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 He ran the monastery’s power plant and was, even by a monk's standards, a withdrawn, quiet man.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 61 min drive \- 76.7 km - Lewis Smith Lake 1 min walk \- 0.1 km - Houston Historic Jail 22 min drive \- 20.0 km - WildWater Cullman 58 min drive \- 73.7 km - Sportsman Lake Park 58 min drive \- 74.1 km ### Restaurants - Jack's 16 min drive - Sapore Grill 17 min drive - Subway 17 min drive - Buena Vista 17 min drive - Talk Of The Town 22 min drive ## Frequently asked questions ### Is Secluded Alabama Retreat - Lewis Smith Lake Access pet-friendly? ### How much is parking? ### What time is check-in at Secluded Alabama Retreat - Lewis Smith Lake Access? ### What time is check-out at Secluded Alabama Retreat - Lewis Smith Lake Access? ### Where is Secluded Alabama Retreat - Lewis Smith Lake Access located? ## Have a question?

Nothing fancy. It is basically what you would think of as a cottage on a lake. Mismatched broken furniture. Dirty mattress on upstairs bunk bed. Didn’t see any bugs but I’m thinking I may have gotten head lice from the pillows. The skillets and stuff had to be scrubbed before we could use them. We did see some sort of water bug that’s to be expected on a lake. The internet is horrible I had to use my hotspot for a firestick on the tv. No one else’s phones would work on the internet or even had spotty phone service. Again to be expected way out in the country. Very hard to find even on gps. The gentleman was very quick to send me a pin location for my iPhone map to get to it. He was very nice, quick and helpful. I personally wouldn’t stay here again but it’s nice if you are looking for a secluded area to unwind from civilization. ##### Tammy Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2024 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Gulf view condo with pool & fitness center - balcony, open layout, and W/D](https://www.expedia.ca/Orange-Beach-Hotels-Gulf-View-Condo-With-Pool-Fitness-Center-Balcony.h99969287.Hotel-Information) > > [Phoenix II by Brett Robinson Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/Gulf-Shores-Hotels-Phoenix-II-By-Brett-Robinson-Vacations.h66019922.Hotel-Information) > > [Summers Edge](https://www.expedia.ca/Orange-Beach-Hotels-Summers-Edge.h102395447.Hotel-Information) > > [Gulf Front ground floor condo with fishing pier and indoor and outdoor pools](https://www.expedia.ca/Orange-Beach-Hotels-Gulf-Front-Condo-With-Gulf-Front-Fishing-Pier-And-Indoor-And-Outdoor-Pools.h45240358.Hotel-Information) > > [Ta-Kee-La Sunrise at The Osprey | Pool | Bayside Dock | My Beach Getaways](https://www.expedia.ca/Orange-Beach-Hotels-Ta-Kee-La-Sunrise-At-The-Osprey-Boat-Slip-Pool-Beach-Getaways.h103698588.Hotel-Information) > > [Turquoise Place C2405 | Oversized, hot tub/grill on deck, huge slide for kids!](https://www.expedia.ca/Orange-Beach-Hotels-Turquoise-Place-C2405-Orange-Beach.h39679969.Hotel-Information) > > [ Phoenix V 202](https://www.expedia.ca/Gulf-Shores-Hotels-Phoenix-V-Condos-By-Hosteeva.h22587899.Hotel-Information) > > [Phoenix Gulf Tower 404 4 Bedroom Condo](https://www.expedia.ca/Orange-Beach-Hotels-Phoenix-Gulf-Tower-404-4-Bedroom-Condo.h90980981.Hotel-Information) > > [Grand Pointe 707 by Liquid Life](https://www.expedia.ca/Orange-Beach-Hotels-Gulf-Front-Condo-Hot-Tub-Access-Liquid-Life.h36246793.Hotel-Information) > > [Quality Inn & Suites Demopolis](https://www.expedia.ca/Demopolis-Hotels-Quality-Inn-Suites.h1464344.Hotel-Information) > > [Slow Mornings + Ocean Horizons Phoenix VI 6501](https://www.expedia.ca/Orange-Beach-Hotels-Beachfront-3BR-Condo-Phoenix-VI-6501.h22693957.Hotel-Information) > > [Grand Pointe #714 by Southern Vacation Rentals](https://www.expedia.ca/Orange-Beach-Hotels-Grand-Pointe-714.h83410374.Hotel-Information) > > [Lovely 1BR Gulf Front Condo - Phoenix VIII 8405](https://www.expedia.ca/Orange-Beach-Hotels-Lovely-1BR-Gulf-Front-Condo-Phoenix-VIII-8405.h22721709.Hotel-Information) > > [\*TOP GUEST CHOICE\* Premium One Bedroom Phoenix VI 6207](https://www.expedia.ca/Orange-Beach-Hotels-TOP-GUEST-CHOICE-Premium-One-Bedroom-Phoenix-6.h22693297.Hotel-Information) > > [🏖️ Wild and free just like the sea🌊](https://www.expedia.ca/Orange-Beach-Hotels-Wild-And-Free-Just-Like-The-Sea.h22865743.Hotel-Information) > > [Phoenix 8 \~ 1 BR 1 BA \~ Top Floor AMAZING VIEWS!!!](https://www.expedia.ca/Orange-Beach-Hotels-Phoenix-8-1-BR-1-BA-Top-Floor-AMAZING-VIEWS.h22153380.Hotel-Information) > > [Beautiful 2BD Gulf Front Condo - Phoenix V 1206](https://www.expedia.ca/Orange-Beach-Hotels-Beautiful-2BD-Gulf-Front-Condo-Phoenix-V-1206.h22692755.Hotel-Information) > > [720' Fishing Pier | Four Seasons 104W | Beachfront Condo | Beach Getaways](https://www.expedia.ca/Orange-Beach-Hotels-720-Fishing-Pier-Four-Seasons-2B25B-Beachfront-Condo-Beach-Getaways.h112086239.Hotel-Information) > > [Turquoise Place Unit 1808D \*FANTASTIC RATES!
