the AC Hotel, offering convenient access to the city's vibrant nightlife and attractions.
Lakeside Retreats
At Starlight Haven at Weiss Lake, guests can choose from geodesic domes, safari-style tents and A-frame cabins for a serene retreat in the Lookout Mountain region. Situated on the shores of Smith Lake, Fire Tower Camp provides a tranquil escape while the cottages at Goose Pond Colony offer stunning sunset views over Lake Guntersville.
Glamping
If you want to be outdoors but don't like the idea of sleeping on the ground, then glamping is for you! Lake Guntersville State Park, Monte Sano State Park and Palomino RV Resort at Burrow-Hamilton Farm offer glamping safari tents and are perfect for couples or families.
