What guests are saying about Log Cabin Inn.
"I had a great stay at the Log Cabin Inn. It was quiet, exceptionally clean, and comfortable. The staff went above and beyond—when I returned from the hospital, they kindly asked how my mother was doing, which meant so much to me. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, with charming touches, like the cute lights around the swimming pool, that make it feel extra cozy. Highly recommend for anyone looking for an affordable and peaceful place to stay. I wouldn't consider any other hotel in Bay Minette after finding this one!"

She got us into a room for the night and helped us straighten out the wrong booking so that I could get a refund. 💚 Our room was nice and clean. The property is well maintained. We would definitely stay here again on a trip to Bay Minette."
