The West Hollow Reset Cabin is a private, one-person, off-grid cabin at Oak Hollow near Boaz, Alabama.
It sits near the Meadow in one of the quieter areas of the property and is designed for a guest who wants solitude, simple shelter, walking access, and practical support from the nearby Hub.
This is not a conventional vacation rental, party cabin, couple’s getaway, or fully furnished tiny house.
It is a simple reset cabin for one guest who wants to step away, slow down, read, write, rest, think, walk, sit by the fire, and settle into a quieter rhythm.

The Setting
West Hollow is the more private reset cabin area at Oak Hollow.
The cabin sits near the Meadow, with the front porch about 25 feet from the Meadow and the cabin nestled in the pines.
Vehicles are not allowed in the Meadow or at the cabin. Guests park near the Hub and walk approximately 300–400 feet to the cabin. Oak Hollow provides a pull-cart, but guests should still expect to carry or cart their belongings from the parking area.
This walking access is part of how West Hollow remains quiet, simple, and separate from ordinary drive-up lodging.
Inside the Cabin
The West Hollow Reset Cabin includes:
- XL twin bed with mattress
- simple sitting/writing space
- arm chair
- wood-burning stove/heater
- 8-foot counter with storage underneath
- small sink draining into a 5-gallon bucket
- basic safety items
- written cabin instructions
- nearby fire ring with two outdoor chairs
The cabin gives a guest a place to sleep, sit, read, write, warm by the stove, step outside, and settle into a slower daily rhythm.
How the Off-Grid Setup Works
West Hollow is intentionally simple.
The cabin does not have built-in electricity, pressurized running water, indoor plumbing, a refrigerator, or a full kitchen.
The small sink drains into a 5-gallon bucket underneath. Guests are expected to use water sparingly and follow written instructions for managing the sink bucket.
Water is available from the Watering Place and the Hub.
The Hearth is the cabin’s composting-toilet outhouse. It is a simple 4×4 structure located approximately 20 feet behind the cabin. Guests should be comfortable using a composting toilet and following written instructions for keeping the system clean and workable.
The Hearth is for toilet use only. Food scraps, coffee grounds, trash, wipes, paper towels, grease, and dishwater do not go in the Hearth.
The Hub
The Hub is the nearby on-grid support building located near the parking area.
Because West Hollow is off-grid, the Hub provides practical support that allows the cabin itself to remain quiet and uncluttered.
Depending on the arrangement and availability, the Hub may provide access to:
- kitchen and food-prep space
- refrigerator
- water access
- charging access
- bathroom with shower
- washer and dryer
- library / reading room
- indoor sitting or writing space
- shelter during bad weather
Guests bring their own food, coffee, bedding, towels, and personal supplies.
The intended rhythm is simple:
Cabin for solitude.
Hub for support.
Meadow between them.
