Also, the lake house is high on a bluff, so please no sitting or standing on railings on the porches. We want all of our guest safe. Smoking or vaping of any form are not allowed indoors. We asses a $350 fee if there is any evidence of smoking or vaping inside the house after checkout. Any trash that is placed in the trash bins at the end of the driveway MUST be in a garbage bag.

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 He ran the monastery’s power plant and was, even by a monk's standards, a withdrawn, quiet man.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 43 min drive \- 55.9 km - ![Smith Lake at Unicoi State Park in Georgia](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/6124377/9bf2fa77-5d37-4abf-a9dc-07c70ed6ba5b.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=115.61&rh=65.03&ra=fit&q=high) Smith Lake Park 46 min drive \- 36.8 km - Lewis Smith Lake 2 min walk \- 0.2 km - Stone Bridge Farms 48 min drive \- 61.9 km - Wallace State Community College 50 min drive \- 67.3 km ### Restaurants - La Plaza Bonita 19 min drive - Arley Coffee Shop 19 min drive - Middle Of Meek 19 min drive - hotdog hut 27 min drive - Ducan 29 min drive ## Frequently asked questions ### Is Sunset Views-Modern Lake Retreat pet-friendly? ### How much is parking? ### What time is check-in at Sunset Views-Modern Lake Retreat? ### What time is check-out at Sunset Views-Modern Lake Retreat? ### Where is Sunset Views-Modern Lake Retreat located? ## Have a question?

May 12, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### The BEST getaway This was our mini honeymoon stay, and by far, this is one of the absolute BEST places we’ve ever stayed at. The place was phenomenal. Everything was very clean and just perfect. Easy communication with host and very flexible with check in/out timing. We had our wedding at a venue close to the property, and they were very generous in letting us check in early to get ready for the wedding. This place also has one of the best views, very private as well.We will definitely be back and would love to celebrate our anniversary at the same spot next year! Highly recommend. \*Just make sure you load up on groceries, closest convenience store is about 20mins away and doordash/uber eats is not always available in the area. ##### leen s. Stayed 3 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Matthew V. Sep 8, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Our host gave us helpful check-in instructions on how to get our code for the door, as the cell reception is not the best up near the house. When we arrived, the house was clean and welcoming. Plenty of towels, blankets, pillows, and there was even some fire wood already out for the fire pit. The view from inside the house and from the deck was awesome. The wifi was great and plenty fast enough when needed. The propane grill works great, there were even back up full tanks if needed. Down by the water the dock was nice and had a ladder for water access. We also caught some blue gill/sunfish off the dock. Also there are hundreds of perfect skipping rocks on the bank we skipped rocks for an hour it seemed like. Almost like a sandy rocky beach that the kids used to play in the water. Our host was quick to respond with any questions. Overall it was a fantastic stay and we will definitely be coming back. Checkout instructions were a breeze. 10/10 ##### Matthew V.
