Ave Maria Grotto, in Cullman, Alabama, is a landscaped, 4-acre park in an old quarry on the grounds of St. Bernard Abbey, providing a garden setting for 125 miniature reproductions of some of the most famous religious structures of the world. It was added to the Alabama Register of Landmarks and Heritage on February 24, 1976, and to the National Register of Historic Places on January 19, 1984. The stone and concrete models are the work of Brother Joseph Zoettl, a Benedictine monk of St. Bernard's Abbey, who devoted some 50 years to the project, the last three decades (1932 to 1961) almost without interruption. They incorporate discarded building supplies, bricks, marbles, tiles, pipes, sea shells, marbles, plastic animals, costume jewellery, toilet bowl floats and cold cream jars. Born in 1878 in the Kingdom of Bavaria, Brother Joseph was maimed in an accident that left him slightly hunched due to cervical kyphosis. He immigrated to the United States as a teenager, settling in northern Alabama. Soon afterward he began studying at the newly founded Benedictine monastery of St. Bernard, where he took his vows in 1897. Br. Joseph was not allowed to be ordained as a priest, due to the rule of the period that stated any man with a distracting disability could not be ordained a priest. He ran the monastery’s power plant and was, even by a monk's standards, a withdrawn, quiet man. Brother Joseph rarely left Alabama, where he died in 1961. ](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/6057735/f10f98ee-727f-4b65-a3db-5e860093e056.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=115.61&rh=65.03&ra=fit&q=high) Ave Maria Grotto 59 min drive \- 69.1 km - Lewis Smith Lake 1 min walk \- 0.1 km - WildWater Cullman 56 min drive \- 65.3 km - Sportsman Lake Park 56 min drive \- 65.7 km - Larkwood Falls 61 min drive \- 69.3 km ### Restaurants - La Plaza Bonita 11 min drive - Arley Coffee Shop 10 min drive - Talk Of The Town 22 min drive - Izzy's Deli - Sonny's Catfish Cafe 24 min drive ## Frequently asked questions ### Is Captain's Quarters: 5 BR, 2.5 BA House in Arley, Sleeps 14 pet-friendly? ### How much is parking? ### What time is check-in at Captain's Quarters: 5 BR, 2.5 BA House in Arley, Sleeps 14? ### What time is check-out at Captain's Quarters: 5 BR, 2.5 BA House in Arley, Sleeps 14? ### Where is Captain's Quarters: 5 BR, 2.5 BA House in Arley, Sleeps 14 located? ## Have a question?

Jul 21, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Lake weekend Great family friendly place to stay. ##### William B. Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sarah J. Aug 20, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy The home was perfect for our family of four and could definitely accommodate more people comfortably. The kids stayed in the basement and enjoyed the table tennis and foosball.The house was well kept, with the exception of the patio space down by the firepit, which had weeds growing over it. Another small thing to note is that you may need to bring your own grilling tools. They seemed to be missing from the property. ##### Sarah J. Stayed 5 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Andrea O. Dec 27, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Christmas in Paradise We had a wonderful time! ##### Andrea O. Stayed 5 nights in Dec 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Jene K. Jun 17, 2025 Liked: Check-in, communication, location Disliked: Listing accuracy Overall, we had an enjoyable Father’s Day weekend with family. There doesn’t seem to be adequate reviews for this home. I find them to be very helpful when spending a lot of hard earned dollars. Hopefully this will help others in making a decision on renting or not renting this home.Pros: The cabin was overall clean. More than enough space for the amount of people we had (9). Two living areas was nice to have. The kids enjoyed foosball. The decking has been updated since pictures were taken. Downstairs air keeps it cold at night for cozy sleeping. Wonderful view of the lake and great spot for floating by the dock. Deep water off dock. Cons: Although it is advertised as “no pets allowed”, there have been pets here as evidenced by the white dog all over entry rug and other areas. The family members with allergies also had itchy skin and noses. There is a leather chair with 10 pieces of upholstery tape in living room. Just get a new one. As stated in the pros, the cabin was overall clean and new decking installed, but the grounds of this cabin have not been well maintained. There are weeds as tall as the balcony and growing all in the walkway and staircase. The outdoor furniture on the bottom deck is falling apart. The dock needs a scrub. It could be a beautiful cabin but the lack of care on the outside makes it fall short - a juxtaposition to the well-maintained. For the 2k for 3 nights, more care should be given to the property. It has potential to be great! ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/854eb31a-75d3-4d31-9e1b-f9b8c597e208-1750187267013.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/ccade5f1-05f9-464e-b921-1b23b767f4e2-1750187267090.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/f13b486f-c01f-4208-8b30-d38a9904d5aa-1750187266965.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/21f7f681-320d-407c-9852-8d7f3ec420a5-1750187266609.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Jene K.
