Amazing 1970s A-Frame Cabin With Pool

This pristinely preserved 1970s A-frame might be deep in the Alabama woods, but it feels straight out of vintage Big Bear, California: cedar-paneled walls, quirky light fixtures, chic-chalet vibes, a soaring free-standing fireplace and a glittering geometric pool ringed by towering pines. (Note: Pool season is late May to early October.) And as remote and transportive as this nearly 3-acre property feels, it’s a 15-minute drive to the historic Civil Rights sites of downtown Selma.

Superhost
