Checkout Bear Creek Log Cabins We have been 5 times and it's a perfect place for a getaway with a family with small kids. The owners of these cabins are a really nice couple. They give you access to their entire property which includes a fishing pond loaded with perch and bass, a path to some local trails and you can even go play with their goats. Nearby, Ft. Payne and Mentone have advanced and easy trails, State Parks with waterfalls, cool restaurants etc. It's also only about an hour away from Chattanooga which is a good city to spend the day with children. (Aquarium, Rock City, etc)
