  • What our Patrons are saying

    The Bear Claw Treehouse is a truly uniqe experience on such a charming piece of property! The treehouse has a transparent roof, so you can enjoy the stars at night. The decks overlooking the creek are the perfect place to relax and enjoy the sounds of nature. We are already planning our next trip back, and can't wait!

    Burks--october 2022

     

    It was exactly what we were needing for our stay. Our dogs loved having room to run around and the creek to cool off in. Lots of attention to detail. The roof of the treehouse is translucent and it was very cool to watch the lighting bugs at night! Highly recommend!

    Christopher--may 2022

    We loved everything about it. No better place to clear your head and just breathe. So peaceful and quiet. Our dogs were extremely happy. We definitely would like to reserve this hidden gem again and again!

    Kristen--october 2022

    Beautiful property. The host went above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable. Our adventure kitty,Rosey, loved roaming the woods.

    Amy--july 2022

  • On Bearclaw you can watch the creek flow...

     

    or get as involved as you want with birdwatching, canoeing, swimming, fishing, hiking, or hunting for arrowheads

     

    Danny an avid hunter and finder of over 400 points said the most beautiful of his collection was found on this triangle

     

     

     

    a hawk leans out to get a better look

    Vacation in a place like no other

    you will know this is a place of mystery and intrigue as you turn down the driveway

     

    Our 2 acre triangle invites you to leave your world behind..... and walk where humans have been walking since the 1500's and before

    Bear Claw's favorite puppy Sheplin

    "if dogs run free, then why not we"

    Bob Dylan

     

    Your favorite dog (limit 2 please) is welcome and with barriers on all 3 sides of the property, a well mannered pup will have the time of his life.

     

     

     

    not gulf shores but a very peaceful beach just off the canoe pier

     

     

  • Bearclaw has several platforms to enjoy the views

    Your treehouse living pod

    Itled at the )

    broken image

    Nestled in the trees with ground supports your treehouse is easily accessed via stairs and has a translucent roof for star gazing from your queen size memory foam bed, there is a zodi pump for a hot shower and a urine only toilet in the treehouse, more serious issues are handled in the freshly cleaned porta potty

    watch out for sasquatch

    Your picnic table sits beneath two

    300 year old white oaks with a bbq grill close by.

    set your table beside Big Canoe Creek

    There is a little strip of white sand just off the pier

    shaped like a huge grand piano

    Big Canoe Creek

    Is fed by Quickhaven Lake and when running normal is beautiful and clear, a bit lazy, and full of delicious fish. Bring your pole, we have the grill. (canoe, vests, and paddles provided)

    one of those sunsets behind Chandler mountain

    enough said

    Your nitetfall porch is perched above the triangle with a 400' view of the creek rolling down to you....

    shhhh... anything could walk, swim, or fly by.

    the rock wall behind you could have been a spot where Indians chipped rock to make arrows  (Littafatchee means makers of arrows)
  • History on these grounds

    Listen to the quiet

    you can't know which echo will bounce back to you.

     

    Hwy 23 under the 2014 snow

    For Real

     

    Alabama Highway 23 is an old, old, Indian Trail.(and alabama's shortest state hwy)

    de Soto and His Conquistadors

    rode thru here in 1540.

    Your tree house is less than 1/2 mile down creek from the site of a Creek Indian village last named Littafatchee

    It was known as Olitifar and said to be in ruins when de Soto came thru

    2 ducks having a talk

    Parties

    In the 30's and 40's folks would drive in by the bridge on county road 31 and park along the creek bank (down by main house) campout and have 4th of July fish fries etc.

     

    Big Canoe Creek was an Indian Highway

    Freedom

    Big Canoe Creek was an Indian highway to the Coosa River and beyond

    Natural lagoon on east end of property

    Sacred

    Back in the day Churches from the area would perform

    baptisms in the creek's natural lagoon at the eastern end of property
