CASE ROCK RETREAT

Nestled in the woods of Kimberly, Alabama, living off-grid is a surprisingly-easy ride from Birmingham.

Whether you stay in the cabin (top three photos), in the micro camper (lower photos), or in the Mercedes Unimog (yes, a military truck converted into a camper), you'll love the quiet and simply life. Hike down to the Cahaba River, climb up to the deck for a good read, and enjoy a campfire before heading to bed. Note that you can't drive out to the campsites, due to the rough terrain, so your host, Glenn, or one of his helpers will take you and your gear to the site in a UTV.
