Great stay in Waldo!
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!

Family Christmas
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!! Steve, Pat, Brittany, Coleman, Linzi, Marleigh, Highland, Brigham.....Virginia

Unplug and relax
This is our second stay here, we love it! It’s so quiet and easy to unplug from our electronics and enjoy the peace and quiet. The creek is great and the kids enjoyed playing and exploring in it. It’s great that they provide everything! Games, movies, fire pit, grill, pictures of what you’ll see around the area and so much more! There is a train that goes past that may turn some people off but ear plugs and noise machines are provided in all the bedrooms so we were not bothered by them. Again love this place and the owners are super nice as well and reached out several times! We will definitely be back!

Great house, great host, great visit
Getting away from everything. A lovely place in the deep Alabama woods. You are virtually invisible to everyone. Pick up everything you need at Wal-Mart in Talladega and enjoy your week of serenity. The screened porch is a great place to listen to the sounds of nature. We had the best week with our grown sons (53 & 47). And Maggie is a wonderful host.

Rustic comfort
This is our 4th stay here to attend events in Talladega. The house is comfortable, secluded, convenient to town, and homey. Maggie is super responsive and helpful. Just be aware that the house itself needs repairs and maintenance, hence the “rustic” description. Furnace was out (middle of October) so Maggie got us space heaters. We survived! I like having a full kitchen and laundry, BBQ grill, screened porch, privacy. It was a nice stay.

My sisters and I had a great visit to the Talledaga/Waldo area. Cute house on really nice property. Fall colors were bursting. Waded in the creek. Read in the screened in porch. Put a puzzle together. Went for a nice hike close by. Maggie was very attentive and replied back quickly whenever we had a question. We would recommend her house to others.

Beautiful Property Close to Lots of Fun!
My hound dog and I really enjoyed our stay. This is easily one of the most well-stocked rentals we’ve ever stayed in. You name it, they have it! Maggie is a very sweet and gracious hostess. The porch was where we spent every morning and evening, like being in a tree house! Pro-tip for light sleepers, grab the front bedroom with the desk. The trains are a bit quieter in that room. Also, if you are a really light sleeper, the trains are loud. But it’s not unmanageable. Maggie has gone to great lengths to provide everything you need for a restful night. I see why everyone loves this place, we’ll be staying with Maggie & Co again in the future!

My Happy Place
We loved staying at Triple Creek Farm. In a world with zoom and WhatsApp it was great to disconnect. The bed was comfortable and the kitchen had everything I needed to cook a hardy breakfast. My favorite spot was on the screened in porch. If you have to do work, the large desk in the second bedroom is perfect. We didn’t use the bunk room, but I’m sure kids would love it. Thanks for letting us stay!

The perfect hiding spot!
My husband and I both work in IT and were so excited to find a perfect getaway without any Wi-Fi! It was the perfect getaway our little family needed. We read books, watched old movies, explored and fished in the stream... It was just a gorgeous place to be and escape from the world. The home was so well equipped with everything you could need & with Talladega only about 10 minutes away, we wanted for nothing. We fished & hunted for fossils in the creek, but couldn't do it without really good water shoes & balance. Those rocks are super slippery & we had a couple of falls, but enjoyed so much. We couldn't get down to the deeper part of the creek by the bridge because it was overgrown, but seeing the bridge and learning about the history there was super cool for my kids. We definitely cannot wait to visit again. Maggie was just a gem and we're so thankful for finding her & the beautiful home here!

The cottage had everything we needed. It was a great place to disconnect. The screened in porch was wonderful and it only took a short time to get used to the trains that came by occasionally. We enjoyed the great hiking in the National Forest, which was the main reason we came to the area. All in all, a very relaxing time.

Spring break 2022
My husband and I and our 3 granddaughters enjoyed the cabin/house for spring break. The girls enjoyed the creek on the sunny days and the screened in porch on the rainy days. Our Boston terrier enjoyed all the windows that let in the sunshine and the long walks. There is a train track that is very close to the house but growing up in the country close to tracks it really didn't bother me and after the 2nd day we hardly noticed it at all. It was a great week, thank you Maggie for everything!!!

Great for "Getting Away"
It was a beautiful, tranquil location with an Alabama atmosphere that felt authentic and welcoming. We enjoyed having enough space - 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, and a kitchen to cook in was wonderful for our family. The property itself is beautiful, we loved looking out on the trees, creek, bridge, and other scenery. We enjoyed that it was "off the grid" - it allowed us to spend some quality time together that we really enjoyed. The property owner was very responsive and welcoming. Overall it was a wonderful retreat after exploring Alabama, and we really enjoyed our stay!

Beautiful peaceful property with creek access
Maggie is a wonderful, accessible and helpful host. Julia was a great resource as well, we were lucky enough to meet her when we arrived. The house sits on some amazing property with creek access and hills for hiking/playing. It's near the city of Talladega and hiking/nature trails nearby. The kitchen is fully stocked, many convenience items are in the bathrooms and laundry as well! The library, games and DVD collection are great for rainy days. The only drawback we had was adjusting to the train being so close, but after night 2, I was the only one out of 7 of us that still occasionally heard it.
